You must do the things you think you cannot do.
The greatest gift you can give a child is an imagination.

Life was meant to be lived, and curiosity must be kept alive.

The mind must be trained, rather than the memory.
Looking back I see that I was always afraid of something: of the dark, of displeasing people, of failure. Anything I accomplished had to be done across a barrier of fear.
