The exact wording is “In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.” This quote is attributed to John Muir and is sourced from his writing “Mormon Lilies.” According to the Sierra Club version, it appears in the context of “Steep Trails, Chapter 9, Mormon Lilies” (with an original phrasing noting “one receives far more than they seek”)[3]. The libquotes page confirms the quote and adds that it originally appeared in the San Francisco Daily Evening Bulletin (part 4 of the “Notes from Utah” series) dated July 1877 and was later reprinted in Steep Trails (Chapter IX)[4].
