John Muir Quote
‘Were trees mere mechanical sculptures what noble objects they would be! How much more throbbing, thrilling, overflowing, full of life in every fibre and cell, grand glowing silver rods- the very Gods of the plant kingdom, living their sublime centaury in sight of heaven, watched and loved and admired from generation to generation.’ John Muir Fact John Muir won first prize at the Madison state fair for his whittled wooden clocks. John Muir Quote ‘Always fond of flowers, attracted by their external beauty and purity. Now my eyes were opened to their inner beauty.’ John Muir Quote ‘Indian people walk softly and hurt the landscape hardly more than the birds and squirrels, and their brush and bark huts last hardly longer than those of wood rats.’ John Muir Quote ‘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 Fact
John Muir would live in the outdoors for weeks at a time cooking his own bread and brewing teas. John Muir Quote
Just bread and water and delightful toil is all I need - not unreasonably much, yet one ought to be trained and tempered to enjoy life in these brave wilds in full independence of any particular kind of nourishment. John Muir Fact John Muir walked a 1000-mile trek cataloguing all the plants he found for he realised after temporally losing his sight how vital it was to enjoy nature. John Muir Quote 'So extravagant is nature with her choicest treasures, spending plant beauty as spends sunshine, pouring it forth into land and sea, garden and desert. And so the beauty of lilies falls on angels and men, bears and squirrels. wolves and sheep, birds and bees...’ John Muir Quote ‘Drinking this champagne water is pure pleasure, so is breathing the living air, and every movement of the limbs is pleasure, while the whole body seems to feel beauty when exposed to it....’ John Muir Fact John Muir survived outdoors with just his tweed jacket, axe and washing line for climbing in some of the most dangerous terrains in the world. |
