In this silent, serene wilderness the weary can gain a heart-bath in perfect peace.
John Muir
Nature had gathered her choicest treasures , to draw her lovers into close and confiding communion with her

John Muir
Strange the faithless fuss made about taking a walk in the safest and pleasantest of all places, a wilderness.
John Muir

John Muir
God cannot save them from fools.
John Muir
To the lover of pure wildness Alaska is one of the most wonderful countries in the world.
John Muir
Hiking. I don't like either the word or the thing. People ought to saunter in the mountains...the se mountains are our Holy Land, and we ought to saunter through them reverently, not 'hike' through them.
John Muir
What a psalm the storm was singing, and how fresh the smell of the washed earth and leaves, and how sweet the still small voices of the storm!
John Muir
Every atom in creation may be said to be acquainted with and married to every other, but with universal union there is a division sufficient in degree for the purposes of the most intense individuality.
John Muir
Handle a book as a bee does a flower, extract its sweetness but do not damage it.
John Muir
The world is big and I want to have a good look at it before it gets dark.
John Muir
Of all the paths you take in life, make sure a few of them are dirt.
John Muir
