More quotes by John Muir
I always enjoyed the hearty society of a snowstorm.
John Muir
Any fool can destroy trees. They cannot run away and if they could, they would still be destroyed-chased and hunted down as long as fun or a dollar could be got of their bark hides.
John Muir
I...am always glad to touch the living rock again and dip my hand in the high mountain air.
John Muir
The battle we have fought, and are still fighting for the forests is a part of the eternal conflict between right and wrong, and we cannot expect to see the end of it. …So we must count on watching and striving for these trees, and should always be glad to find anything so surely good and noble to strive for.
John Muir
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.
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
Wherever we go in the mountains, we find more than we seek.
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
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
I know that our bodies were made to thrive only in pure air, and the scenes in which pure air is found.
John Muir
Handle a book as a bee does a flower, extract its sweetness but do not damage it.
John Muir
I have enjoyed the trees & scenery of KY exceedingly. How shall I ever tell of the miles & miles of beauty that have been flowing into me in such measure?
John Muir
At the touch of this divine light, the mountains seemed to kindle to a rapt, religious consciousness, and stood hushed like devout worshippers waiting to be blessed.
John Muir
In the eternal youth of Nature, you may renew your own.
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
We all travel the Milky Way together, trees and men.
John Muir
God cannot save them from fools.
John Muir
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
In nothing does man, with his grand notions of heaven and charity, show forth his innate, low-bred, wild animalism more clearly than in his treatment of his brother beasts. From the shepherd with his lambs to the red-handed hunter, it is the same no recognition of rights - only murder in one form or another.
John Muir
No temple made with hands can compare with Yosemite.
