If a man is ever to find out who he is and what he is here for, he has got to take that journey for himself. He has got to get his heart back.

Adventure, with all its requisite danger and wildness, is a deeply spiritual longing written into the soul of man.

It was men who stopped slavery. It was men who ran up the stairs in the Twin Towers to rescue people. It was men who gave up their seats on the lifeboats of the Titanic. Men are made to take risks and live passionately on behalf of others.

The true story of every person in this world is not the story you see, the external story. The true story of each person is the journey of his or her heart.

Every man carries a wound. I have never met a man without one. No matter how good your life may have seemed to you, you live in a broken world full of broken people.
