You can't get there by bus, only by hard work and risk and by not quite knowing what you're doing. What you'll discover will be wonderful. What you'll discover will be yourself.

Alan Alda

We have to do with the past only as we can make it useful to the present and the future.

Frederick Douglas

You cannot change what you are, only what you do.

Philip Pullman

Enjoy every step you take. If you're curious, there is always something new to be discovered in the backdrop of your daily life.

Roy T. Bennett

Whatever makes you uncomfortable is your biggest opportunity for growth.

Bryant H. McGill

Sadness gives depth. Happiness gives height. Sadness gives roots. Happiness gives branches. Happiness is like a tree going into the sky, and sadness is like the roots going down into the womb of the earth. Both are needed, and the higher a tree goes, the deeper it goes, simultaneously. The bigger the tree, the bigger will be its roots. In fact, it is always in proportion. That's its balance.
