how
to
continue,
whether
on
a
steep
mountain,
in
your
armchair
or
behind
your
desk.
But

the
rescue!

not
so
famous
people.

Motivational climbing quote 1:
"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately. To front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived." -- Henry David Thoreau.

Motivational climbing quote 2:
"If you're ever killed mountain climbing, then all that you've worked for is gone" -- Jim Whittaker.

Motivational climbing quote 3:
"They say miracles are past; and we have our philosophical persons, to make modern and familiar, things supernatural and causeless. Hence is it that we make trifles of terrors, ensconcing ourselves into seeming knowledge, when we should submit ourselves to an unknown fear." -- William Shakespeare, All's Well that Ends Well, Act II Scene III.

Motivational climbing quote 4:
"As a member of an escorted tour, you don't even have to know the Matterhorn isn't a tuba." -- Temple Fielding.

Motivational climbing quote 5:
"You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again. So why bother in the first place ? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know." -- René Daumal.
