Favorite Quotes

“The road to success is always under construction.” —Lily Tomlin

“It’s this simple. If I never try anything, I never learn anything. If I never take a risk, I stay right where I am. If I go ahead and do it, that affects how much I continue wanting to do it. If I hold myself back, I trade appearances for the opportunity to find out what I’m really like.” —Hugh Prather

“The goal of life is living in agreement with nature.”—Zeno, Greece, 490-430 B.C.

“Experience is not what happens to you. It is what you do with what happens to you.” —Aldous Huxley
