“My life is a very simple life thank you”

“The point of life was to press on, to do the best you can, to make the world a better place.”

“Time is something that fills the empty spaces of life”

“Life was such a strange thing, so permanent when one had it, so fleeting when it was lost- and those who lost it could never tell you what it was like, could they?”

“Fix your eyes forward on what you can do, not back on what you cannot change.”

“Colleges typically did not tell you that ninety percent of your education came after you hung the parchment on the wall. People might ask for a rebate.”

“Success is a finished book, a stack of pages each of which is filled with words. If you reach that point, you have won a victory over yourself no less impressive than sailing single-handed around the world. ”
