Beschreibung | John Muir [ˈmjʊər] war ein schottisch-US-amerikanischer Naturphilosoph und Autodidakt. |
God has cared for these trees, saved them from drought, disease, avalanches, and a thousand tempests and floods. But he cannot save them from fools.
Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.
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 power of imagination makes us infinite.
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.
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.
How glorious a greeting the sun gives the mountains!
When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe.
