“One, remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Two, never give up work. Work gives you meaning and purpose and life is empty without it. Three, if you are lucky enough to find love, remember it is there and don’t throw it away”

Not putting miles on the Ferarri
“Not putting miles on your Ferrari is like not having sex with your girlfriend, so she’ll be more desirable to her next boyfriend”
Fear of looking ridiculous
“I feel rather strongly that it is not fear of death that prevents most people from achieving everything they want in life, but rather fear of looking ridiculous.”
God's glory and power
“The creation of man whom God in his foreknowledge knew doomed to sin was the awful index of God’s omnipotence. For it would have been a thing of trifling and contemptible ease for Perfection to create mere perfection. To do so would, to speak truth, be not creation but extension. Separateness is identity and the only way for God to create, truly create, man was to make him separate from God himself, and to be separate from God is to be sinful. The creation of evil is therefore the index of God’s glory and his power. That had to be so that the creation of good might be the index of man’s glory and power - But by God’s help. By His help and in his wisdom”
Vulnerability
“The harder we press on a violin string, the less we can feel it. The louder we play, the less we hear.... If I “try” to play, I fail; if I race, I trip. The only road to strength is vulnerability”
RIP Leonard Nimoy
“A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. ”
Time is eternity
“Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity.”
