John Muir
I care to live only to entice people to look at Nature’s loveliness.
John Muir
The forests of America, however slighted by man, must have been a great delight to God for they were the best he ever planted.
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
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
Winds are advertisements of all they touch, however much or little we may be able to read them telling their wanderings even by their scents alone.
John Muir
Wherever a Scotsman goes, here goes Burns. His grand whole, catholic soul squares with the good of all therefore we find him in everything, everywhere.
John Muir
Earth has no sorrow that earth can not heal.
John Muir
Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.
