The Grand Gendarme is a minor summit on the Weisshorn north ridge in the Pennine Alps. Because of its small prominence it was included in the enlarged list of alpine four-thousanders.
Famous quotes containing the word grand:
“The great object of Education should be commensurate with the object of life. It should be a moral one; to teach self-trust: to inspire the youthful man with an interest in himself; with a curiosity touching his own nature; to acquaint him with the resources of his mind, and to teach him that there is all his strength, and to inflame him with a piety towards the Grand Mind in which he lives. Thus would education conspire with the Divine Providence.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
