The quote is from:
W. H. MURRAY, The Scottish Himalayan Expedition -
http://www.neexplorersclub.org/exprept.html
(within the site http://www.neexplorersclub.org - The New England Chapter of
the Explorers Club)
An easy(ish) way to find quote is to put it in a search engine as "Until one
is committed there is hesitancy" (with the speech marks!). I tried Yahoo!
and it returned 375 pages, most of which tell you said the quote and a few
tell you some background.
Hope this helps!
