Stone
Get your education, and if you see small opportunities, take them. Each one could be a stepping stone to something bigger.
I wanted to know the name of every stone and flower and insect and bird and beast. I wanted to know where it got its color, where it got its life — but there was no one to tell me.
The proud, the cold untroubled heart of stone, that never mused on sorrow but its own.
I'm not a prophet or a stone aged man, just a mortal with potential of a superman. I'm living on.
Let the one among you who is without sin be the first to cast a stone.
The poets' scrolls will outlive the monuments of stone. Genius survives; all else is claimed by death.

The unreal is more powerful than the real, because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it, because it's only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. Stone crumbles, wood rots. People, well, they die. But things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on.
Whatever you do, do it with all your might. Work at it, early and late, in season and out of season, not leaving a stone unturned, and never deferring for a single hour that which can be done just as well now.
No better way is there to learn to love Nature than to understand Art. It dignifies every flower of the field. And, the boy who sees the thing of beauty which a bird on the wing becomes when transferred to wood or canvas will probably not throw the customary stone.
Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it.
You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space.
