"Climb the Mountains and Get Their Good Tidings"-John Muir

WE ARE JUST HUMBLE VISITORS IN THE PRESENCE OF NATURE. WE LEAVE FOOTPRINTS AND ECHOS, WHICH ARE MERE SPECKS AND FADING SOUNDS IN THE VASTNESS OF THE MOUNTAINS. WE COME WITH GREAT HOPES AND DREAMS, SOME OF WHICH WE SHARE WITH NATURE AND EACH OTHER, WHILE THE REST REMAIN HIDDEN. IN THE SCHEME OF THINGS, WE ARE MERE MORTALS, STRIVING FOR A PLACE IN THE SUN, WHILE THE MOUNTAINS LIVE ON.

Bernard I. Negrin
