Among all the nonsense, mistakes, and bad ideas we come up with, maybe some truth will sneak in.

The secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes.

Benjamin Disraeli

I travel without barely any luggage. Just a second set of underwear and binoculars and a map and a toothbrush.

Werner Herzog

He looked up and I realised how close we were, both of us leaning in together. I blinked a few times, suddenly light-headed, but not like before when I'd passed out.

Any nation that thinks more of its ease and comfort than its freedom will soon lose its freedom; and the ironical thing about it is that it will lose its ease and comfort too.

W. Somerset Maugham

Pearl Buck

The fact is we can only love what we know personally. And we cannot know much.

E. M. Forster

Your opinion is not my reality.

Steve Maraboli

A man is rich in proportion to the number of things he can let alone.

Henry David Thoreau, Walden

My parents and my grandfather on my mom's side would travel the earth. They went to Australia and China, and they went to probably every soccer game I ever played.

Brandi Chastain

I'm not retiring. I am graduating. Today is my graduation day. Retirement means that you'll just go ahead and live on your laurels and surf all day in Oceanside. It ain't going to happen.

Junior Seau

Dreams seem to have a will of their own.

Henry Reed

Only after disaster can we be resurrected. It's only after you've lost everything that you're free to do anything. Nothing is static, everything is evolving, everything is falling apart.

Chuck Palahniuk
