Reach the Heights

April 19, 2008 on 10:49 am | In General, Photography, This and That |

Some of us think we have mountains of time to reach the heights of our dreams. Some of us believe that there is no mountain or obstacle we can’t overcome. I look at a the word mountain, and words that immediately come to my mind are: peace, serenity, inspiring, spiritual, beautiful, awesome, nature’s wonder, pure loveliness, magical, mystical, commune with nature, relaxation, mountain retreat, and so many other words indicative of nature’s beauty.

Here are some quotes pertaining to mountains to ponder:

You can never conquer the mountain. You can only conquer yourself. James Whitaker

If you don’t scale the mountain, you can’t view the plain. Chinese Proverb

Never measure the height of a mountain until you have reached the top. Then you will see how low it was. Dag Hammarskjold

Today is your day! You mountain is waiting. So..get on your way. Dr. Seuss Quotations

Nobody climbs mountains for scientific reasons. Science is used to raise money for the expeditions, but you really climb for the hell of it. Edmund Hillary
