John Muir
Image

John Muir

Anyhow we never know where we must go, nor what guides we are to get - -people,storms, guardian angels, or sheep.
John Muir
Image

John Muir
Image
The bat­tle we have fought, and are still fight­ing for the forests is a part of the eter­nal con­flict between right and wrong, and we can­not expect to see the end of it. …So we must count on watch­ing and striv­ing for these trees, and should always be glad to find any­thing so surely good and noble to strive for.

Go quietly alone, no harm will befall you.
John Muir
Image
Take a course in good water and air and in the eternal youth of Nature you may renew your own. Go quietly, alone no harm will befall you.
