Even if you don't have all the things you want, be grateful for the things you don't have that you don't want (Bob Dylan's dad)

Although the masters make the rules for the wise men and the fools, I've got nothing, Ma, to live up to.

You can always come back, but you can't come back all the way.

Basically you have to suppress your own ambitions in order to be who you need to be.

Well the book of Leviticus and Deuteronomy, the law of the jungle and the sea are your only teachers.

You'll never be greater than yourself.

My love is like some raven at my window with a broken wing.
