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 harbour.

Catch the trade winds in your sails.

Explore. Dream. Discover.

Mark Twain

Develop interest in life as you see it;

in people, things, literature, music

the world is so rich,

simply throbbing with rich treasures,

beautiful souls and interesting people.

Forget yourself.

Henry Miller

And this I believe:

that the free, exploring mind of the individual human

is the most valuable thing in the world.

And this I would fight for:

The freedom of the mind
to take any direction it wishes, undirected.

And this I must fight against:

any idea, religion, or government
which limits or destroys the individual.

This is what I am and what I am about.

John Steinbeck
