Relevant quotes:

I am new to the blogging scene, so for want of something with which to begin my posts, will start with some of my favourite quotes, and ones which I have been noting down whilst reading various motivational/adventure/travel books (namely Bear Grylls' 'Facing Up' and 'Facing The Frozen Ocean' amongst others)....
I will add to these quotes regularly, they are each relevant to The Everest Test itself, or to the team involved:

‘Great things happen when men and mountains meet’.
Blake, 18th Century

'All men dream, but not equally- those that dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act upon their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible’.
T.E. Lawrence, Seven Pillars of Wisdom

'There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve- the fear of failing'.
The Alchemist

'Small opportunities are often the beginning of great enterprises'.
Demosthenes, Athenian Statesman
