Welcome evermore to gods and men is the self-helping man.

Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

A man's growth is seen in the successive choirs of his friends.

When a man is pushed, tormented, defeated, he has a chance to learn something.

Beauty without expression tires.

Nature always wears the colors of the spirit.

Life Is a Journey, Not a Destination.

Every sunset brings the promise of a new dawn

No matter how hard they try, they'll never create anything so perfectly beautiful as what plays out in my own imagination.

I can not bear to see such woes of the heart in the eyes of my beloved.

Love what you do...Don't settle

I want to become acutely aware of all I've taken for granted.

Life should serve up its feast of experience in a series of courses.
