life is not what came before. It is not what comes after.

life is you and I, together, in this moment, sitting in this field and feeling the mosquitos nibble at our legs.

life is when you see a perfect smile where I see a crooked tooth in the mirror.

life is not you, nor I.

life is us.

Talent is a cunning thing. Without it, you must take a year to achieve what those with it can in a week. With it, you must take a year to understand the value of what you have learned, while those without it will learn in a week.

Sometimes it is better to leave a few stones unturned.

Without sadness, there is no happiness. Without happiness, no sadness.

Do not cast aside the crop only because it is half-covered in dirt.

Experience life in its entirety. Embrace it as a whole. Without venturing into the valley we cannot grasp the enormity of the mountains.
