“Contained exhilaration is not nearly as exciting as its release…accept challenge! What excitement do you have to share with the world?”

“If many of our young people have lost the excitement of the early settlers, who had a country to explore and develop, it is because no one remembers to tell them that the world has never been so challenging, so exciting... Perhaps the older generation is often to blame with its cautious warning: “Take a job that will give you security, not adventure.” But I say to the young: “Do not stop thinking of life as an adventure. You have no security unless you can live bravely, excitingly, and imaginatively; unless you can choose a challenge instead of a competence.”

“Accept the challenges so that you can feel the exhilaration of victory.”

“Set a goal to achieve something that is so big, so exhilarating that it excites you and scares you at the same time.”

“Do not stop thinking of life as an adventure. You have no security unless you can live bravely, excitingly, imaginatively; unless you can choose a challenge instead of competence.”

“And really, it wasn’t much good having anything exciting like floods, if you couldn’t share them with somebody.”
