I beg young people to travel. If you don't have a passport, get one. Take a summer, get a backpack and go to Delhi, go to Saigon, go to Bangkok, go to Kenya. Have your mind blown, eat interesting food, dig some interesting people, have an adventure, be careful. Come back and you're going to see your country differently, you're going to see your president differently, no matter who it is. Music, culture, food, water. Your showers will become shorter. You're going to get a sense of what globalization looks like. It's not what Tom Friedman writes about, I'm sorry. You're going to see that global climate change is very real. And that for some people, their day consists of walking 12 miles for four buckets of water. And so there are lessons that you can't get out of a book that are waiting for you at the other end of that flight. A lot of people-Americans and Europeans-come back and go, "ohhhhh." And the lightbulb goes on. -Henry Rollins

Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known. -Carl Sagan

One of the greatest discoveries a man makes, one of his greatest surprises, is to find he can do what he was afraid he couldn't do. -Henry Ford

You can't go back and make a brand new start, but you can start right now and make a brand new end. -Ardith Kapp

Happiness is not achieved by the conscious pursuit of happiness; it is generally the by-product of other activities. -Aldous Huxley

Don't take life too seriously; you'll never get out of it alive. -Elbert Hubbard

Always forgive your enemies-nothing bothers them so much. -Oscar Wilde

It is unwise to be too sure of one's own wisdom. It is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err. -Mahatma Gandhi

Don't dream it, be it. -Tim Curry

You see things; and say: "Why?" But I dream things that never were and say: "Why not?" -George Berndard Shaw

And in the end it's not the years in your life that count. It is the life in your years. -Abe Lincoln

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass; it's about learning to dance in the rain.

Real heroes are men who fall and fail and are flawed, but win out in the end because they've stayed true to their ideals and beliefs and commitments. -Kevin Costner

Living is like tearing through a museum. Not until later do you really start absorbing what you saw, thinking about it, looking it up in a book, and remembering - because you can't take it in all at once. -Audrey Hepburn

Even a mistake may turn out to be the one thing necessary to a worthwhile achievement. -Henry Ford

Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new. -Albert Einstein

My grandfather once told me that there were two kinds of people: those who do the work and those who take the credit. He told me to try to be in the first group; there was much less competition. -Indira Gandhi

I wanted to change the world. But I have found that the only thing one can be sure of changing is oneself. -Aldous Huxley

Where there is love there is life. -Mahatma Gandhi

It has long been an axiom of mine that the little things are infinitely the most important. -Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

All that happens means something; nothing you do is ever insignificant. -Aldous Huxley

The future is as bright as your faith. -President Thomas S. Monson

How might we have joy in our lives, despite all that we may face? Again from the scriptures: ‘Wherefore, be of good cheer, and do not fear, for I the Lord am with you, and will stand by you.' -Thomas S. Monson

Believe in yourself. Believe in your capacity to do great and good and worthwhile things. Believe in the nature within you, the divine nature, that you are in very deed a son or daughter of the living God. There is something of divinity within you, something that stands high and tall and noble. Get above the dirt and the filth of the earth and walk on a higher plane with your heads up, believing in yourselves and in your capacity to act for good in the world and make a difference. -Gordon B. Hinckley

I hope you will simply do what you can do in the best way you know. -Gordon B. Hinckley
