“If you despise the mountains you have climbed, you are not welcomed by the mountains you have not yet climbed!”

“Learn well how to climb because you will come across with many hills and mountains in your short life!”

“Will you just stand on the foot of a high mountain and look at it with admiration or climb the top and be the admired itself? Remember that anybody can be an admirer; but the difficult thing is to be the admired one!”

“Always seek for balance in your life: If you stayed long in the darkness, walk long in the light; if you talked too much, stay silent for a good while; if you climbed the high mountains, hike long on the plains! Balance everything!”

“For an apple you can’t reach up and pick, you have to climb that tree; the tree won’t bend down for you!”

“In matters of climbing long staircases, how many stairs there are is not as important as how strong a will you have!”

“Before climbing the summits, you must first walk in the down valleys!”
