At last, the answer why. The lesson that had been so hard to find, so difficult to learn, came quick and clear and simple. The reason for problems is to overcome them. Why, that’s the very nature of man, I thought, to press past limits, to prove his freedom. It isn’t the challenge that faces us, that determines who we are and what we are becoming, but the way we meet the challenge, whether we toss a match at the wreck or work our way through it, step by step, to freedom.

Whatever enchants also guides and protects.

Reputation is what people think you are. Character is who you really are. Take care of your character and your reputation will take care of itself. The more I want to get something done, the less I call it work.

The river delights to lift us free, if only we dare let go.

Any powerful idea is absolutely fascinating and absolutely useless until we choose to use it.

It’s not when you start that makes your success in the world, but when you quit.

Testing ourselves over and again, learning love and love and LOVE!
