More quotes by John Muir
Every atom in creation may be said to be acquainted with and married to every other, but with universal union there is a division sufficient in degree for the purposes of the most intense individuality.
John Muir
One can make a day of any size and regulate the rising and setting of his own sun and the brightness of its shining.
John Muir
We all flow from one fountain.
John Muir
Any fool can destroy trees. They cannot run away and if they could, they would still be destroyed-chased and hunted down as long as fun or a dollar could be got of their bark hides.
John Muir
Strange the faithless fuss made about taking a walk in the safest and pleasantest of all places, a wilderness.
John Muir
To ask me whether I could endure to live without friends is absurd. It is easy enough to live out of material sight of friends, but to live without human love is impossible.
John Muir
...every sight and sound inspiring, leading one far out of himself, yet feeding and building up his individuality.
John Muir
God has cared for these trees, saved them from drought, disease, avalanches, and a thousand tempests and floods. But he cannot save them from fools.
John Muir
I should study Nature's laws in all their crossings and unions I should follow magnetic streams to their source and follow the shores of our magnetic oceans. I should go among the rays of the aurora, and follow them to their beginnings, and study their dealings and communications with other powers and expressions of matter.
John Muir
Between every two pine trees there is a door leading to a new way of life.
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
Walk away quietly in any direction and taste the freedom of the mountaineer.
John Muir
None of Nature's landscapes are ugly so long as they are wild.
John Muir
Anyhow we never know where we must go, nor what guides we are to get - -people,storms, guardian angels, or sheep.
John Muir
In the eternal youth of Nature, you may renew your own.
John Muir
Come to the woods, for here is rest.
John Muir
Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.
John Muir
We all flow from one fountain- Soul. All are expressions of one love.
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
We are in the mountains and they are in us, kindling enthusiasm, making every nerve quiver, filling every pore and cell of us....How glorious a conversion, so complete and wholesome it is, scarce memory enough of old bondage days left as a standpoint to view it from! In this newness of life we seem to have been so always
John Muir
