I've always liked John Muir.  He has many quotables, but here's my current
favorite:

Walk quietly away in any direction...
Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.
Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees,
the winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their
energies, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.

Kinda hits home for me, being a hiker and atmospheric scientist!
