Bukan gunung yang kita taklukkan, tetapi diri kita sendiri. - Edmund Hillary

Bukan gunung yang kita taklukkan, tapi diri kita sendiri.

I don't know if I particularly want to be remembered for anything. I have enjoyed great satisfaction from my climb of Everest and my trips to the poles. But there's no doubt, either, that my most worthwhile things have been the building of schools and medical clinics. That has given me more satisfaction than a footprint on a mountain.

I became a Hindu. I was very close to the Hindu ethic. It was a great spiritual experience. ... I believe a man can make his own destiny through his work and effort.
