In this life we get only those things for which we hunt, for which we strive, and for which we are willing to sacrifice.

What is more beautiful than a sea of water with a number of white-winged boats skirting its surface? Poetry and beauty contesting with the wind and the waves!

In this life we get only those things for which we hunt, for which we strive, and for which we are willing to sacrifice. It is better to aim for something that you want-even though you miss it-than to get something that you didn't aim to get, and which you don't want! If we look long enough for what we want in life we are almost sure to find it, no matter what that objective may be.

In this life we get only those things for which we hunt, for which we strive, and for which we are willing to sacrifice.

It's marvelous the change that comes about when a man gets together all his forces and centers them upon the doing of one thing at a time.
