“There's a myth that mountains protect you,”
Steve Nelson
“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
“There are many paths to the top of the mountain, but the view is always the same”
Chinese Proverbs
“Faith, indeed, has up to the present not been able to move real mountains . . . But it can put mountains where there are none.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“He who climbs upon the highest mountains laughs at all tragedies, real or imaginary.”
“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”
