• "Challenges are what make life interesting; overcoming them is what makes life meaningful. -Joshua J. Marine Impossible is not a word. It's just a reason for someone not to try. It is a shame that in this society we've been taught to judge a man's worth by what he owns instead of who he is. Everything is surface, and so few look beyond it. A man will sell his soul, he will lie, cheat and steal, for money. If he has it, he can buy respect. Wear the right clothes, drive the right car, have the right friends, that's all that matters. Our lives are consumed in a selfish, self absorbed quest for possessions, the latest and the best in a never-ending cycle until the day we die. We forget what it means to be truly human. We forget the things that really matter. We lose the magic of what life should be. I won't live by rules that make no sense to me. -Evan Tanner "Never stop thinking. This is important. If someone ever says to you ‘You need to stop thinking so much,’ call them ignorant in your head and keep thinking deeper. It is this mentality that breeds stupidity and sheeple. Your mind is the most important tool you have, if you stop using it, it will atrophy. Question everything." "When we’re born we see the world in uncomplicated ways. We know what we need, and we ask for it. We sleep when we’re tired, we eat when hungry, and we stop eating when full. As we get older, we eat for comfort, instead addressing what’s bothering us. We overwork to avoid close relationships, instead of finding people we can trust. We hold grudges and want things we don’t need. In other words, we complicate things." "People drop pennies down a wishing well, so the cost of a desire is equal to that of a thought. But if you’ve got expectations, expect others have bought your exact same dream for the price of a ‘hard work, hang in, hold on’ mentality." "Getting the wind knocked out of you is the only way to remind your lungs that they like the taste of air." "There's nothing more beautiful than the way the ocean refuses to stop kissing the shoreline no matter how many times it's sent away." "Speak every time you stand. Do not forget yourself. Do not let one moment go by that doesn't remind you that your heart beats a hundred thousand times a day; and that there are enough gallons of blood to make every one of you oceans. Do not settle for letting these waves settle. And do not let dust collect in your veins." "You can never cross the ocean unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore." "I may not agree with a word you say, but will defend to the death your right to say it." - Voltaire"
