We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations.

We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.

If you don't fail at least 90 percent of the time, you're not aiming high enough.

Positive thinking is powerful thinking. It will change your life.

We may have found a cure for most evils, but we have found no remedy for the worst of them all: the apathy of human beings.

If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross.
