More quotes by John Muir
Between every two pine trees there is a door leading to a new way of life.
John Muir
But to gain a perfect view, one must go yet further, over a curving brow to a slight shelf on the extreme brink.
John Muir
Government protection should be thrown around every wild grove and forest on the mountains, as it is around every private orchard, and the trees in public parks. To say nothing of their value as fountains of timber, they are worth infinitely more than all the gardens and parks of towns.
John Muir
We all flow from one fountain- Soul. All are expressions of one love.
John Muir
The power of imagination is infinite.
John Muir
We all flow from one fountain.
John Muir
How infinitely superior to our physical senses are those of the mind!
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
To ask me whether I could endure to live without friends is absurd. It is easy enough to live out of material sight of friends, but to live without human love is impossible.
John Muir
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
Going into the woods, is going home
John Muir
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
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
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
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
Earth has no sorrow that earth can not heal.
John Muir
In the beauty and grandeur of individual trees, and in number and variety of species, the Sierra forests surpass all others
John Muir
There is not a fragment in all nature, for every relative fragment of one thing is a full harmonious unit in itself.
John Muir
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
Of all the paths you take in life, make sure a few of them are dirt.
John Muir
