[Philmont] Slogans

Ours in 2005 (not so much a slogan as a paraphrase from Del Gue in Jeremiah Johnson):

"I sez, Mother, the Rocky Mountains is the marrow of the world. By God, I was right! I might never see 'em, but my common sense tells me the Andes is foothills and the Alps is for children to climb. These HERE is God's finest sculpturing."

The group going next year has already decided to make this saying a 445 t-shirt tradition, so it will be repeated for the 2008 t-shirt.

I admire the creativity of some crews in creating a slogan or motto for
their experience, often displayed on a crew T shirt.

A couple that I (sort of) remember from last year (liberal paraphrases):

I hiked 'till my heart raced and my muscles burned,
And then I hiked some more.

-and-

Another day,
Another dozen miles,
Same socks.
