I think that a good mountaineer is usually a sensible mountaineer.

It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves.

I will come again & conquer you because as a mountain you can't grow, but as a human, I can

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

With practice and focus, you can extend yourself far more than you ever believed possible.

Mount Everest, you beat me the first time, but I'll beat you the next time because you've grown all you are going to grow... but I'm still growing!

You don't have to be a hero to accomplish great things---to compete. You can just be an ordinary chap, sufficiently motivated to reach challenging goals.

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

Life's a bit like mountaineering - never look down.

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

Motivation is the single most important factor in any sort of success.

The first duty of a leader is to make himself be loved without courting love. To be loved without 'playing up' to anyone - even to himself.

I believe the stars can affect human lives, particularly by providing employment for thousands of astrologers.

Have faith in yourself and in the future.

People always say, "I don't mean to do this . . . ," and then they do it! If you don't mean to touch on something, then don't touch on it. That's how I feel.

Well-bred instinct meets reason halfway

Make it all about the work. Everything else will follow.

How can the poem and the stink and the grating noise - the quality of light, the tone, the habit and the dream - be set down alive?

As the saying goes not every conspiracy is a theory.

You can't kill Rock 'n' Roll. It's here to stay

I believe that our society is merely a reflection of what is going on inside each and every one of us.
