John Muir (1838–1914) is celebrated as a pioneer of American conservation. A Scottish-born naturalist, he founded the Sierra Club in 1892 and was instrumental in creating national parks like Yosemite and Sequoia. His writing and walking expeditions greatly inspired the modern environmental movement
When we contemplate the whole globe as one great dewdrop, striped and dotted with continents and islands, flying through space with other stars all singing and shining together as one, the whole universe appears as an infinite storm of beauty.

In God's wildness lies the hope of the world -- the great fresh, unblighted, unredeemed wilderness.

A brother once opined:
“The mountains are calling, and I must go.”
But for me,
it is the people I most hoe.
They are thirsty.
And need some drink.
And I —
half-full or half-empty,
depending on the day —
still poor, I think.
