What Quote would you have put to this?

[J A Byrdlip]

This is the picture that I had an idea that I needed a good quote. The one posted was:

""Know where to find the sunrise and sunset times and note how the sky looks at those times, at least once.""
--Marilyn vos Savant

What I had in mind, as Lord of the Rings had been on TV, was something about burning mountains, glory of adventure and a mythical feel to it.

Anyone have any ideas? Sorry, no prizes.

TIA

O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!

God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

Thank you all for the great quotes. Thank you, too, in case I missed your name on the reply buttons.
There are three or four quotes that would work with this photo, the Tolkien, Buddha and Ingersoll work the best for me. Not to say that any of the other quotes wouldn't work. Photography is such an individual activity and time plays such a part, that all the quotes would work at some point in time.

Thank you all.
