We’re cool for the summer.
I’m a lightweight, easy to fall easy to break.
Every day is a new opportunity to change your life and be who you want to be.
There’s a part of me I can’t get back. A little girl grew up too fast. All it took was once, I’ll never be the same.
Now I’m a warrior.
Baby, that’s just me.
I’m fragile just washed upon the shore.
The man of knowledge must be able not only to love his enemies but also to hate his friends.

Instinct is probably the essence of past experience and knowledge stored up for later use. There are many, you know, who think that this life journey through the world is not the first one we have made.

That’s one of the reasons I do not travel much.
Many people seem to believe that Greenfield Village and the Edison Institute and Museum at Dearborn, with their specimens of earlier type of American life and industry, are just a kind of antiquarian hobby of mine. I do not deny that they have given me a great deal of interest and pleasure. But the project is vastly more than a hobby. It has very definite purposes, and I hope will have results lasting down the years. One purpose is to remind the public who visit it and sometimes there are thousands a day–of how farand how fast we have come in technical progress in the last century or so. If we have come so far and so fast, is it likely that we shall stop now?
Ah, but I was so much older then, I’m younger than that now.
I can visualize the time when almost every family will have a small plane in their back yard.
If you really understand Zen, you can use any book, even the dictionary, because the sound of the rain needs no translation.

There are people who, instead of listening to what is being said to them, are already listening to what they are going to say themselves.
The third-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking with the majority. The second-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking with the minority. The first-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking.
They ask me how I love you and I say in pages, in novels, in volumes. I love you like my favorite story, the one that I wake up to every day and watch unfold. And I don’t know how it ends, but I know your name is already written in the chapters of my life that I have yet to live.
A goal is a dream with a finish line.
