Life: participate with it, or be at the mercy of it.

We work to become,
not to acquire.

If you’re not making mistakes, you’re not pushing far enough.

The world cannot be discovered by a journey of miles, no matter how long, but only by a spiritual journey, a journey of one inch…by which we arrive at the ground at our feet,
and learn to be at home.
– Wendell Berry  

Courage is the price that life exacts for peace. –Amelia Earhardt

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
