The man who removes a mountain begins by carrying away small stones

There are many paths to the top of the mountain, but the view is always the same

If you don’t scale the mountain, you can’t view the plain

You must scale the mountains if you would view the plain

Small ills are the fountains of most of our groans Men trip not on mountains, they stumble on stones

Rivers and mountains may change; human nature, never

Sit atop the mountain and watch the tigers fight

No matter how tall the mountain, it cannot block out the sun

Enough shovels of earth make a mountain, enough pails of water a river
