More quotes by John Muir
Going to the mountains is going home.
John Muir
I am hopelessly and forever a mountaineer.
John Muir
There is a love of wild nature in everybody, an ancient mother-love showing itself whether recognized or no, and however covered by cares and duties
John Muir
Who publishes the sheet-music of the winds or the music of water written in river-lines?
John Muir
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
Take a course in good water and air and in the eternal youth of Nature you may renew your own. Go quietly, alone no harm will befall you.
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
What is worthwhile in life? I think it is worth living and dreaming. If you don't you may be dead anyhow - inside.
John Muir
The water in music the oar forsakes. The air in music the wing forsakes. All things in move in music and write it. The mouse, lizard, and grasshopper sing together on the Turlock sands, sing with the morning stars.
John Muir
I care to live only to entice people to look at Nature’s loveliness.
John Muir
The wrongs done to trees, wrongs of every sort, are done in the darkness of ignorance and unbelief, for when the light comes, the heart of the people is always right.
John Muir
Most people who travel look only at what they are directed to look at. Great is the power of the guidebook maker, however ignorant.
John Muir
How narrow we selfish conceited creatures are in our sympathies! How blind to the rights of all the rest of creation!
John Muir
Books are but stepping stones to show you where other minds have been.
John Muir
Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.
John Muir
No wonder the hills and groves were God's first temples, and the more they are cut down and hewn into cathedrals and churches, the farther off and dimmer seems the Lord himself.
John Muir
The world is big and I want to have a good look at it before it gets dark.
John Muir
We all flow from one fountain- Soul. All are expressions of one love.
John Muir
I always enjoyed the hearty society of a snowstorm.
John Muir
In God's wildness lies the hope of the world.
John Muir
