We hope you can draw inspiration from here and apply it in your own unique way. "There are no limits. There are plateaus, but you must not stay there, you must go beyond them. A man must constantly exceed his level."
-Bruce Lee (The Art of Expressing the Human Body, 1998) "Mountains are the means, the man is the end. The goal is not to reach the tops of mountains, but to improve the man."
-Walter Bonatti, Italian climber "I pass obstacles here, I pass obstacles in life."
-Laurent Piemontsi "The sea's only gifts are harsh blows, and occasionally the chance to feel strong. Now I don't know much about the sea, but I do know that that's the way it is here. And I also know how important it is in life not necessarily to be strong but to feel strong. To measure yourself at least once. To find yourself at least once in the most ancient of human conditions. Facing the blind death stone alone, with nothing to help you but your hands and your own head."
-Christopher McCandless, Into the Wild "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing."
-George Bernard Shaw "Without knowledge, skill cannot be focused. Without skill, strength cannot be brought to bear, and without strength, knowledge may not be applied."
-Alexander the Great's Chief Physician "Mind over matter, mind over mind."
-Unknown "Life is made of obstacles and challenges. To overcome them is to progress."
- Sebastien Foucan “One thing I sometimes fear is people taking themselves too seriously. They bark orders at one another about their grasp and understanding of the purity behind what it is we should be doing. But without the freedom of movement, without the creativity of innovative navigation, parkour is simply exercise, a means of burning calories. I guess the bottom line is, if you are not having fun, then what is the point?"
- Eric “gameyy” Terry (“Fun”, June, 2005) "I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."
-Michael Jordan "Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional."
-Unknown "Find out what you're afraid of and go live there."
-Chuck Palahniuk
