As you go through life, you've got to see the valleys as well as the peaks.

Over every mountain there is a path, although it may not be seen from the valley.

Only if you have been in the deepest valley, can you ever know how magnificent it is to be on the highest mountain.

The few wonders of the world only exist while there are those with the sight to see them.

A friend who is far away is sometimes much nearer than one who is at hand. Is not the mountain far more awe-inspiring and more clearly visible to one passing through the valley than to those who inhabit the mountain?

In Iceland, you can see the contours of the mountains wherever you go, and the swell of the hills, and always beyond that the horizon. And there's this strange thing: you're never sort of hidden; you always feel exposed in that landscape. But it makes it very beautiful as well.

Every great achievement is but a small peak in the mountain range of contributions.

We've climbed the mighty mountain. I see the valley below, and it's a valley of peace.

If you look across the valley, you can see exactly what I mean: about four beautiful houses, and you think something is happening in each of them. It's like a mural.

After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb.
