Optimism Is The True Moral Courage

I Seemed To Vow To Myself That Some Day I Would Go To The Region Of Ice And Snow And Go On And On Till I Came To One Of The Poles Of The Earth, The End Of The Axis Upon Which This Great Round Ball Turns.

I Have Often Marveled At The Thin Line Which Separates Success From Failure.

Life To Me Is The Greatest Of All Games. The Danger Lies In Treating It As A Trivial Game, A Game To Be Taken Lightly, And A Game In Which The Rules Don't Matter Much. The Rules Matter A Great Deal. The Game Has To Be Played Fairly Or It Is No Game At All. And Even To Win The Game Is Not The Chief End. The Chief End Is To Win It Honorably And Splendidly.

Now My Eyes Are Turned From The South To The North, And I Want To Lead One More Expedition. This Will Be The Last... To The North Pole.

A Man Must Shape Himself To A New Mark Directly The Old One Goes To Ground.
