They that go down to the sea in ships' see strange things, but what they tell is oft-times stranger still. A faculty for romancing is imparted by a seafaring life as readily and surely as a rolling gait and a weather-beaten countenance.

And a fine imagination will frequently manifest itself in other ways besides swear words.

Remember this, you don't have to be important or special or glamorous; all you actually need is success and pleasure from whatever it is that you choose to do with your life.

From this humble attitude flows a sweet serenity which comes naturally from personal healing and spiritual reconciliation.

If you're going to be passionate about something, be passionate about learning. If you're going to fight something, fight for those in need. If you're going to question something, question authority.

And if you're going to hate something, hate the false idea that you are not capable of your dreams.
