Great things are done when men and mountains meet;
This is not done by jostling in the street.

Great things are done when men and mountains meet.

Men do not stumble over mountains, but over molehills.

Men do not stumble over mountains, but over molehills

Men may move mountains, but ideas move men.

There are believers who by God's grace, have climbed the mountains of full assurance and near communion, their place is with the eagle in his eyrie, high aloft; they are like the strong mountaineer, who has trodden the virgin snow, who has breathed the fresh, free air of the Alpine regions, and therefore his sinews are braced, and his limbs are vigorous; these are they who do great exploits, being mighty men, men of renown.

The mountains are fountains of men as well as of rivers, of glaciers, of fertile soil. The great poets, philosophers, prophets, able men whose thoughts and deeds have moved the world, have come down from the mountains — mountain-dwellers who have grown strong there with the forest trees in Nature's workshops.

Adieu to disappointment and spleen. What are men to rocks and mountains?

What are men to rocks and mountains?

Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.

The mountains are where God proves He’s better than Michelangelo at sculpting.

The heights by great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight, but they, while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night.

It’s not by strength or speed or swiftness of body that great deeds are done, but by wisdom, character, and sober judgment.

Better sit still, men say, than rise to fall.
