“I wonder if I’ve been changed in the night. Let me think. Was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I’m not the same, the next question is ‘Who in the world am I?’ Ah, that’s the great puzzle!”
Lewis CarrolAlice in Wonderland
“A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving.”
— “Neither one is made of cheese.”
Lao Tze
“Patience is good only when it is the shortest way to a good end; otherwise, impatience is better.”
Charles Caleb Colton
“Men spend their lives in anticipations—in determining to be vastly happy at some period when they have time. But the present time has one advantage over every other—it is our own.

Charles Caleb Colton
“No wise fish would go anywhere without a porpoise.”
