“Life is like riding a bicycle, to keep your balance, you must keep moving.”
-Albert Einstein
“Research your own experiences for truth… Absorb what is useful… Add what is specifically your own… The creating individual is more than any style or system.”
-Bruce Lee
“If one advances confiedently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet success unexpected in common hours. He will put some things behind, will pass an insidible boundary; new, universal, and more liberal laws wil . begin to establish themselves around and within him.”
-Henry David Thoreau
“Childhood is full of mystery and promise, and perhaps the life fear comes when all the mysteries are laid open, when what we thought we wanted is attained. It is just at the moment of seeming fulfillment that we sense irrevocable betrayal, like a great wave rising silently behind us, and know most poignantly what Milarepa meant: ‘All worldly pursuits have but one unavoidable and inevitable end, which is sorrow; acquisitions end in dispersion; buildings in destruction; meetings in separation; births in death.’
Confronted by the uncouth specter of old age, disease, and death, we are thrown back upon the present, on this moment, here, right now, for that is all there is. And surely this is the paradise of children, that they are at rest in the present, like frogs or rabbits.”
-Peter Matthiesen
“Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt.”
-Shakespeare
