The stimulus of competition, when applied at an early age to real thought processes, is injurious both to nerve-power and to scientific insight.

For nearly 11 years, now, we have been on this mission we call it, climbing Mt. Sustainability, a mountain higher than Everest, to meet at that point at the top that symbolizes zero footprint-zero environmental impact. Sustainable: taking nothing, doing no harm.

The only thing you'll find on the summit of Mount Everest is a divine view. The things that really matter lie far below.
Roland Smith

There is already a mountain of evidence that Saddam Hussein is gathering weapons for the purpose of using them. And adding additional information is like adding a foot to Mount Everest
Ari Fleischer

If it is a shame to be the second man on Mount Everest, then I will have to live with this shame.
Tenzing Norgay

On the summit of Everest, I had a feeling of great satisfaction to be first there.

- Why do you want to climb Mt. Everest, Sir? - Because it is there.
George Leigh Mallory

Mt. Everest of Earth is 8.8 km tall Mt. Olympus of Mars is 22 km tall. Every time you see a giant, you must know that that giant might be just a dwarf somewhere else!

Everest in his slippers. That's what he was like.
Alex Ferguson

It's all bullshit on Everest these days.
Edmund Hillary

The sheer volume of evidence for survival after death is so immense that to ignore it is like standing at the foot of Mount Everest and insisting that you cannot see the mountain.
Colin Wilson
Image
Everest has always been a magnet for kooks, publicity seekers, hopeless romantics and others with a shaky hold on reality.
Jon Krakauer
Image
I don't know what being an Everest guide means. I am a coach, not a guide.

Think about climbing a mountain. If you decide you're going up Everest, you don't start with a sprint. You'll never make it out of base camp if you do that. The secret is two fold: make sure your approach is consistent and steady so that you can maintain the progress you're making as your journey continues.
Georges St-Pierre

You can't call it an adventure unless it's tinged with danger. The greatest danger in life, though, is not taking the adventure at all. To have the objective of a life of ease is death. I think we've all got to go after our own Everest.
Brian Blessed

Everest wasn't like any other mountain. Only one of ten climbers who attempt the mountain stands on the summit. And for every three climbers who do scale the mountain, one dies trying. The facts aren't welcoming. But you don't plan a trip to Everest believing those facts will apply to you.

Why climb Mount Everest? Because it's there.
George Leigh Mallory
Image
The whole purpose of climbing something like Everest is to effect some sort of spiritual and physical gain. But if you compromise the process you’re an asshole when you start out and an asshole when you get back.
Yvon Chouinard

I needed to go . . . the pull of Everest was stronger for me than any force on earth.
Tenzing Norgay
Image
If you have a high-way on Everest, you don't meet the mountain. If everything is prepared, and you have a guide who is responsible for your security, you cannot meet the mountain. Meeting mountains is only possible if you . . . are out there in self-sufficiency.
Reinhold Messner
Image
A man may climb Everest for himself, but at the summit he plants his country's flag.
Margaret Thatcher
Image
I loved climbing because of the freedom, and having time and space. I remember coming off Everest for the last time, thinking of Dad and wishing that he could have seen what I saw. He would have loved it.
Bear Grylls
Image
Whether we athletes liked it or not, the 4-minute mile had become rather like an Everest: a challenge to the human spirit, it was a barrier that seemed to defy all attempts to break it, an irksome reminder that men's striving might be in vain.
Roger Bannister

Only dead mathematics can be taught where the attitude of competition prevails: living mathematics must always be a communal possession.
