More quotes by John Muir

John Muir
To sit in solitude, to think in solitude with only the music of the stream and the cedar to break the flow of silence, there lies the value of wilderness.
John Muir
There is not a fragment in all nature, for every relative fragment of one thing is a full harmonious unit in itself.
John Muir
I have enjoyed the trees & scenery of KY exceedingly. How shall I ever tell of the miles & miles of beauty that have been flowing into me in such measure?
John Muir
Divine love is the sublime boss of the universe.
John Muir

John Muir
Look up and down and round about you.!
John Muir
The tide of visitors will float slowly about the bottom of the valley as harmless scum collecting in hotel and saloon eddies, leaving the rocks and falls eloquent as ever.
John Muir

John Muir
We all travel the Milky Way together, trees and men.
John Muir
One day's exposure to mountains is better than a cartload of books.

Going into the woods, is going home
John Muir
Of all the paths you take in life, make sure a few of them are dirt.
John Muir
None of Nature's landscapes are ugly so long as they are wild.
John Muir
At the touch of this divine light, the mountains seemed to kindle to a rapt, religious consciousness, and stood hushed like devout worshippers waiting to be blessed.
John Muir
In every country the mountains are fountains, not only of rivers but of men. Therefore we all are born mountaineers, the offspring of rock and sunshine.
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
Another glorious Sierra day in which one seems to be dissolved and absorbed and sent pulsing onward we know not where. Life seems neither long nor short, and we take no more heed to save time or make haste than do the trees and stars. This is true freedom, a good practical sort of immortality.
John Muir
Only spread a fern-frond over a man's head and worldly cares are cast out, and freedom and beauty and peace come in.
John Muir
