Life's A Bit Like Mountaineering - Never

It's Not A Real Adventure When You Have To Pay For It.

I Have Been Seriously Afraid At Times But Have Used My Fear As A Stimulating Factor Rather Than Allowing It To Paralyse Me. My Abilities Have Not Been Outstanding, But I Have Had Sufficient Strength And Determination To Meet My Challenges And Have Usually Managed To Succeed With Them.

We Shared A Philosophy Together [with June Hillary]. We Believed Very Strongly In The Welfare Of Helping Other People, Particularly The Third World People.

It's Not The Moutain We Conquer But Ourselves.

June [hillary] Had Been Doing All These Things - The Himalayas And All The Rest Of It - So We Had Done Things Together For A Long Time, And, Particularly As Far As Our Sherpas Were Concerned, We Had A Very Sound, I Think, Philosophy. So That Made It Very Easy For Us To Agree On What Should Be Done.
