“Great things are done when men and mountains meet; This is not done by jostling in the street”
William Blake
“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
“Great things are done when men and mountains meet”
“Men trip not on mountains, they trip on molehills”
Chinese Proverbs
“What are men to rocks and mountains?”
Jane Austen
