Another glorious day, the air as delicious to the lungs as nectar to the tongue.
JOHN MUIRAnother glorious day, the air as delicious to the lungs as nectar to the tongue.
JOHN MUIRAs long as I live, I’ll hear waterfalls and birds and winds sing.
JOHN MUIRThe rivers flow not past, but through us, thrilling, tingling, vibrating every fiber and cell of the substance of our bodies, making them glide and sing.
JOHN MUIRNothing truly wild is unclean.
JOHN MUIRWander a whole summer if you can, time will not be taken from the sum of your life. Instead of shortening, it will definitely lengthen it and make you truly immortal.
JOHN MUIRNot blind opposition to progress,but opposition to blind progress.
JOHN MUIRBeauty beyond thought everywhere, beneath, above, made and being made forever.
JOHN MUIRFew places in this world are more dangerous than home.
JOHN MUIRMost people who travel look only at what they are directed to look at. Great is the power of the guidebook maker, however ignorant.
JOHN MUIRI care to live only to entice people to look at Nature’s loveliness.
JOHN MUIRIf people in general could be got into the woods, even for once, to hear the trees speak for themselves, all difficulties in the way of forest preservation would vanish.
JOHN MUIRWriting is like the life of a glacier; one eternal grind.
JOHN MUIRWho wouldn’t be a mountaineer! Up here all the world’s prizes seem nothing.
JOHN MUIRNothing truly wild is unclean.
JOHN MUIRAnd into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul.
JOHN MUIRBut we are governed more than we know, and most when we are wildest.
