“When we strive to seek what is unknown to us, we become better, braver, and more active than those who believe that the unknown cannot be found and is not worth seeking.”
Plato
“People of future generations will know much that is unknown to us, while much will remain unknown to those who live when every memory of us has faded. The world is not worth a broken penny if, someday, nothing incomprehensible remains in it.” — Lucius Annaeus Seneca
“When you understand something, life becomes easier. But when you feel something, it becomes harder. Yet for some reason, you always want to feel rather than understand!” (Yevgeny Grishkovets).
"Problems will come in waves. You can either learn to ride those waves, or they will knock you off your feet.
I like living with the ocean.
There are times when the water is calm and smooth, and there are times when the water is turbulent and powerful.
When the waves try to overwhelm you, grab your board and learn to surf!"
Brian Tracy
"Some people are as tall as mountains, others as deep as the ocean, and still others as mysterious as caves. Yet regardless of this, within each person there awaits a treasure, destined for one particular, unique individual—the one who, unafraid to embark on a journey, will conquer the mountains of prejudice, plunge into the ocean of the soul, and, finding the right key to the heart, open that very little chest containing our innermost desire." — Roman Podzorov
"On the sideboard, completely draped in lace doilies, stood three chests: a large one in the center, with smaller chests on either side.
‘Probably those very fabled treasures,’ Bill thought."
Terry Pratchett
"Sometimes the wishes you have long dreamed of begin to tumble into the casket of life, just like surprises."
Juliana Wilson
"Life itself is a miracle. And this miracle is in our hands. Life is wonderful. It is a treasure among treasures." Paul Bragg
"A treasure is everything a person has lost and neglected. A wasted minute is a sapphire. A discarded piece of bread is a glittering pearl. Strength that has not been used to benefit people is gold. If people did not lose their treasures, they would become rich. But as it is, treasures go into the earth." Maria Konopnicka, "About the Gnomes and the Orphan Marysia"
