“Mountains cannot be surmounted except by winding paths.”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
“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
“He who climbs upon the highest mountains laughs at all tragedies, real or imaginary.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“Faith, indeed, has up to the present not been able to move real mountains . . . But it can put mountains where there are none.”
“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
“In the mountains, the shortest way is from peak to peak: but for that you must have long legs”
“The mountains are calling and I must go.”
John Muir
