In this modern world where activity is stressed almost to the point of mania, quietness as a childhood need is too often overlooked. Yet a child's need for quietness is the same today as it has always been--it may even be greater--for quietness is an essential part of all awareness. In quiet times and sleepy times a child can dwell in thoughts of his own, and in songs and stories of his own.

Margaret Wise Brown

The most important thing is to be strong. With strength, one can conquer others, and to conquer others gives one virtue.

And you will conquer, I am more than sure of this.

Eleftherios Venizelos

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

By the accident of fortune a man may rule the world for a time, but by virtue of love and kindness he may rule the world forever.

Laozi

Though thousand times a thousand in battle one may conquer, yet should one conquer just oneself, one is the greatest conqueror.

Gautama Buddha

The mainstream audience has a certain picture of what climbing is all about: man conquering mountain. But you can't conquer a mountain, though it may conquer you.
