The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Robert Falcon Scott
- Every day some new fact comes to light – some new obstacle which threatens the gravest obstruction. I suppose this is the reason which makes the game so well worth playing.
- We took risks. We knew we took them. Things have come out against us. We have no cause for complaint.
- I may not have proved a great explorer, but we have done the greatest march ever made and come very near to great success.
- We are very near the end, but have not and will not lose our good cheer.
- I have come to the conclusion that life in the Antarctic Regions can be very pleasant.
- Had we lived, I should have had a tale to tell of the hardihood, endurance and courage of my companions which would have stirred the heart of every Englishman. These rough notes and our dead bodies must tell the tale, but surely, a great rich country like ours will see that those who are dependent on us are properly provided for.
- But we have been to the Pole and we shall die like gentlemen. I regret only for the women we leave behind.
- I do no think human beings ever came through such a month as we have…We are weak, writing is difficult, but for my own sake I do not regret this journey, which has shown that Englishmen can endure hardships, help one another, and meet death with as great a fortitude as ever in the past.
- As one looks across the barren stretches of the pack, it is sometimes difficult to realise what teeming life exists immediately beneath its surface.
- It seems a pity, but I do not think that I can write more. For God’s sake look after our people.
Robert Falcon Scott, born on June 6, 1868, in Devonport, England, was a distinguished British Royal Navy officer and explorer known for his Antarctic expeditions. Scott’s first expedition, the Discovery Expedition (1901-1904), charted extensive portions of the Antarctic coastline and conducted significant scientific research.
He is most famous for leading the ill-fated Terra Nova Expedition (1910-1913) in a race to the South Pole. Scott and his team reached the South Pole on January 17, 1912, only to discover they had been beaten by Roald Amundsen’s Norwegian team by 34 days. Tragically, Scott and his four companions perished on the return journey due to extreme weather conditions, exhaustion, and lack of supplies.
Despite the failure, Scott’s expeditions provided valuable scientific data and left a legacy of courage and determination. He died on March 29, 1912, and is remembered as a symbol of heroic endurance in the face of adversity.
