More quotes by John Muir

Image
The mountains are fountains not only of rivers and fertile soil, but of men.
John Muir
Image
My meals were easily made, for they were all alike and simple, only a cupful of tea and bread.
John Muir
Image
Keep close to Nature's heart... and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.
John Muir
Image
Only spread a fern-frond over a man's head and worldly cares are cast out, and freedom and beauty and peace come in.
John Muir
Image
It is always interesting to see people in dead earnest, from whatever cause, and earthquakes make everybody earnest.
John Muir
Image
Man has injured every animal he has touched.
John Muir
Image
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
Image
Any glimpse into the life of an animal quickens our own and makes it so much the larger and better in every way.
John Muir
Image
None of Nature's landscapes are ugly so long as they are wild.
John Muir
Image
Come to the woods, for here is rest.
John Muir
Image
Over the summit, I saw the so-called Mono desert lying dreamily silent in the thick, purple light -- a desert of heavy sun-glare beheld from a desert of ice-burnished granite.
John Muir
Image
Wherever we go in the mountains, we find more than we seek.
John Muir
Image
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
Image
Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.
John Muir
Image
When we contemplate the whole globe as one great dewdrop, striped and dotted with continents and islands, flying through space with other stars all singing and shining together as one, the whole universe appears as an infinite storm of beauty.
John Muir
Image
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
Image
In God's wildness lies the hope of the world.
John Muir
Image
Raindrops blossom brilliantly in the rainbow, and change to flowers in the sod, but snow comes in full flower direct from the dark, frozen sky.
John Muir
Image
Let children walk with Nature, let them see the beautiful blendings and communions of death and life, their joyous inseparable unity, as taught in woods and meadows, plains and mountains and streams of our blessed star, and they will learn that death is stingless indeed, and as beautiful as life.
