Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of Autumn.

When one can no longer see, one can at least still know.

You're off to Great Places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting, So... get on your way!
Climbing at altitude is like hitting your head against a brick wall - it's great when you stop.
