Fridtjof Nansen 1861–1930
Norwegian polar explorer

Never stop because you are afraid—you are never so likely to be wrong. Never keep a line of retreat: it is a wretched invention. The difficult is what takes a little time; the impossible is what takes a little longer.
in Listener 14 December 1939; see Calonne, Anonymous
