I fear we have shot our bolt - but we have been to Pole and done the longest journey on record.

Certainly dog driving is the most terrible work one has to face in this sort of business.

I may not have proved a great explorer, but we have done the greatest march ever made and come very near to great success.

Hunger and fear are the only realities in dog life: an empty stomach makes a fierce dog.

Each man in his way is a treasure.

I fear we have shot our bolt - but we have been to Pole and done the longest journey on record.

But we have been to the Pole and we shall die like gentlemen. I regret only for the women we leave behind.
