More quotes by John Muir

There is that in the glance of a flower which may at times control the greatest of creation's braggart lords.

The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness.

The forests of America, however slighted by man, must have been a great delight to God; for they were the best he ever planted.

Our National Parks (1901)

The world, we are told, was made especially for man — a presumption not supported by all the facts.

No portion of the world is so barren as not to yield a rich and precious harvest of divine truth.
