It is to labour... and to labour only, that man owes every thing possessed of exchangeable value. Labour is the talisman that has raised him from the condition of the savage - that has changed the desert and the forest into cultivated fields... Labour tho that has covered the earth with cities and the ocean with ships - of wealth that has given us plenty, comfort, and elegance, instead of want, misery, and barbarism. View quote

If you think of exercise as a 60-minute commitment 3 times a week at the gym, you're missing the point completely.

I know it sounds cliche, but you have to find things you love to do. View quote

When I was growing up, Forest Park was full of integrated families. It was amazing. One my best friends was Vietnamese. Another one was half-Mexican, half-black. Another one was from Colombia. Another one was born in the U.S., but his mom was from Germany and spoke with a German accent. So we all had multiple identities. View quote

All worthy efforts, but if you're not centered and you don't have the serenity in your life you need to accomplish that task, you're not going to do a very good job. View quote

Haley Joel Osment
At night, what you see is a city, because all you see is lights. By day, it doesn't look like a city at all. The trees out-number the houses. And that's completely typical of Seattle. You can't quite tell: is it a city, is it a suburb, is the forest growing back? View quote
Jonathan Raban
