"Learning is finding out what you already know. Doing is demonstrating that you know it. Teaching is reminding others that they know just as well as you. You are all learners, doers, teachers."

"Your friends will know you better in the first minute you meet than your acquaintances will know you in a thousand years."
"You are led through your lifetime by the inner learning creature, the playful spiritual being that is your self. Don't turn away from possible futures before you're certain you don't have anything to learn from them. You're always free to change your mind and choose a different future and a different past."
"There is no such thing as a problem without a gift for you in its hands. You seek problems because you need their gifts."

"A cloud does not know why it moves in just such a way, in just such a direction and at such a speed. It feels an impulsion...this is the place to go now. But the sky knows the reasons and the patterns behind all clouds, and you will know, too, when you lift yourself high enough to see beyond horizons."
"You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it true. You may have to work for it, however."
"Every person, all the events of your life are there because you have drawn them there. What you choose to do with them is up to you."
[Richard Bach]
"I went to the woods
Because I wanted to live deliberately
I wanted to live deep
And suck out all the marrow of life
To put to rest all that was not life
And not when I came to die
Discover that I had not lived."
[H. D. Thoreau]
"'I can't do' has done nothing
'I will try' has wrought wonders"
"We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars."
[Oscar Wilde]
