“What are men to rocks and mountains?”
Jane Austen
“Society speaks and all men listen, mountains speak and wise men listen”
John Muir
“The experienced mountain climber is not intimidated by a mountain -- he is inspired by it. The persistent winner is not discouraged by a problem -- he is challenged by it. Mountains are created to be conquered; adversities are designed to be defeated; problems are sent to be solved. It is better to master one mountain than a thousand foothills.”
William Arthur Ward
“If you wait for the perfect moment when all is safe and assured, it may never arrive. Mountains will not be climbed, races won, or lasting happiness achieved.”
Maurice Chevalier
“Men trip not on mountains, they trip on molehills”
Chinese Proverbs
“From inaccessible mountain range by way of desert untrod by human foot to the ends of the unknown seas, the breath of the everlasting creative spirit is felt, rejoicing over every speck of dust that hearkens to it and lives”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
“Great things are done when men and mountains meet”
William Blake
