More quotes by 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
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
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
Word lessons, in particular the wouldst couldst shouldst have loved kind, were kept up, with much warlike thrashing, until I had committed the whole of French, Latin, and English grammars to memory.
John Muir
The mountains are fountains of men as well as of rivers, of glaciers, of fertile soil. The great poets, philosophers, prophets, able men whose thoughts and deeds have moved the world, have come down from the mountains - mountain dwellers who have grown strong there with the forest trees in Nature's workshops.
John Muir
Every hidden cell is throbbing with music and life, every fiber thrilling like harp strings.
John Muir
He had gone to the higher Sierras... [about Ralph Waldo Emerson's death]
John Muir
Man is always and everywhere a blight on the landscape.
John Muir
Man and other civilized animals are the only creatures that ever become dirty.
John Muir
The most distinctive, and perhaps the most impressive, characteristic of American scenery is its wilderness.
John Muir
In the woods is perpetual youth.
John Muir
I know that our bodies were made to thrive only in pure air, and the scenes in which pure air is found.
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
We all flow from one fountain.
John Muir
Society doesn't need that everybody is behaving in the full normal way... like people in a Buddhist monastery... But eccentricity may also connect with the irrational.
John Muir
Our lives are rounded with a sleep.
John Muir
In God's wildness lies the hope of the world.
John Muir
The tide of visitors will float slowly about the bottom of the valley as harmless scum collecting in hotel and saloon eddies, leaving the rocks and falls eloquent as ever.
John Muir
Nature in her green, tranquil woods heals and soothes all afflictions.
John Muir
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
