“Stay true to the dreams of thy youth.”

I love to sail forbidden seas, and land on barbarous coasts.

Is there some principal of nature which states that we never know the quality of what we have until it is gone?

There is one knows not what sweet mystery about this sea, whose gently awful stirrings seem to speak of some hidden soul beneath.

To produce a mighty book, you must choose a mighty theme.

I’ll try a pagan friend, thought I, since Christian kindness has proved but hollow courtesy.

What is an atheist, but one who does not, or will not, see in the universe a ruling principle of love; and what a misanthrope, but one who does not, or will not, see in man a ruling principle of kindness?

An utterly fearless man is a far more dangerous comrade than a coward.

Think not, is my eleventh commandment; and sleep when you can, is my twelfth.

Dream big don’t let anybody or anything break your wishbone. Stay strong, full of faith, and courageous. Keep that backbone straight. And along the way, don’t forget to laugh and enjoy the journey.

When the world is too much create your own. I do it every day.

I like my soul when it touches yours; winter turns to summer and my nightmares become dreams.

If your habits don’t line up with your dream, then you need to either change your habits or change your dream.

The dreams I chased took me on a journey, a journey more rewarding than the goals.

My period days didn’t make me falter: they made me more determined to pursue my dreams.

I’m living the exact life I planned on living when I was five.

Study hard. Work hard. Play harder. Don’t be bound by rules, don’t hurt anybody and never ever live somebody else’s dream.
