I love quotes too, Jeffrey. Here are some outdoor and nature-minded ones. The first is my favorite:

- Sir Rannulph Fiennes

"Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall."
- Confucius

"A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions."
- Oliver Wendell Holmes

"Find your space on the planet. Dig in, and take responsibility from there."
- Gary Snyder

"We can never have enough of Nature."
- Henry David Thoreau

"I rejoice that there are owls."
- Henry David Thoreau (that one's for my 3-year-old who loves owls)

"The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness."
— John Muir

"A vigorous five-mile walk will do more good for an unhappy but otherwise healthy adult than all the medicine and psychology in the world."
- Paul Dudley White

“A man does not climb a mountain without bringing some of it away with him, and leaving something of himself upon it."
- Sir Martin Conway

"We don't stop hiking because we grow old, we grow old because we stop hiking."
- Finis Mitchell

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
- Mark Twain
