There is no greater devourer of the human spirit than the ticks and tallies of corporate assessment. You are not a dispensary. You are a soul, soulfully engaged with its own creative and playful spirit.

We do not remember days, we remember moments.

If there's a book you really want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.

Stay hungry, stay foolish.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

Being a part of something special does not make you special.  Something is special because you are part of it.

It is not how long we are alive but how much we are alive in the time that is given to us that matters more.
