        Challenges can be stepping stones or stumbling blocks. It just depends on how you view them.

          I never learned from a man who agreed with me.

          When faced with a problem you do not understand, do any part of it you do understand, then look at it again.

            The Bible.

            New International Version
            And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

              The average dog is a nicer person than the average person.

              Better the chaos of creativity than the tidiness of idleness.

              Don't know who wrote either of these.

                            Look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see, and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious.
                            Stephen Hawking

                            We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special.
                            Stephen Hawking

                            That deep emotional conviction of the presence of a superior reasoning power, which is revealed in the incomprehensible universe, forms my idea of God.
                            Albert Einstein

                            The nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon in our apple pies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars. We are made of starstuff.”
                            Carl Sagan, Cosmos

                            “A philosopher once asked, "Are we human because we gaze at the stars, or do we gaze at them because we are human?" Pointless, really..."Do the stars gaze back?" Now, that's a question.”
