Expect everything, I always say, and the unexpected never happens.

The most important reason for going from one place to another is to see what's in between, and they took great pleasure in doing just that.

Time is a gift, given to you, given to give you the time you need, the time you need to have the time of your life.

The only thing you can do easily is be wrong, and that's hardly worth the effort.

So many things are possible just as long as you don't know they're impossible.

You must never feel badly about making mistakes ... as long as you take the trouble to learn from them. For you often learn more by being wrong for the right reasons than you do by being right for the wrong reasons.

Whether or not you find your own way, you're bound to find some way. If you happen to find my way, please return it, as it was lost years ago. I imagine by now it's quite rusty.

Everybody is so terribly sensitive about the things they know best.

You can swim all day in the Sea of Knowledge and not get wet.

It's bad enough wasting time without killing it.

Things which are equally bad are also equally good. Try to look at the bright side of things.

But just because you can never reach it, doesn’t mean that it’s not worth looking for.

There are no wrong roads to anywhere.

. . . I'll continue to see things as a child. It's not so far to fall.
