More quotes by John Muir

John Muir
One may as well dam for water tanks the people's cathedrals and churches, for no holier temple has ever been consecrated by the heart of man.
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
Earth has no sorrow that earth can not heal.
John Muir

John Muir
The power of imagination is infinite.
John Muir
Rivers flow not past, but through us tingling, vibrating, exciting every cell and fiber in our bodies, making them sing and glide.
John Muir
The grand show is eternal It is always sunrise somewhere
John Muir
Hiking. I don't like either the word or the thing. People ought to saunter in the mountains...the se mountains are our Holy Land, and we ought to saunter through them reverently, not 'hike' through them.
John Muir
John Muir, Earth-planet, Universe.
John Muir
Nature as a poet, an enthusiastic workingman, becomes more and more visible the farther and higher we go for the mountains are fountains – beginning places, however related to sources beyond mortal ken.
John Muir
Walk away quietly in any direction and taste the freedom of the mountaineer.
John Muir
Our lives are rounded with a sleep.
John Muir
The moon is looking down into the canyon, and how marvelously the great rocks kindle to her light! Every dome, and brow, and swelling boss touched by her white rays, glows as if lighted with snow.
