Famous quotes containing the words climbing and/or skill:
“To be seventy years old is like climbing the Alps. You reach a snow-crowned summit, and see behind you the deep valley stretching miles and miles away, and before you other summits higher and whiter, which you may have strength to climb, or may not. Then you sit down and meditate and wonder which it will be.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)
“A little skill in antiquity inclines a man to Popery. But depth in that study brings him about again to our religion.”
