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 Quotes)
No right way is easy in this rough world. We must risk our lives to save them (John Muir Quotes)

... every sight and sound inspiring, leading one far out of himself, yet feeding and building up his individuality (John Muir Quotes)
God never made an ugly landscape. All that sun shines on is beautiful, so long as it is wild (John Muir Quotes)
One learns that the world, though made, is yet being made; that this is still the morning of creation; that mountains long conceived are now being born, channels traced for coming rivers, basins hollowed for lakes (John Muir Quotes)
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 Quotes)
What a psalm the storm was singing, and how fresh the smell of the washed earth and leaves, and how sweet the still small voices of the storm! (John Muir Quotes)
