"...remember that courage and strength are naught 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."
Edward Whymper 1871,
Scrambles Amongst the Alps.
I came across this quote from an article on Scrambles Amongst the Alps, a first hand account of Edward Whymper's life spent climbing the Alps.
Rated as one of National Geographic's adventure classics, this is one book I would like to get my hands on.
