back to the thread:
There have been joys too great to be described in words, and there have been griefs upon which I have
not dared to dwell; and with these in mind I say: Climb if you will, but remember that courage and
strength are naught without prudence, and that a momentary negligence may destroy the happiness of a
lifetime. Do nothing in haste; look well to each step; and from the beginning think what may be the end."
Edward Whymper, "Scrambles Amongst the Alps" - 1865
