Remember that the most valuable antiques are dear old friends.

Grind it out. Hanging on just one second longer than your competition makes you the winner.

If your life is free of failures, you're not taking enough risks.

Watch the sunrise at least once a year, put a lot of marshmallows in your hot chocolate, lie on your back and look at the stars, never buy a coffee table you can't put your feet on, never pass up a chance to jump on a trampoline, don't overlook life's small joys while searching for the big ones.

Never resist a generous impulse.

Don't flaunt your success, but don't apologize for it either.

Every so often, let your spirit of adventure triumph over your good sense.
