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.
It is only in adventure that some people succeed in knowing themselves - in finding themselves.
The biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams.
I haven't been everywhere, but it's on my list.
The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.
