The places you're going to are never on the map. And once you get that map out, you won't be able to re-fold it no matter how smart you are.

I hope that something better comes along.
Watch out for the icy patch
It's a wonderful life and I love it.

Do everything at 100 percent of its potential and never accept second best.
