Some Day I'm Going To Climb Everest.

Despite All I Have Seen And Experiences, I Still Get The Same Thrill Out Of Glimpsing A Tiny Patch Of Snow In A High Mountain Gully And Feel The Same Urge To Climb Toward It.

I Have Discovered That Even The Mediocre Can Have Adventures And Even The Fearful Can Achieve.

Motivation Is The Single Most Important Factor In Any Sort Of Success.

If I'm Selecting A Group, The First Thing I Look For Is A Record Of Achievement . . . If (candidates Achieve) In Small Things, There's A Very Good Chance They'll Perform Well In Big Things.

I Think The Whole Attitude Towards Climbing Mount Everest Has Become Rather Horrifying. The People Just Want To Get To The Top. They Don't Give A Damn For Anybody Else Who May Be In Distress And It Doesn't Impress Me At All That They Leave Someone Lying Under A Rock To Die.
