Yosemite Park is a place of rest, a refuge from the roar and dust and weary, nervous, wasting work of the lowlands, in which one gains the advantages of both solitude and society.

The power of imagination makes us infinite.

As long as I live, I'll hear waterfalls and birds and winds sing.

Of all the paths you take in life, make sure a few of them are dirt.

The grand show is eternal It is always sunrise somewhere

I’d rather be in the mountains thinking of God, than in church thinking about the mountains.

Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that going to the mountains is going home; that wildness is a necessity.

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.

In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.

God has cared for these trees, saved them from drought, disease, avalanches, and a thousand tempests and floods. But he cannot save them from fools.

Wilderness is a necessity... there must be places for human beings to satisfy their souls.

In a state of pseudo-death you restore your substance.

The body is a sacred garment.

Even though I'm on a show that I love with people that I love - I have basically the dream job - that doesn't mean I'm not getting rejected on a daily basis.

Options are good. Keeps people choosing.

I definitely invented the everything bagel. There's no doubt. It's undeniable truth. It's one of those things that's 100% true, 50% of the time.

If a guy doesn't work hard and doesn't play well, he can't lead anything. All he is, is a talker.

Richard Burton rang me up once and said, Do you know you're my only leading lady I've never slept with? I said, Well, please don't tell everybody, it's the worst image.

I hope I can always be counted on to get a hit or get a guy in-to be an even keel in the lineup.

Don't write about trying to change the world, just write about a changed world or a world that's not changing. Let that do the work.

Gratitude, in itself, is heaven.
