More quotes by John Muir
Of all the paths you take in life, make sure a few of them are dirt.
John Muir

John Muir
Come to the woods, for here is rest. There is no repose like that of the green deep woods. Here grow the wallflower and the violet. The squirrel will come and sit upon your knee, the logcock will wake you in the morning. Sleep in forgetfulness of all ill. Of all the upness accessible to mortals, there is no upness comparable to the mountains.
John Muir

Wilderness is a necessity... there must be places for human beings to satisfy their souls.
John Muir
…their eager, childlike attention was refreshing to see as compared with the decent, deathlike apathy of weary civilized people, in whom natural curiosity has been quenched in toil and care and poor, shallow comfort.
John Muir
...therefore all childish fear must be put away.
John Muir
Quench love, and what is left of a man's life but the folding of a few jointed bones and square inches of flesh? Who would call that life?
John Muir
Writing is like the life of a glacier one eternal grind.
John Muir
Books are but stepping stones to show you where other minds have been.
John Muir
Going to the mountains is going home.

We all travel the Milky Way together, trees and men.
