"Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom." -- General George S. Patton.


Motivational climbing quote 3:

"The world is a better place to live in because it contains human beings who will give up ease and security in order to do what they themselves think worth doing. They do the useless, brave, noble, divinely foolish, and the very wisest things that are done by Man. And what they prove to themselves and to others is that Man is no mere creature of his habits, no automaton in his routine, but that in the dust of which he is made there is also fire, lighted now and then by great winds from the sky." -- Walter Lippmann, journalist.

People know that when he undertakes a thing, the battle is half won, for his rule is to accomplish whatever he sets out to do." -- Orison Swett Marden (1850-1924, American Author, Founder of Success Magazine)


Motivational climbing quote 5:

Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do." -- Goethe
