You cannot open a book without learning something.
Wherever you go, go with all your heart.
Growth is painful. Change is painful. But, nothing is as painful as staying stuck where you do not belong.
If your ego starts out, 'I am important, I am big, I am special', you're in for some disappointments when you look around at what we've discovered about the universe. No, you're not big.

It won't make you do anything except feel horrible.
Once you begin being naughty, it is easier to go and on and on, and sooner or later something dreadful happens.
