Here's the quote:
It's been a long, hard climb and you have to meet every challenge. You have found the hidden foot-holds and hand-holds of your spirit and you have discovered the landscape that is yourself. Where did you get the courage, the strength, the determination? Have they always been there, lying dormant within you, waiting only to be challenged?
And with that source of quit, inner strength you have found and conquered your own serpents. Never again will you be ruled by self-doubt, fear, or any of those dragons that haunt the darker reaches of the human heart. You are now the master of that realm.
So go ahead. Claim your prize...you've earned it.
But the true reward is not the jewel, it's the climb.

I'm trying to find the author for a friend, he found the quote when he was in grade school and the passage has stuck with him ever since.
Can you help?
