I was timid and frightened as a child. Yours truly did not shin up mountains or do any other kind of adventurous stuff.
Kate Adie

I would like to explore and see this country. I have had so many opportunities to see it from the air! I would like to climb the mountains that I wished I could climb at the time but had to get back to Washington.
Janet Reno

I would like to thank the people who encouraged me to draw army cartoons at a time when the gag man's conception of the army was one of mean ole sergeants and jeeps which jump over mountains.
Bill Mauldin

I'm a grandmother with dogs and nice friends here in the Rocky mountains. Ever see the movie A River Runs Through It? That's where I live. It's beautiful, no two ways about it.
Margot Kidder

I'm here in the mountains, in the foothills of the Catskills.
Rick Danko

I'm not Candide, nor Dr Pangloss, but we know that faith moves mountains.
Daniel Libeskind

If I have someone who believes in me, I can move mountains.
Diana Ross

If you wait for the perfect moment when all is safe and assured, it may never arrive. Mountains will not be climbed, races won, or lasting happiness achieved.
Maurice Chevalier

In the presence of eternity, the mountains are as transient as the clouds.
Robert Green Ingersoll

It is said that many children who live in the central provinces, away from the ocean, have a great longing to see it. I who had never been away from the monotonous country surrounding us looked forward eagerly to seeing the mountains.
Pierre Loti

It isn't the mountains ahead to climb that wear you out; it's the pebble in your shoe.
Muhammad Ali

It was night and I could see a large and calm lake, reflecting the moon. Black mountains rose around it. I arrived from between two of these mountains, I looked at the lake and the moon, and that was it, nothing else happened.
Georges Simenon

It's about the pleasure of being in the mountains, traveling efficiently over the terrain, having that sense of dynamic motion which you don't get when you're on foot.
Michael Kennedy

It's wonderful to be back. Back among the mountains that remind us of our vulnerability, our ultimate lack of control over the world we live in. Mountains that demand humility, and yield so much peace in return.
Alex Lowe

It's wonderful to climb the liquid mountains of the sky. Behind me and before me is God and I have no fears.
Helen Keller

Kill the snake of doubt in your soul, crush the worms of fear in your heart and mountains will move out of your way.
Kate Seredy

Marty Robbins once sang you give me a mountain, I've been given a few mountains in my life.
David Allan Coe

May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds.
Edward Abbey

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.
Saint Augustine

Men stumble over pebbles, never over mountains.
