A little pure wildness is the one great present want, both of men and sheep (John Muir Quotes)
In this silent, serene wilderness the weary can gain a heart-bath in perfect peace (John Muir Quotes)
The most distinctive, and perhaps the most impressive, characteristic of American scenery is its wilderness (John Muir Quotes)
You know that I have not lagged behind in the work of exploring our grand wilderness, and in calling everybody to come and enjoy the thousand blessings they have to offer (John Muir Quotes)
So also there are tides and floods in the affairs of men, which in some are slight and may be kept within bounds, but in others they overmaster everything (John Muir Quotes)
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 Quotes)
Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out going to the mountains is going home; that wilderness is a necessity (John Muir Quotes)
There is a love of wild nature in everybody, an ancient mother-love showing itself whether recognized or no, and however covered by cares and duties (John Muir Quotes)
We all travel the milky way together, trees and men; but it never occurred to me until this storm-day, while swinging in the wind, that trees are travelers in the ordinary sense. They make many journeys, not extensive ones, it is true; but our own little journeys, away and back again, are only little more than tree-wavings - many of them not so much (John Muir Quotes)
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 Quotes)
I was a few miles south of Louisville when I planned my journey. I spread out my map under a tree and made up my mind to go through Kentucky, Tennessee, and Georgia to Florida, thence to Cuba, thence to some part of South America; but it will be only a hasty walk. I am thankful, however, for so much (John Muir Quotes)
In God’s wildness lies the hope of the world-the great fresh unblighted, unredeemed wilderness. The galling harness of civilization drops off, and wounds heal ere we are aware (John Muir Quotes)
He had gone to the higher Sierras... [about Ralph Waldo Emerson’s death] (John Muir Quotes)
Yosemite Park... None can escape its charms. Its natural beauty cleans and warms like a fire, and you will be willing to stay forever in one place like a tree (John Muir Quotes)
They tell us that plants are not like man immortal, but are perishable-soul -less. I think that is something that we know exactly nothing about (John Muir Quotes)
The radiance in some places is so great as to be fairly dazzling... every crystal, every flower a window opening into heaven, a mirror reflecting the Creator (John Muir Quotes)
Listen to them! How wholly infused with God is this one big word of love that we call the world! (John Muir Quotes)
So extraordinary is Nature with her choicest treasures, spending plant beauty as she spends sunshine, pouring it forth into land and sea, garden and desert. And so the beauty of lilies falls on angels and men, bears and squirrels, wolves and sheep, birds and bees (John Muir Quotes)
See how God writes history. No technical knowledge is required; only a calm day and a calm mind (John Muir Quotes)
I’ve had a great time in South America and South Africa. Indeed it now seems that on this pair of wild hot continents I’ve enjoyed the most fruitful year of my life (John Muir Quotes)
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 Quotes)
Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that going to the mountains is going home; that wildness is a necessity (John Muir Quotes)
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 Quotes)
Nature had gathered her choicest treasures , to draw her lovers into close and confiding communion with her (John Muir Quotes)
Few are altogether deaf to the preaching of pine trees. Their sermons on the mountains go to our hearts . . . (John Muir Quotes)
...full of God’s thoughts, a place of peace and safety amid the most exalted grandeur and enthusiastic action, a new song, a place of beginnings abounding in first lessons of life, mountain building, eternal, invincible, unbreakable order; with sermons in stone, storms, trees, flowers, and animals brimful with humanity. (John Muir Quotes)
Wilderness is a necessity ... They will see what I meant in time. There must be places for human beings to satisfy their souls. Food and drink is not all. There is the spiritual. In some it is only a germ, of course, but the germ will grow. (John Muir Quotes)
The world’s big and I want to have a good look at it before it gets dark (John Muir Quotes)
When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe (John Muir Quotes)
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. Every hidden cell is throbbing with music and life, every fiber thrilling like harp strings, while incense is ever flowing from the balsam bells and leaves. No wonder the hills and groves were God's first temples, and the more they are cut down and hewn into cathedrals and churches, the farther off and dimmer seems the Lord himself (John Muir Quotes)
