'Over twenty years of rough seas, ropy reviews, and running expeditions, I have realized that there is only one thing that really matters, only one decision that has to be made, only one factor that can truly be controlled. That is your own attitude. You may be facing a mutinous team, wild seas, unco-operative animals, and a Champagne filming schedule with a Lucozade budget, but you can still control your attitude. It's the one choice you make when all else is beyond you.'
Monty Halls

'If you lose, don't lose the lesson.' Anon

'It is not the critic who counts, nor the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who knows great enthusiasm, great devotion and the triumph of achievement and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while doing greatly - so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat...' Anon
