Traveling is my form of self-education.

The hardest thing in the world is to simplify your life; it’s so easy to make it complex.

How you climb a mountain is more important than reaching the top

Real adventure is defined best as a journey from which you may not come back alive, and certainly not as the same person.

The whole purpose of an adventure is to gain some spiritual or emotional insight. When you compromise the process, you compromise the gain.

It's not an adventure until something goes wrong.

You ask me about the past, you ask me about the future, the only way to be happy is to be living right now.

To do good, you actually have to do something.

If you want to understand the entrepreneur, study the juvenile delinquent. The delinquent is saying with his actions, ‘This sucks, I’m going to do my own thing.’

We're a part of nature. As we destroy nature, we destroy ourselves. It's a selfish thing to want to protect nature.

Mastery... is to work toward simplicity; replace complex technology with knowledge, hard work, and skill.

And blue-lung'd combers lumbered to the kill.

I regret all the prayers that do not shed tears.

Writing is a difficult trade which must be learned slowly by reading great authors; by trying at the outset to imitate them; by daring then to be original; by destroying one's first productions.

Roads are made for horses and men of business. I do not travel in them much.

Mine is not an autonomous imagination.

The politics of the Cape Town Metro, which allows an executive Mayoral committee to make secret decisions which affect you, behind closed doors, is wrong!

No one in their right mind can say to me with a straight face that the Patriot Act has not aggregated the Fourth Amendment.

You will never live to my age without you keep yourselves in breath with exercise, and in heart with joyfulness.

I'm too intellectual. I don't think that the theological vocabulary is as important as the experience.
