"We have tried to conquer you and failed; we tried again and you beat us; but we shall beat you, for you cannot grow bigger, but we can."
Quoted by one of the team members of a group of mountain climbers who had attempted to climb Mount Everest before the first successful attempt in 1953 by Tenzing and Hilary.
