There are two forces which motivate us or cause us to act. Inspiration or desperation. Always act out of inspiration and you will experience more joy in your day to day living.

"We are most alive when we're in love."

"Make voyages! - Attempt them! - there's nothing else..."

"It isn't kind to cultivate a friendship just so one will have an audience."

"If you treat people right they will treat you right - ninety percent of the time."
