Fridtjof Nansen

I demolish my bridges behind me - then there is no choice but forward.

Alas! Alas! Life is full of disappointments; as one reaches one ridge there is always another and a higher one beyond which blocks the view.

The difficult is what takes a little time; the impossible is what takes a little longer.

For me, skiing is a physical necessity. I have a need for risk.

You have the Roman Catholic Church, the Church of England, the Presbyterians, the Wesleyans, represented in each school, and they are each to take alternate days.

Before I die, I will preach to the Muslims in the Arab world. I will preach in Egypt, Lebanon, Syria and Iran. I will preach in Tehran. I will do it under the umbrella of God. And see its impact.
