More quotes by 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
When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe.
John Muir
Government protection should be thrown around every wild grove and forest on the mountains, as it is around every private orchard, and the trees in public parks. To say nothing of their value as fountains of timber, they are worth infinitely more than all the gardens and parks of towns.
John Muir
Nature had gathered her choicest treasures , to draw her lovers into close and confiding communion with her
John Muir

John Muir
My meals were easily made, for they were all alike and simple, only a cupful of tea and bread.
John Muir
There is that in the glance of a flower which may at times control the greatest of creation's braggart lords.
John Muir
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.
John Muir
The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness.
John Muir
I never saw a discontented tree.
John Muir
Yosemite Park is a place of rest, a refuge from the roar and dust and weary, nervous, wasting work of the lowlands, in which one gains the advantages of both solitude and society.
John Muir
Going into the woods, is going home
John Muir
In God's wildness lies the hope of the world.
John Muir
