Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood.
A little talent is a good thing to have if you want to be a writer. But the only real requirement is the ability to remember every scar.
We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.
Our past experiences may have made us the way we are, but we don't have to stay that way.
Life is not just the passing of time. Life is the collection of experiences and their intensity.
Always choose attitude over experience. Always.
You will not experience all life has to offer you or begin to experience life at its fullest as long as you are satisfied with mediocrity. You have to be disgusted with your current circumstances before your circumstances can change.

We learn... 10% of what we read 20% of what we hear 30% of what we see 50% of what we both hear and see 70% of what is discussed 80% of what we experience personally 95% of what we teach to someone else
I don’t think there is any such thing as an ordinary mortal. Everybody has his own possibility of rapture in the experience of life.

And so - now - knowing all that you know from where you now stand, now what do you want? The answers are now coming forth to you. Go forth in joy, and get on with it.
Always walk through life as if you have something new to learn, and you will.
Life experience is priceless.
When we tell our own story, we teach the values that our choices reveal, not as abstract principals, but as our lived experience. We reveal the kind of person we are to the extent that we let others identify with us.
To fly in space is to see the reality of Earth, alone. The experience changed my life and my attitude toward life itself. I am one of the lucky ones.
Year's end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us.
The best ideas are the honest ones. Ones born out of personal experience. Ones that originated to help a few but ended up helping many.
