Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.
The cure for anything is salt water — sweat, tears, or the sea.
My great hope is to laugh as much as I cry; to get my work done and try to love somebody and have the courage to accept the love in return.
If we couldn’t laugh, we would all go insane.

When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hold on
The world is not imperfect or confined at a point somewhere along a gradual pathway toward perfection. No, it is perfect at every moment.
The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you’ve got it made.
You can never replace anyone because everyone is made up of such beautiful specific details.
