„Keď pohneme jednou jedinou vecou v prírode, zistíme, že je prepojená s celým zvyškom sveta.“

„Každý potrebuje krásu, rovnako ako chlieb, miesta, kde sa môže hrať a modliť sa, kde príroda môže liečiť a povzbudzovať a dávať silu telu i duši.“

John Muir

„Pri každej prechádzke prírodou človek nachádza oveľa viac, než hľadá.“

John Muir

„Ešte nikdy som nevidel nespokojný strom. Držia sa zeme, akoby sa im páčila, a hoci majú hlboké korene, prejdú asi toľko ako my. S každým vetrom sa potulujú do všetkých smerov, odchádzajú a prichádzajú ako my, cestujú s nami okolo slnka dva milióny míľ denne a cez vesmír nevedno ako rýchlo a ďaleko!“

John Muir

„Slnko nesvieti na nás, ale svieti v nás.“

John Muir: Citáty v angličtine

“Any fool can destroy trees. They cannot run away; and if they could, they would still be destroyed — chased and hunted down as long as fun or a dollar could be got out of their bark hides, branching horns, or magnificent bole backbones. Few that fell trees plant them; nor would planting avail much towards getting back anything like the noble primeval forests. … It took more than three thousand years to make some of the trees in these Western woods — trees that are still standing in perfect strength and beauty, waving and singing in the mighty forests of the Sierra. Through all the wonderful, eventful centuries … God has cared for these trees, saved them from drought, disease, avalanches, and a thousand straining, leveling tempests and floods; but he cannot save them from fools — only Uncle Sam can do that.”

“We all travel the milky way together, trees and men; but it never occurred to me until this storm-day, while swinging in the wind, that trees are travelers, in the ordinary sense. They make many journeys, not very extensive ones, it is true; but our own little comes and goes are only little more than tree-wavings — many of them not so much.”

“Accidents in the mountains are less common than in the lowlands, and these mountain mansions are decent, delightful, even divine, places to die in, compared with the doleful chambers of civilization. Few places in this world are more dangerous than home. Fear not, therefore, to try the mountain-passes. They will kill care, save you from deadly apathy, set you free, and call forth every faculty into vigorous, enthusiastic action. Even the sick should try these so-called dangerous passes, because for every unfortunate they kill, they cure a thousand.”
