Our passions are true phoenixes; as the old burn out the new straight rise up from the ashes.

If we examine every stage of our lives, we find that from our first breath to our last we are under the constraint of circumstances. And yet we still possess the greatest of all freedoms, the power of developing our innermost selves in harmony with the moral order of the universe, and so winning peace of heart whatever obstacles we meet.

The highest goal that man can achieve is amazement.

If I accept you as you are, I will make you worse; however, if I treat you as though you are what you are capable of becoming, I help you become that.

Once I blazed across the sky, Leaving trails of flame; I fell to earth, and here I lie - Who'll help me up again? -A Shooting Star

Mountains cannot be surmounted except by winding paths.

Whoever aspiring, struggles on, for him there is salvation.
