I hear and I forget.

I see and I remember.

I do and I understand.

-Chinese Proverb

“There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.”

William Shakespeare

“Our greatest happiness in life does not depend on the condition of life in which chance has placed us, but is always the result of good conscience, good health, occupation and freedom in all just pursuits.”

Thomas Jefferson

“Remember that not getting what you want, is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.”

Dalai Lama

“Believe nothing just because a so-called wise person said it. Believe nothing just because a belief is generally held. Believe nothing just because it is said in ancient books. Believe nothing just because it is said to be of divine origin. Believe nothing just because someone else believes it. Believe only what you yourself test and judge to be true.”

Buddha

“Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risks.”

“I feel my boots trying to leave the ground, I feel my heart pumping hard. I want to think again of dangerous and noble things. I want to be light and frolicsome. I want to be improbable beautiful and afraid of nothing, as though I had wings.”
-Mary Oliver
