If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else.

Balancing both natures

I early learned that there were two natures in me. This caused me a great deal of trouble, till I worked out a philosophy of life and struck a compromise between the flesh and the spirit. Too great an ascendancy of either was to be abnormal, and since normality is almost a fetish of mine, I finally succeeded in balancing both natures. Ordinarily they are at equilibrium; yet as frequently as one is permitted to run rampant, so is the other. I have small regard for an utter brute or for an utter saint.

Enjoy the Natural World

Hike mountains.
Run through meadows.
Explore forests.
Swim the sea.
Climb trees.
Breath wild air.
Gaze at the stars.
Enjoy the natural world.

How far you’ve come

Always focus on how far you’ve come,
rather than how far you have to go.

Your values are not hobbies

If you don’t stick to your values when they’re being tested, they’re not values: They’re hobbies.

We’re all stories, in the end

It’s funny, I thought, if you could hear me, I could hang on, somehow. Silly me. Silly old Doctor. When you wake up, you’ll have a mum and dad, and you won’t even remember me. Well, you’ll remember me a little. I’ll be a story in your head. But that’s OK: we’re all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?
