Quotes from John Muir

I’m turning this blog over to John Muir.  Enjoy.

"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 off like autumn leaves."

"Anyhow the terrors of the horrible place seldom lasted long beyond the telling; for natural faith casts out fear."

". . .Nature saw to it that besides school lessons and church lessons some of her own lessons should be learned . . ."

"How our young wondering eyes reveled in the sunny, breezy glory of the hills and the sky every particle of us thrilling and tingling with the bees and glad birds and glad streams.  Kings may be blessed; we were glorious, we were free, school cares and scoldings, hearth thrashings and flesh thrashings alike, were forgotten in the fullness of Nature’s glad wildness."

I could not agree more.

Pack out what you pack in.
