Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.

Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live.

The winds and waves are always on the side of the ablest navigators.

Within you there is a stillness and a sanctuary to which you can retreat at any time.

I do not think it worth while to wait for enjoyment until there is some real opportunity for it.
