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.

More quotes by John Muir
Our lives are rounded with a sleep.
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
Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.
John Muir
All the world was before me and every day was a holiday, so it did not seem important to which one of the world's wildernesses I first should wander.
John Muir
Walk away quietly in any direction and taste the freedom of the mountaineer.
John Muir
My meals were easily made, for they were all alike and simple, only a cupful of tea and bread.
John Muir
Earth has no sorrow that earth can not heal.
John Muir
What a psalm the storm was singing, and how fresh the smell of the washed earth and leaves, and how sweet the still small voices of the storm!
John Muir
God cannot save them from fools.
John Muir
Another glorious Sierra day in which one seems to be dissolved and absorbed and sent pulsing onward we know not where. Life seems neither long nor short, and we take no more heed to save time or make haste than do the trees and stars. This is true freedom, a good practical sort of immortality.
John Muir
We all flow from one fountain- Soul. All are expressions of one love.
John Muir
The world, we are told, was made especially for man - a presumption not supported by all the facts... Why should man value himself as more than a small part of the one great unit of creation?
John Muir
The United States government has always been proud of the welcome it has extended to good men of every nation, seeking freedom and homes and bread.
John Muir
Every hidden cell is throbbing with music and life, every fiber thrilling like harp strings.
John Muir
Going into the woods, is going home
John Muir
A few minutes ago every tree was excited, bowing to the roaring storm, waving, swirling, tossing their branches in glorious enthusiasm like worship. But though to the outer ear these trees are now silent, their songs never cease.
John Muir
Wherever a Scotsman goes, here goes Burns. His grand whole, catholic soul squares with the good of all therefore we find him in everything, everywhere.
John Muir
Writing is like the life of a glacier one eternal grind.
John Muir
Come to the woods, for here is rest.
John Muir
Ink cannot tell the glow that lights me at this moment in turning to the mountains. I feel strong [enough] to leap Yosemite walls at a bound.
