Mine is not really a quote but it's from my favorite song.....
"Your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you She tied you To a kitchen chair She broke your throne, she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah"

That what you persist in doing becomes easier to do, not because the nature of the thing has changed but your ability to do so has increased.

Not really a poetic quote, but something I'll remember for a very long time. A bit of history to this "Quote". I used to spend time climbing with Ron Olevsky in the desert southwest. One day Ron brought a postcard he had just recieved to the store that I work. He had recieved it 2 weeks after the fateful day. It reads as follows:
Hey Ron- Greetings from Mount Everest. All is going well. Pete and Klev are doing great. We expect to summit on May 7 or so. This Mt. Everest is a big hill. Don't let anybody tell you different.
Stay in touch
Scott
The postcard has a picture taken by Scott Fischer in 1994
