Do nothing in haste; look well to each step; and from the beginning think what may be the end.
Climb if you will, but remember that courage and strength are nought without prudence, and that a momentary negligence may destroy the happiness of a lifetime. Do nothing in haste; look well to each step; and from the beginning think what may be the end.
The thing to be wished for, is not that the mountains should become easier, but that men should become wiser and stronger.
