Winners are born, Champions are made.

Certainly dog driving is the most terrible work one has to face in this sort of business.

I have huge questions about Vision Appraisal - you bet I do. I'm very worried about what happens when we hand over our destiny to an outside company.

I can imagine few things more trying to the patience than the long wasted days of waiting.

I do no think human beings ever came through such a month as we have…We are weak, writing is difficult, but for my own sake I do not regret this journey, which has shown that Englishmen can endure hardships, help one another, and meet death with as great a fortitude as ever in the past.

Make the boy interested in natural history if you can it is better than games they encourage it in some schools.

The dog is almost human in its demand for living interest, yet fatally less than human in its inability to foresee.

I fear we have shot our bolt - but we have been to Pole and done the longest journey on record.

But take comfort in that I die at peace with the world and myself - not afraid.

To wait idly is the worst of conditions.

We are very near the end, but have not and will not lose our good cheer.

Jurors realize that instead of having to make that terrible decision (voting for the death penalty), they can vote to put someone in prison and ensure that defendant is no longer a harm to society. It makes it easier for them to return a verdict of life without the possibility of parole.

Every day some new fact comes to light - some new obstacle which threatens the gravest obstruction. I suppose this is the reason which makes the game so well worth playing.

Slowly but surely the sea is freezing over.

Had we lived, I should have had a tale to tell of the hardihood, endurance and courage of my companions which would have stirred the heart of every Englishman. These rough notes and our dead bodies must tell the tale, but surely, a great rich country like ours will see that those who are dependent on us are properly provided for.

Keep engaged in the all new popular and fancy, positive side of things!

We took risks. We knew we took them. Things have come out against us. We have no cause for complaint.

But if we have been willing to give our lives to this enterprise, which is for the honour of our country, I appeal to our countrymen to see that those who depend on us are properly cared for.
