More quotes by John Muir

Image
God never made an ugly landscape. All that sun shines on is beautiful, so long as it is wild.
John Muir
Image
I will follow my instincts, be myself for good or ill, and see what will be the upshot.
John Muir
Image
When we try to pick out anything by itself we find it hitched to everything else in the universe ... The whole wilderness is unity and interrelation, is alive and familiar, full of humanity. The very stones seem talkative, sympathetic, brotherly.
John Muir
Image
Rivers flow not past, but through us tingling, vibrating, exciting every cell and fiber in our bodies, making them sing and glide.
John Muir
Image
Wilderness is a necessity ... They will see what I meant in time. There must be places for human beings to satisfy their souls. Food and drink is not all. There is the spiritual. In some it is only a germ, of course, but the germ will grow.
John Muir
Image
None of Nature's landscapes are ugly so long as they are wild.

He had gone to the higher Sierras... [about Ralph Waldo Emerson's death]
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
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.
John Muir
Image
The most distinctive, and perhaps the most impressive, characteristic of American scenery is its wilderness.
John Muir
Image
Nature in her green, tranquil woods heals and soothes all afflictions.
John Muir
Image
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
Image
Look up and down and round about you.!
John Muir
Image
The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness.
John Muir
Image
Nature is ever at work building and pulling down, creating and destroying, keeping everything whirling and flowing, allowing no rest but in rhythmical motion, chasing everything in endless song out of one beautiful form into another.
John Muir
Image
No words will ever describe the exquisite beauty and charm of this mountain park – Nature’s landscape garden at once tenderly beautiful and sublime. No wonder it draws nature-lovers from all over the world.
John Muir
Image
One learns that the world, though made, is yet being made that this is still the morning of creation that mountains long conceived are now being born, channels traced for coming rivers, basins hollowed for lakes.
John Muir
Image
I wonder if leaves feel lonely when they see their neighbors falling?
John Muir
Image
Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.
John Muir
Image
It is a vast wilderness of rocks in a sea of light, colored and glowing like oak and maple in autumn, when the sun gold is richest
