«Envy consists in seeing things never in themselves, but only in their relations. If you desire glory, you may envy Napoleon, but Napoleon envied Caesar, Caesar envied Alexander, and Alexander, I daresay, envied Hercules, who never existed.»
«Do not crush the flowers of wisdom with the hobnail boots of cynicism.»

You?re growing, learning. And isn't the journey, the experience, not the destination, what life is all about?»
