Robert Falcon Scott quotes
Robert Falcon Scott was a British Royal Navy officer and explorer, known for leading expeditions to Antarctica. His most famous journey was the Terra Nova Expedition, which aimed to reach the South Pole. He died during his return from the pole, becoming a symbol of courage and endurance in the face of adversity. Here are 35 of his quotes:
We arrived within 11 miles of our old One Ton Camp with fuel for one hot meal and food for two days. For four days we have been unable to leave the tent - the gale howling about us. 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. We took risks, we knew we took them; things have come out against us, and therefore we have no cause for complaint, but bow to the will of Providence, determined still to do our best to the last.
Robert Falcon Scott
self-assertion is a mask which covers many a weakness. As a rule we have neither the time nor the desire to look beneath it, and so it is that commonly we accept people on their own valuation. Here the outward show is nothing, it is the inward purpose that counts. So the gods dwindle and the humble supplant them. Pretence is useless.
