The gods are fallen and all safety gone. And there is one sure thing about the fall of gods: they do not fall a little; they crash and shatter or sink deeply into green muck. It is a tedious job to build them up again; they never quite shine. And the child's world is never quite whole again. It is an aching kind of growing. — John Steinbeck
To become a world-class university takes a lot of time. There are simply no shortcuts.

But such rapid growth never happens. It takes time; it takes generations. — Henry Rosovsky
My wife and I never agree on the dishtowels. It's a matter of terms. She asks me not to put the dishtowel in the sink. So I drape it over the sink, but not in the sink. If that's our biggest problem, I think we're in good shape. — Paul Reiser

We'd be making sail in the dawn, with a fair breeze, singing a chanty song wid no care to it. And astern the land would be sinking low and dying out, but we'd give it no heed but a laugh, and never look behind.

People with the best intentions will often give you advice on why you shouldn’t take a risk because of what could happen.

Next time this happens, throw them a life-line, and ask them what is good about their situation. — Bob Proctor
