More quotes by John Muir

Image
How many hearts with warm, red blood in them are beating under cover of the woods, and how many teeth and eyes are shining? A multitude of animal people, intimately related to us, but of whose lives we know almost nothing, are as busy about their own affairs as we are about ours.
John Muir
Image
No Sierra landscape that I have seen holds anything truly dead or dull, or any trace of what in manufactories is called rubbish or waste everything is perfectly clean and pure and full of divine lessons.
John Muir
Image
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.
John Muir
Image
I know that our bodies were made to thrive only in pure air, and the scenes in which pure air is found.
John Muir
Image
Wherever we go in the mountains, we find more than we seek.
John Muir
Image
The substance of the winds is too thin for human eyes, their written language is too difficult for human minds, and their spoken language mostly too faint for the ears.
John Muir
Image
We all flow from one fountain- Soul. All are expressions of one love.
John Muir
Image
Go quietly alone, no harm will befall you.
John Muir
Image
I care to live only to entice people to look at Nature’s loveliness.
John Muir
Image
Nature in her green, tranquil woods heals and soothes all afflictions.
John Muir
Image
Few are altogether deaf to the preaching of pine trees. Their sermons on the mountains go to our hearts and if people in general could be got into the woods, even for once, to hear the trees speak for themselves, all difficulties in the way of forest preservation would vanish.
John Muir
Image
The forests of America, however slighted by man, must have been a great delight to God for they were the best he ever planted.
John Muir
Image
In God's wildness lies the hope of the world.
John Muir
Image
In the woods is perpetual youth.
John Muir
Image
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
Image
When a man plants a tree, he plants himself.
John Muir
Image
In the eternal youth of Nature, you may renew your own.
John Muir
Image
Listen to them! How wholly infused with God is this one big word of love that we call the world!
John Muir
Image
A lifetime is so little a time that we die before we get ready to live. I should like to study at a college, but then I have to say to myself: You will die before you can do anything else.
John Muir
Image
These beautiful days ... do not exist as mere pictures - maps hung upon the walls of memory to brighten at times when touched by association or will ... They saturate themselves into every part of the body and live always.
