Be the greatest of who you were meant to be. Life goes on ferociously-with or without you. It is your choice. Truly and magnificently your choice.
There are hard days to live. You awake to a day when you feel you've done it all before, and you're going to do it again, so why do it at all.

A good man lives for the joy in life and the happiness of being alive, not shackled to the wants of the future or the regrets of the past.
The Number One Rule of Working Is: DO THE BEST WORK YOU CAN. Why do anything but your best? What's the point?
I travel because life is short, and I will not wait for fear of death or sanctuary to become a prison of my own making.
I travel not only for the passion and madness and desire of movement, but because travel, like bread and water and air, becomes necessary to a life fully dreamed and lived.
