More quotes by John Muir
How glorious a greeting the sun gives the mountains! To behold this alone is worth the pains of any excursion a thousand times over. The highest peaks burned like islands in a sea of liquid shade. Then the lower peaks and spires caught the glow, and long lances of light, streaming through many a notch and pass, fell thick on the frozen meadows.
John Muir
John Muir, Earth-planet, Universe.
John Muir
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
All wilderness seems to be full of tricks and plans to drive and draw us up into God's light.
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
No words will ever describe the exquisite beauty and charm of this mountain park – Nature’s landscape garden at once tenderly beautiful and sublime. No wonder it draws nature-lovers from all over the world.
John Muir
Winds are advertisements of all they touch, however much or little we may be able to read them telling their wanderings even by their scents alone.
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
Come to the woods, for here is rest.
John Muir
I should study Nature's laws in all their crossings and unions I should follow magnetic streams to their source and follow the shores of our magnetic oceans. I should go among the rays of the aurora, and follow them to their beginnings, and study their dealings and communications with other powers and expressions of matter.
John Muir
The power of imagination makes us infinite.
John Muir
Anyhow we never know where we must go, nor what guides we are to get - -people,storms, guardian angels, or sheep.
John Muir
I always enjoyed the hearty society of a snowstorm.
John Muir
It is always interesting to see people in dead earnest, from whatever cause, and earthquakes make everybody earnest.
John Muir
Earth has no sorrow that earth can not heal.
John Muir
Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of Autumn.
John Muir
The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness.
John Muir
All Nature's wildness tells the same story: the shocks and outbursts of earthquakes, volcanoes, geysers, roaring, thundering waves and floods, the silent uprush of sap in plants, storms of every sort, each and all, are the orderly, beauty-making love-beats of Nature's heart.
John Muir
The world, we are told, was made especially for man - a presumption not supported by all the facts... Why should man value himself as more than a small part of the one great unit of creation?
John Muir
No temple made with hands can compare with Yosemite.
