---Little by little one walks far.
---Do not follow where the path may lead - Go instead, when there is no path and leave a trail.
---The thing to remember when travelling is that the trail is the thing, not the end of the trail. Travel too fast and you miss all you are travelling for. -Louis L'amour
---The same sun that waxs the way hardens the day
---We are like tea bags- we don't know our own strength until we are in hot water. -sister Buche
---Let us realise that what happens around us is largely outside our control. But the way we choose to react to it is inside our control.
