Words of Wisdom:

"Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle."  -Abraham Lincoln

Words of Wisdom:

"There's nothing like biting off more than you can chew, and then chewing anyway."  - Mark Burnett 

"There are no easy methods of learning difficult things; the method is to close your door, give out that you are not at home, and work."  - Joseph de Maistre

You said it Mr. Maistre... Please don't call me, don't ask me to come play, don't invite me out for dinner(Feel free to drop off cookies though!)... locking myself in the studio/dungeon for a while and making shit happen. Big things in the works. Lot's of wood bein' cut.  Paint being painted. Lines drawn. Music listened. Graphics Designed. Midnight oil burned. See you in a whiles crocodiles... I'll pop my head out when it's safe again.

Words of Wisdom:

"No one realizes how beautiful it is to travel until he comes home and rests his head on his old, familiar pillow."  -Lin Yutang

Words of Wisdom:

"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts.  Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime."  -Mark Twain

Words of Wisdom:

"You didn’t come into this world. You came out of it, like a wave from the ocean. You are not a stranger here." -Alan Watts

Words of Wisdom:

"Wandering re-establishes the original harmony which once existed between man and the universe."- Anatole France

I have a feeling I'll be going for another wander very soon... feet are getting a mean itch.  I gotta go......

Words of Wisdom:

Damn, this one hit me like a ton of bricks...

"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you learn to appreciate them when they're right. You believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself... and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together." - Marilyn Monroe

Words of Wisdom:

"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary." - Steve Jobs

Words of Wisdom:

"The border means more than a customs house, a passport officer, a man with a gun. Over there everything is going to be different; life is never going to be quite the same again after your passport has been stamped." - Graham Greene

Words of Wisdom:

"You never leave where you are until you decide where you'd rather be." - Unknown

Words of Wisdom

"Stripped of your ordinary surroundings, your friends, your daily routines, your refrigerator full of food, your closet full of clothes - with all this taken away, you are forced into direct experience. Such direct experience inevitably makes you aware of who it is that is having the experience. That's not always comfortable, but it is always invigorating."
- Michael Crichton

Words of Wisdom:

"Life is a great big canvas; throw all the paint on it you can." - Danny Kaye

Words of Wisdom:

“Good judgment comes from experience and experience comes from bad judgment.” - Fred Brooks

Thanks to Uncle Stan for sending me this one... appropriate I think.

Words of Wisdom:

"One of the gladdest moments of human life, methinks, is the departure upon a distant journey into unknown lands. Shaking off with one mighty effort the fetters of habit, the leaden weight of routine, the cloak of many cares and the slavery of home, man feels once more happy."
- Sir Richard Burton

Words of Wisdom

"...All the above is, of course, a gross simplification. There are deeper reasons to travel - itches and tickles on the underbelly of the unconscious mind. We go where we need to go, and then try to figure out what we're doing there." - Jeff Greenwald "Shopping for Buddhas"

Words of Wisdom

"Certainly, travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living." - Miriam Beard

Words of Wisdom

"An unhurried sense of time is in itself a form of wealth." - Bonnie Friedman

Words of Wisdom

"The world belongs to the energetic." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Words of Wisdom

"Make voyages! Attempt them! There's nothing else..." - Tennessee Williams

Words of Wisdom

“The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page” - St. Augustine
