Great things are done when men and mountains meet.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Mountains are like the great equalizer. It doesn't matter who anyone is or what they do.
How glorious a greeting the sun gives the mountains!
Bring me men to match my mountains: Bring me men to match my plains: Men with empires in their purpose and new eras in their brains.
It has happened to me to meet many of the men of my day whom the world agreed to call great.
Men climb mountains, scale heights, venture into the unexplored to prove to other men it can be done.
Men are fantastic - as a concept.
Men go abroad to wonder at the heights of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motions of the stars, and they pass by themselves without wondering.
The mountains seem to have conquered us long before we set foot on them, and they will remain long after our brief existence. This indomitable force of the mountains gives us humans a blank canvas on which to paint the drive of discovery and, in the process, test the limits of human performance.
Great men are like eagles, and build their nest on some lofty solitude.
The mountains are calling and I must go.
