This quote has challenging origins but most likely belongs to businessman Abram Collier. Though his life revolved around business, he clearly saw fit to tip his cap to the challenges of the outdoors. Having achieved the highest levels of success as the CEO of a life insurance company, Collier clearly saw something in the challenges of the great outdoors. He recognized the true test of a whole person lies in the extremes the world has to offer. This is certainly correct and something we all ought to pursue to one degree or another.
