"It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves." Sir Edmund Hillary
Sir Edmund Percival Hillary KG ONZ KBE (20 July 1919 – 11 January 2008) was a New Zealand mountaineer, explorer, and philanthropist.
On 29 May 1953, Hillary and Sherpa mountaineer Tenzing Norgay became the first climbers confirmed to have reached the summit of Mount Everest.
They were part of the ninth British expedition to Everest, led by John Hunt.
From 1985 to 1988 he served as New Zealand's High Commissioner to India and Bangladesh and concurrently as Ambassador to Nepal.
Edmund Hillary quotes
"It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves."
"No one remembers who climbed Mount Everest the second time."
"Human life is far more important than just getting to the top of a mountain."
"I am inclined to think that the realm of mythology is where the Yeti rightly belongs."
"When I was climbing, I built up a close relationship with the Sherpa people."
"On the summit of Everest, I had a feeling of great satisfaction to be first there."
"When you're climbing at high altitudes, life can get pretty miserable."
"Once I've decided to do something, I do usually try to carry it through to fruition."
"Life's a bit like mountaineering - never look down."
"I have never regarded myself as a hero, but Tenzing undoubtedly was."
Sir Edmund Hillary is celebrated as a truly great New Zealander whose accomplishments far belie his modest demeanor.
We celebrate the courage and bravery of this famous New Zealander and acknowledge the equality of effort and abilities of all the New Zealanders who provide the ongoing strength of our Nation.
