John Muir Short Life Quotations

The blessings of one mountain day, whatever his fate, long life, short life, stormy or calm, he is rich forever.

Oh, these vast, calm, measureless mountain days, inciting at once to work and rest! Days in whose light everything seems equally divine, opening a thousand windows to show us God. Nevermore, however weary, should one faint by the way who gains the blessings of one mountain day; whatever his fate, long life, short life, stormy or calm, he is rich forever.
