John Muir
Who publishes the sheet-music of the winds or the music of water written in river-lines?
John Muir
My meals were easily made, for they were all alike and simple, only a cupful of tea and bread.
John Muir
Between every two pine trees there is a door leading to a new way of life.
John Muir
These temple destroyers, devotees of ravaging commercialism, seem to have a perfect contempt for Nature, and, instead of lifting their eyes to the God of the mountains, lift them to the Almighty Dollar.
John Muir
In God's wildness lies the hope of the world.
John Muir
