When someone tells me “no,” it doesn't mean I can't do it, it simply means I can't do it with them.

You can't shake hands with a clenched fist.

The best friend is he that, when he wishes a person's good, wishes it for that person's own sake.

Love makes your soul crawl out from its hiding place.

Risk something or forever sit with your dreams.

Let frustration fuel inspiration.

Everything in nature invites us constantly to be what we are.

It is not a daily increase, but a daily decrease. Hack away at the inessentials.

The bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship.
