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.

  • 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.

  • In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.

  • 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.

  • The gross heathenism of civilization has generally destroyed nature, and poetry, and all that is spiritual.
