“Great things are done when men and mountains meet.”

“There are no great men, there are only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.”

“Really great things, when discussed by little men, can usually make such men grow big.”

“The better work men do is always done under stress and at great personal cost.”

“When men see Han-shanThey all say he's crazyAnd not much to look at -Dressed in rags and hides.They don't get what I sayAnd I don't talk their language.All I can say to those I meet:"Try and make it to Cold Mountain.”

“The greatness comes not when things go always good for you. But the greatness comes when you're really tested, when you take some knocks, some disappointments, when sadness comes. Because only if you've been in the deepest valley can you ever know how magnificent it is to be on the highest mountain.”
