No one remembers who climbed Mount Everest the second time.
Edmund Hillary
On the summit of Everest, I had a feeling of great satisfaction to be first there.
If it is a shame to be the second man on Mount Everest, then I will have to live with this shame.
Tenzing Norgay
If I know I make this much trouble, I never climb Everest.
Not to be too grandiose about it, but in a way I see myself like Sir Edmund Hillary. The water was my Everest.
Lewis Gordon Pugh
I respect Everest very much.
