“When Mountains Are Gold.”
Carolyn Anderson
“Creating a new theory is not like destroying an old barn and erecting a skyscraper in its place. It is rather like climbing a mountain, gaining new and wider views, discovering unexpected connections between our starting points and its rich environment. But the point from which we started out still exists and can be seen, although it appears smaller and forms a tiny part of our broad view gained by the mastery of the obstacles on our adventurous way up.”
Albert Einstein
“If you wish to know the road up the mountain, ask the man who goes back and forth on it.”

“Most men will look up and just admire the stars, but a champion will climb a mountain and grab one.”
Anonymous
“Until the railroad came through in the 1880s, there used to be fire in the Jemez Mountains all the time. There were years the whole Jemez burned.”
Bill Armstrong
“Mountains are like women...you can work for months to get on top of one, yet they will kill you in a millisecond if you don't pay attention.”
Koolax
“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
“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
“What river can flood over the mountains of your love?”
Sorin Cerin
“To live only for some future goal is shallow. It's the sides of the mountain that sustain life, not the top.”
Robert M. Pirsig
