In God's wildness lies the hope of the world — the great fresh, unblighted, unredeemed wilderness. The galling harness of civilization drops off, and wounds heal ere we are aware.

More from John Muir & related wisdom
He it is Who hath made the earth subservient unto you, so Walk in the paths thereof and eat of His providence. And unto Him will be the resurrection (of the dead).
I have not told half of what I saw.
Good company in a journey makes the way to seem the shorter.
They say travel broadens the mind; but you must have the mind.
I am a lucky man. I have had a dream and it has come true, and that is not a thing that happens often to men.
Every day is a journey, and the journey itself is home.
