Quotes About Journey

I don't think you can take a whole genre of very popular books and say, "This is all trash!"

But there is much you can do to prepare for that journey. An engagement is not just a time of preparation for a wedding, but also preparation for a marriage.

To realize that one is really alone, gives new courage to the person. Discovery of truth is a journey, a voyage on which one has to launch alone. You cannot impose the inquiry of truth in the heart of your partner. You cannot compel your partner to have the same intensity or the same depth of inquiry.

I believe that.

Instead, find you in the journey now.

For all great innovations, someone took a risk. They risked capital; they risked their energy; they risked their opportunity cost; and more important, they risked failure.

A fast-moving world demands innovation for long-term success.

We must begin to risk trusting a whole new level of intimacy with ourselves, life and the people whose lives we touch.
