No matter how loud the sirens or how numerous the hazard signs, we all touch the flames at least once to prove they're hot.

Sometimes the difference between success and failure is simply the degree to which you crave one over the other.

Some things can't be taught; they can only be discovered.

What you perceive as a failure today may actually be a crucial step towards the success you seek. Never give up.

Curiosity killed the cat, but not before teaching her that honey bees are not sweet, tweeting birds are slow to react, mice can serve as both toys and food, big dogs like to snuggle, falling isn’t flying, cream drips from lazy cows, water should be avoided at all costs, baths don’t require getting wet, kindness and cruelty often fall from the same hand, and engines remain comfortably warm long after the motor dies.

You can teach a person all you know, but only experience will convince him that what you say is true.
