When man knows how to live dangerously, he is not afraid to die. When he is not afraid to die, he is, strangely, free to live. When he is free to live, he can become bold, courageous, self reliant. There are many ways to learn how to live dangerously. If the youth of the nation accept the challenge the mountains offer, they will help keep alive in our people the spirit of adventure. That spirit is a measure of the vitality of both nations and men. A people who climb the ridges and sleep under the stars in high mountain meadows, who enter the forest and scale the peaks, who explore glaciers and walk ridges buried deep in snow - these people give their country some of the indomitable spirit of the mountains.
WO Douglas
If the going is tough, and the pressure is on, if reserves of strength have been drained, and the summit is still not in sight; then the quality to see in a person is neither great strength nor quickness of hand, but rather a resolute mind firmly set on its purpose that refuses to let its body slacken or rest.
Sir Ernest Shackleton
Shun Je, Boo Pa, Yeng Dzu Why.
Mandarin - Body straight not scared shadow crooked. (The body that stays straight does not fear a crooked shadow - You are scared of what you can't see).
