1. Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. -Mark Twain
2. When we are dreaming alone it is only a dream. When we are dreaming with others, it is the beginning of reality. -Dom Helder Camara
3. Never give up, ever.
