If you live a life of make-believe, your life isn't worth anything until you do something that does challenge your reality. And to me, sailing the open ocean is a real challenge, because it's life or death.

Live as if your were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

Mahatma Gandhi

It will free man from his remaining chains, the chains of gravity which still tie him to this planet. It will open to him the gates of heaven.

What gets us into trouble is not what we don't know. It's what we know for sure that just ain't so.

Mark Twain

Do it now! can affect every phase of your life. It can help you do the things you should do but don't feel like doing. It can keep you from procrastinating when an unpleasant duty faces you. But it can also help you do those things that you want to do. It helps you seize those precious moments that, if lost, may never be retrieved.

Napoleon Hill

Occurrences in this domain are beyond the reach of exact prediction because of the variety of factors in operation, not because of any lack of order in nature.

Here are the values that I stand for: honesty, equality, kindness, compassion, treating people the way you want to be treated and helping those in need. To me, those are traditional values.

Ellen DeGeneres

What you seek, exists within you. Every resource you need is available to you.

Marcia Wieder

As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so a life well spent brings happy death.

Leonardo da Vinci
