More quotes by John Muir
In God's wildness lies the hope of the world.
John Muir
The Big Tree is Nature's forest masterpiece, and so far as I know, the greatest of living things.
John Muir
What is worthwhile in life? I think it is worth living and dreaming. If you don't you may be dead anyhow - inside.
John Muir
This grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere the dew is never dried all at once a shower is forever falling vapor is ever rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls.
John Muir
Nature is ever at work building and pulling down, creating and destroying, keeping everything whirling and flowing, allowing no rest but in rhythmical motion, chasing everything in endless song out of one beautiful form into another.
John Muir
The mountains are fountains of men as well as of rivers, of glaciers, of fertile soil. The great poets, philosophers, prophets, able men whose thoughts and deeds have moved the world, have come down from the mountains - mountain dwellers who have grown strong there with the forest trees in Nature's workshops.
John Muir
A few minutes ago every tree was excited, bowing to the roaring storm, waving, swirling, tossing their branches in glorious enthusiasm like worship. But though to the outer ear these trees are now silent, their songs never cease.
John Muir
We are in the mountains and they are in us, kindling enthusiasm, making every nerve quiver, filling every pore and cell of us....How glorious a conversion, so complete and wholesome it is, scarce memory enough of old bondage days left as a standpoint to view it from! In this newness of life we seem to have been so always
John Muir
Strange the faithless fuss made about taking a walk in the safest and pleasantest of all places, a wilderness.
John Muir
The power of imagination is infinite.
John Muir
There is no estimating the wit and wisdom concealed and latent in our lower fellow mortals until made manifest by profound experiences for it is through suffering that dogs as well as saints are developed and made perfect.
John Muir
Every hidden cell is throbbing with music and life, every fiber thrilling like harp strings.
John Muir
Nature in her green, tranquil woods heals and soothes all afflictions.
John Muir
Hiking. I don't like either the word or the thing. People ought to saunter in the mountains...the se mountains are our Holy Land, and we ought to saunter through them reverently, not 'hike' through them.
John Muir
Not blind opposition to progress,but opposition to blind progress.
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
I never saw a discontented tree.
John Muir
We all flow from one fountain.
John Muir
Going to the woods is going home, for I suppose we came from the woods originally.
John Muir
All wilderness seems to be full of tricks and plans to drive and draw us up into God's light.
John Muir
