Pioneer Spirit Quotes

“We only know a tiny proportion about the complexity of the natural world. Wherever you look, there are still things we don’t know about and don’t understand. [...] There are always new things to find out if you go looking for them.”
― David Attenborough

“All I am saying is that sometimes you're doing quite a lot by not doing anything. You're not quitting. You just keep going. That's the pioneer spirit.”
― Rinker Buck, The Oregon Trail: A New American Journey

“So many things seem impossible until you try.”
― Wayne Gerard Trotman

“Visionaries know they can't scale intimidating dreamscapes in fear's strait-jacket. If they sail off the world's edge, it is in a freeman's glory, leaving a pioneering legacy unfettered by Luciferian coin. Those with ears turned by doubt remain the faceless crowd. It's truly remarkable how these labours of love, crafted by architects of the imagination and kissed as billets-doux into the world, continue to manifest and influence in ways they could never foresee.”
― Stewart Stafford
