RE: Quote for the Day!
I believe that at every level of society -- familial,
tribal, national and international -- the key to a
happier and more successful world is the
growth of compassion. We do not need to
become religious, nor do we need to believe in
an ideology. All that is necessary is for each of
us to develop our good human qualities.

I try to treat whoever I meet as an old friend.
This gives me a genuine feeling of happiness. It is the time to help create a happier world.

RE: Quote for the Day!
"As to when I shall visit civilization, it will not be soon, I think I have not tired of the wilderness; rather I enjoy it's beauty and the vagrant life I lead, more keenly all the time. I prefer the saddle to the street car and the star-sprinkled sky to a roof, the obscure and difficult trail, leading into the unknown, to any paved highway, and the deep peace of the wild to the discontent bred by cities. Do you blame me then for staying here, where I feel that I belong and am one with the world around me? it is true that I miss intelligent companionship, but there are so few whom I can share the things that mean so much to me that I have learned to contain myself. It is enough that I am surrounded by beauty..."

To the primal wonders
No road can ever lead,
for they are not so won.
To know them you shall
leave road and roof behind,
you shall go light and spare.
You shall win them yourself
in sun, sweat, rain, and laughter,
with only a few companions

RE: Quote for the Day!
"Climbing is not a battle with the elements, nor against the law of gravity; it's a battle against oneself.

Strong emotion is what the climber lives for. Fear and joy are the two strongest of all. The climber who feels no fear is very unlucky, for this means that he is simply unfeeling altogether. If he can't feel fear, he certainly can't feel the sublime joy of victory.

It is to conquer fear that one becomes a climber. The climber experiences life to its extreme limits. A climber is not a crazy man. He is not trying to get himself killed. He knows what life is worth. He is in love with living."

"...Nature, whose sweet rains fall of just and unjust alike, will have clefts in the rocks where I may hide, and secret valleys in whose silence I may weep undetected. She will hang the night with stars so that I may walk abroad in the darkness without stumbling, and send the wind over my footprints so that none may track me to my hurt: she will cleanse me in great waters, and with bitter herbs make me whole..."
