What a glorious greeting the sun gives the mountains
John Muir
Somewhere between the bottom of the climb and the summit is the answer to the mystery why we climb.
Greg Child
When the sun is shining I can do anything; no mountain is too high, no trouble too difficult to overcome.
Wilma Rudolph
Every man should pull a boat over a mountain once in his life
Werner Herzog
The mountains were his masters. They rimmed in life. They were the cup of reality, beyond growth, beyond struggle and death. They were his absolute unity in the midst of eternal change.
Thomas Wolfe
Accidents on big mountains happen when people’s ambitions cloud their good judgment. Good climbing is about climbing with heart and with instinct, not ambition and pride.
Bear Grylls
Mountains have a way of dealing with overconfidence
Hermann Buhl
Purposes, plans, and achievements of men may all disappear like a yon cloud upon the mountain’s summit; but, like the mountain itself, the things which are of God shall stand fast for ever and ever
Charles Spurgeon
