Mastery is in constantly wanting to close the gap between where you are and where you want to be.

Success is a label that the world confers on you, but mastery is an ever-onward 'almost.'

We thrive not when we've done it all, but when we still have more to do.

Mastery is in the reaching, not in the arriving.

To reach an audacious goal, we sometimes benefit from having it lie just beyond our grasp.

Pain is not a punishment. And pleasure is not a reward. You could argue that failure is not punishment and Success is not reward. They're just failure and success. You can choose how you respond.

Play allows us to maintain curiosity while learning.

Coming close to what you thought you wanted can help you attain what you never dreamed you could.

The pursuit of mastery is an ever-onward almost.

Completion is a goal, but we hope it is never the end.

Unfortunately, you are far more likely to be harmed or die prematurely as a direct result of modern society than you are from any form of terrorism.

Outwardly I am 83, but inwardly I am every age, with the emotions and experience of each period.

The whole "misery loves company" thing never applies more than when you're breaking up. The thought that the other person is doing fine is simply too much to bear.

Probably fishing is my first passion.

The worst thing you can do is invest in companies you know nothing about. Unfortunately, buying stocks on ignorance is still a popular American pastime.

I like to choose compassion over judgment and curiosity over fear.
