Clouds come and go, the mountain remains.

Meeta Ahluwalia, Indian Author

There will always be constants in your life, your mountains, that provide the bedrock of your beliefs and support. Sometimes the clouds may obscure your view of the mountains. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t still there watching over you.

Unknown

Anything that’s human is mentionable, and anything that is mentionable can be more manageable. When we can talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary.

Fred Rogers

Your present circumstances don’t determine where you go; they merely determine where you start.

Nido Qubein

I like the mountains because they make me feel small. They help me sort out what’s important in life.

Mark Obmascik

All mountain landscapes hold stories: the ones we read, the ones we dream, and the ones we create.

Michael Kennedy

Don’t pay attention to the size of the mountain in front of you. Rather, think about what the view from the summit is going to be like.
