Famous quotes containing the word climb:
“I climb to the tower-top and lean upon broken stone,
A mist that is like blown snow is sweeping over all,
Valley, river, and elms, under the light of a moon
That seems unlike itself, that seems unchangeable,
A glittering sword out of the east.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“Follow in the footsteps of your fathers’ virtue! How could you hope to climb high unless your fathers’ will climbs with you?”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“They climb the mountain like beasts, stupid and sweating; it seems that no one bothered to tell them that there are beautiful vistas along the way.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
