v Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the
life you have imagined.
v Our life is frittered away by detail... simplify,
simplify.
v Things do not change; we change.
v Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.
v The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.
v If you have built castles in the air, your work need not
be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.
v Aim above morality. Be not simply good, be good for
something.
v This world is but a canvas to our imagination.
v It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you
see.
v
As if you could kill time without injuring
eternity.
