Peacehunter I am trying to understand your point.  Pain is a gift that has been given to help us recognise change.  It is not a master but a messenger.

He is wise who knows the sources of knowledge - who knows who has written and where it is to be found.

(In 1903) The most important fundamental laws and facts of physical science have all been discovered, and these are now so firmly established that the possibility of their ever being supplemented in consequence of new discoveries is exceedingly remote.

Come, come, come. Without a monster or two it's not a quest, merely a gaggle of friends wandering about.

The pleasure of risk is in the control needed to ride it with assurance so that what appears dangerous to the outsider is, to the participant, simply a matter of intelligence, skill, intuition, coordination - in a word, experience. Climbing, in particular, is a paradoxically intellectual pastime, but with this difference: you have to think with your body. Every move has to be worked out in terms of effort, balance and consequences. It is like playing chess with your body. If I make a mistake, the consequences are immediate, obvious, embarrassing and possibly painful. For a brief period, I am directly responsible for my actions. In that beautiful, silent world of the mountains, it seems to me worth a little risk.

Winning has a joy and discrete purity to it that cannot be replaced by anything else.

Your motive in working should be to set others, by your example, on the path of duty.

There was an old Fellow of Trinity, A Doctor well versed in Divinity; But he took to free-thinking, And then to deep drinking, And so had to leave the vicinity.

Give me a land of boughs in leaf,
A land of trees that stand;
Where trees are fallen there is grief;
I love no leafless land.

Responsibility for the creation of the good world in which the good life may be realized, which the frustrated ages of the past loaded upon the gods, is now being assumed by man. The ideal of this modern drift is the realization of the full joy in living.

The Largest Rewards in Business go to Those Who TAKE THE RISKS . . . HERE'S TO YOUR SUCCESS! The enthusiastics, to those who are not, are always something of a trial.
