Quotes by Edmund Hillary

It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves.

Human life is far more important than just getting to the top of a mountain.

When you go to the mountains, you see them and you admire them. In a sense, they give you a challenge, and you try to express that challenge by climbing them.

People do not decide to become extraordinary. They decide to accomplish extraordinary things.

I think it all comes down to motivation. If you really want to do something, you will work hard for it.
