More quotes by John Muir

Image
In nothing does man, with his grand notions of heaven and charity, show forth his innate, low-bred, wild animalism more clearly than in his treatment of his brother beasts.

In the eternal youth of Nature, you may renew your own.
John Muir
Image
Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of Autumn.

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
Image
Handle a book as a bee does a flower, extract its sweetness but do not damage it.
John Muir

The Big Tree is Nature's forest masterpiece, and so far as I know, the greatest of living things.

Going into the woods, is going home
John Muir
Image
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.

In the woods is perpetual youth.
John Muir
Image
None of Nature's landscapes are ugly so long as they are wild.
John Muir

I never saw a discontented tree.
John Muir

I will follow my instincts, be myself for good or ill, and see what will be the upshot.
