Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.
John Muir
Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul.
John Muir
In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.
John Muir
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
Take a course in good water and air; and in the eternal youth of Nature you may renew your own. Go quietly, alone; no harm will befall you.
John Muir
The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness.
John Muir
When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe.
