More quotes by William Shockley
Regret is unnecessary. Think before you act.
William Shockley
I am overwhelmed by an irresistible temptation to do my climb by moonlight and unroped. This is contrary to all my rock climbing teaching & does not mean poor training, but only a strong-headedness.
William Shockley

William Shockley
