Dagens Citat! Njuta!

"Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves"

John Muir 'Our National Parks' 1901


Det är väl detta det handlar om eller hur?!!

"It is not the critic that counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles. Or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement. And at worst, If he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."

— President Theodore Roosevelt, "The Man in the Arena", Paris, 1910
 
"Whatever degree of skill a skier may possess, he or she should never forget that their skills are after all only an instrument, a means through which he or she can enjoy the winter in all it's glory and ruggedness, can breath clean fresh air, can meet human beings in their true characcter, and can forget all the petty troubles which beset our so-called civilization.

These are a few of the reasons why skiing is not merely a sport - it is a way of life."

Otto Schniebs, Dartmouth University Ski Coach - 1936

"Dä ä bare å åk!
"De är inte lönt o förklara för en som inte begriper"

Och så min gamla fars favorit,
"Jag ger mig, jag som har rätt"
 
"What we get from this adventure is just sheer joy. And joy is, after all, the end of life. We don't live to eat and make money; we eat and make money to be able to enjoy life. That is what life means and what life is for."

-Georg Leigh Mallory

Som en författare sa en gång när han besökte min svenska, "Jag jobbar för att köpa mig tid för att sedan kunna njuta"
 
Citat

"You've got to give the mountains a bit of a chance!"
JHB Bell

Eller en från Byron's 'Manfred':

"Kebnekaise is a monarch of mountains,
They crowned him long ago,
On a throne of rocks, in a robe of clouds,
With a diadem of Snow."


"Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul alike."
John Muir 'The Yosemite' 1912
