Going to the woods is going home, for I suppose we came from the woods originally.
John Muir

But to gain a perfect view, one must go yet further, over a curving brow to a slight shelf on the extreme brink.
John Muir
Image
One day's exposure to mountains is better than a cartload of books.
John Muir
Image
Few places in this world are more dangerous than home. Fear not, therefore, to try the mountain passes. They will kill care, save you from deadly apathy, set you free, and call forth every faculty into vigorous, enthusiastic action.
John Muir

Of all the paths you take in life, make sure a few of them are dirt.
John Muir

Between every two pines is a doorway to a new world.
John Muir
Image
A few minutes ago every tree was excited, bowing to the roaring storm, waving, swirling, tossing their branches in glorious enthusiasm like worship. But though to the outer ear these trees are now silent, their songs never cease.
