You must never feel badly about making mistakes, as long as you learn from them.

Many of the things which can never be, often are.

Whatever we learn has a purpose and whatever we do affects everything and everyone else.

But it's not just learning that's important. It's learning what to do with what you learn and learning why you learn at all that matters.

You know that it's there, but you just don't know where - but just because you can never reach it doesn't mean that it's not worth looking for.

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

If you want sense, you'll have to make it yourself.

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

What you can do is often simply a matter of what you will do.

Why not? That's a good reason for almost anything - a bit used perhaps, but still quite serviceable.

Well, since you got here by not thinking, it seems reasonable to expect that, in order to get out, you must start thinking.

The way you see things depends a great deal on where you look at them from.
