“People struggling with life in a fallen world often want explanations when what they really need is imagination.”

“You have succeeded in life when all you really WANT is only what you really NEED.”

“You can tell people of the need to struggle, but when the powerless start to see that they really can make a difference, nothing can quench the fire.”

“Life is too short to waste time complainingDon't waste your time with explanations: people only hear what they want to hear”

“We often cause ourselves suffering by wanting only to live in a world of valleys, a world without struggle and difficulty, a world that is flat, plain, consistent.”

“A hatchling, that is what you are. A hatchling struggling into the world. I may be younger than you in years, but I am ancient in my thoughts. Do not worry about these things. Find peace in where and what you are. People often know what must be done. All you need to do is show them the way — that is wisdom.”
