There Is Precious Little In

I Have No Desire To Live Anywhere Else But New Zealand. I've Had The Good Fortune To Travel Widely Around The World, But New Zealand Is Home - And I Like To Be Here. I'm Proud To Be A New Zealander.

I Don't Know If I Particularly Want To Be Remembered For Anything. I Personally Do Not Think I'm A Great Gift To The World. I've Been Very Fortunate.

If I'm Selecting A Group, The First Thing I Look For Is A Record Of Achievement . . . If (candidates Achieve) In Small Things, There's A Very Good Chance They'll Perform Well In Big Things.

If The Going Is Tough And The Pressure Is On, If The Reserves Of Strength Have Been Drained And The Summit Is Still Not In Sight, Then The Quality To Seek In The Person Is Neither Great Strength Nor Quickness Of Hand, But Rather A Resolute Mind Firmly Set On Its Purpose That Refuses To Let Its Body Slack Or Rest.

When I Was 50 Years Old, I Actually Decided To Draw Up A List Of Half A Dozen Things That I Really Hadn't Done Very Well, And I Was Going To Make Efforts To Improve. One Of Them Was Skiing, And I Really Did Become A Very Much Better Skier.
