More quotes by John Muir
Man is always and everywhere a blight on the landscape.
John Muir
Wherever we go in the mountains, we find more than we seek.
John Muir
Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.
John Muir
Wander a whole summer if you can. Time will not be taken from the sum of life. Instead of shortening, it will definitely lengthen it and make you truly immortal.
John Muir
Keep close to Nature's heart... and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.
John Muir
Eternal sunrise, eternal sunset, eternal dawn and gloaming, on seas and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls.
John Muir
Wilderness is a necessity... there must be places for human beings to satisfy their souls.
John Muir
Raindrops blossom brilliantly in the rainbow, and change to flowers in the sod, but snow comes in full flower direct from the dark, frozen sky.
John Muir
Any glimpse into the life of an animal quickens our own and makes it so much the larger and better in every way.
John Muir
Most people who travel look only at what they are directed to look at. Great is the power of the guidebook maker, however ignorant.
John Muir
All Nature's wildness tells the same story: the shocks and outbursts of earthquakes, volcanoes, geysers, roaring, thundering waves and floods, the silent uprush of sap in plants, storms of every sort, each and all, are the orderly, beauty-making love-beats of Nature's heart.
John Muir
Go quietly alone, no harm will befall you.
John Muir
All the world was before me and every day was a holiday, so it did not seem important to which one of the world's wildernesses I first should wander.
John Muir
Going to the mountains is going home.
John Muir
The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness.
John Muir
As long as I live, I'll hear waterfalls and birds and winds sing. I'll interpret the rocks, learn the language of flood, storm, and the avalanche. I'll acquaint myself with the glaciers and wild gardens, and get as near the heart of the world as I can.
John Muir
I...am always glad to touch the living rock again and dip my hand in the high mountain air.
John Muir
I always enjoyed the hearty society of a snowstorm.
John Muir
Trees go wandering forth in all directions with every wind, going and coming like ourselves, traveling with us around the sun two million miles a day, and through space heaven knows how fast and far!
John Muir
The United States government has always been proud of the welcome it has extended to good men of every nation, seeking freedom and homes and bread.
