The manservant's words echoed in his Master's mind and when he finally conquered the biggest thing in the world, the words were there, waiting for him. The Master repeated them, altering them slightly, "It's not the mountain we conquer but ourselves."
The manservant said to his Master "It's all in your head Sir. Once you tell yourself it's got to be done, you'll do it." He said this because his Master had the weight of the world on his shoulders. He had started something, something big, the biggest thing in the world, in fact, and he was now doubting himself.

Thanks Pamela. I was thinking about the origin of quotes and who gets the glory for them.

Forget the quotes, I need to know what was the biggest thing in the world the Master had to conquer. Did he climb Mount Everest?
