By Endurance We Conquer.

If I Had Not Some Strength Of Will I Would Make A First Class Drunkard.

Difficulties Are Just Things To Overcome After All.

Men Wanted For Dangerous Expedition: Low Wages For Long Hours Of Arduous Labour Under Brutal Conditions; Months Of Continual Darkness And Extreme Cold; Great Risk To Life And Limb From Disease, Accidents And Other Hazards; Small Chance Of Fame In Case Of Success.

Now My Eyes Are Turned From The South To The North, And I Want To Lead One More Expedition. This Will Be The Last... To The North Pole.

From The Sentimental Point Of View, It Is The Last Great Polar Journey That Can Be Made.
