Money can buy you knowledge, but not the wisdom to use it wisely.

No one OWES you a THING. So don’t EXPECT it. You’re on your OWN.

Remember, it’s still a mystery to be an adult. If you knew it all before eighteen, you’d have nothing to look forward to.

It is you who must someday break through the protective polish of who you are, to become naked and powerful to who you can truly be.

I travel to be replenished with beauty, for travel makes the beauty of this world seem like a Christmas that never ends. I travel for the jolting, angelic act of seeking strangeness and newness and...

Be the same person- with or without money.

Remember, Little Ones, everything is not important all the time. Only living is important all the time. Not things. Not money. Not more things and more endless money. Spend well the quality of your time....

Money. It fits around your neck like some permanent noose. always waiting for your next misstep.

Who will you be, my Little Ones? Will you dance for the fires of your youth and run at midnight to water’s edge, diving into summer’s heat? Will you ride a wild mare to any...

I gather the last remnants of the evening’s breeze, so cool and lazy within my arms, feeling it curl up like a small and innocent kitten.

There’s so much to learn. So much to enjoy. So terribly much to be curious about. Take your life and run with it. Make a habit of being alive. This much of anything, I have...

Starting the Day— Another chance to be new again. How many of us still wish for that? To be your own sunrise. To awaken like a prayer -both solemn and joyful at still being alive.

You become a man when, in having children, you not only physically look after and protect them but also protect them with all the love and learning you have to give.

The things you don’t know or understand are as important as your desire to know them. This is the relationship of man to mystery.

HungerYou are only here now, and then you are gone. So be hungry. Hunger toward beauty. Hunger toward love. Hunger towards the unimaginable and unthinkable.

While all the universe and my family are still sleeping, I will walk among the red and blue twinkle-lights of the living room, to sit and gaze upon the pretty white angel atop the tree...

Wake up. Be thankful. For whatever happens on this day, you are endlessly given the chance to start again-to be alive. And all of us should wish for that.

It’s a fool who thinks having a kid is a right, which is the biggest crock of fish heads I’ve ever heard.

Money may buy you the means to a happiness, but it cannot buy happiness itself.

Just because you’re breathing, doesn’t mean you’re alive.

POLITENESS must carry the true weight of SINCERITY and INTEGRITY for it to be a true act of POLITENESS.

Enjoy what you are learning and doing. This is one of the hardest concepts in the entire world to understand. Harder yet to put into practice.

Be the greatest of who you were meant to be. Life goes on ferociously-with or without you. It is your choice. Truly and magnificently your choice.

Enjoy the RIDE NOW. You’ll be SUCCESSFUL later, however YOU define SUCCESS.

You haven’t seen a thing until you’ve seen this man fight. My sword is sharp. My heart strong. My spirit ferocious – and I am going to live. Let the swords clash. Let the fight...

Living isn’t always red bows and birthday balloons.

So curious you must be. Like little calves poking their heads through the fence with big eyes and a headful of curiosity.

Why travel? To be changed, and to be changed again and again.

Money – it can buy you a moment of glee but not a lifetime of happiness.

So, if the truest currency of life is time, then how do you get more time? Because if more is merrier, than having more time should make us more happier. Right? Therefore, all we have...

Your time is your time. Be awake to it. It’s hard work to be wisely alive.

As an adult, be child-like as you learn but not child-ish as you live.

Only you can know the difference between your wants and your needs, and your sacrifice of your life’s time to both.

Don’t have kids until you’re ready. And when you do have them, have them all the way. They aren’t like some Cadillac that you can turn back into the dealership after three years.

You might want more time in your life to attempt the things you like to do, and not just perform the things you have to do.

Rain. Tumble, bumble and, fall on me. Any old day, any old way. Come for a visit, or come for a stay. Rain, rain, don’t go away.

I travel for the jolting, angelic act of seeking strangeness and newness and profoundness.

Money can buy you everything to fill your time but it cannot buy time itself. And things are definitely not time.

The trick to not growing old is to: Stay curious. Keep your teeth. Stay hopeful. Do everything gracefully, yet kick when you have to.

As I see it, you GET married – but you MAKE a marriage.

Kids. They’re not tin cans or sheetrock. They’re laughing machines. Wind them up and watch them go.

But more importantly in my book of life, it’s what you can’t buy with money that is often more important than what you can buy.

My God, what a sensation to be an atom in the scheme of such grandiosity. The allurement, the jazz, and the physics of it all . . .

All you have to do to quickly become OLD is to slowly GIVE UP being ALIVE.

It’s a heck of a responsibility to look after a spirit. So give kids the best of who you are. That’s the most you can ever do.

A Good Man. Every night, like a question-and-answer prayer, my son and I recite…What are you going to be? And he says…An honest man. A fair man. A courageous man. And a good man. That’s...
