I NEVER PREPARE ANYTHING…IT’S ALL IMPROVISED… BUT VERY PROFESSIONAL IMPROVISATION.

FOREVER IS COMPOSED OF NOWS.

NEVER DOUBT THAT A SMALL GROUP OF THOUGHTFUL COMMITTED CITIZENS CAN CHANGE THE WORLD. INDEED, IT’S THE ONLY THING THAT EVER HAS.

THE REASON WE STRUGGLE WITH INSECURITY IS BECAUSE WE COMPARE OUR BEHIND-THE-SCENES WITH EVERYONE ELSE’S HIGHLIGHT REEL.

BEWARE OF THE LOLLIPOP OF MEDIOCRITY; LICK IT ONCE AND YOU’LL SUCK FOREVER.

TALENT IS THE DESIRE TO PRACTICE. RIGHT? IT IS THAT YOU LOVE SOMETHING SO MUCH THAT YOU ARE WILLING TO MAKE AN ENORMOUS SACRIFICE AND AN ENORMOUS COMMITMENT TO THAT, WHATEVER IT IS — TASK, GAME, SPORT, WHAT HAVE YOU.

VISION IS THE ART OF SEEING WHAT IS INVISIBLE TO OTHERS.

DO YOU HAVE A MIND LIKE WATER? WATER IS FLEXIBLE. WHEN IT MEETS AN OBSTACLE, IT GOES AROUND IT. IMPROV TEACHES US TO BE FLEXIBLE. TO THINK OF EVERYTHING AS A GIFT, AS AN OPPORTUNITY.

SOMETIMES YOU JUST HAVE TO JUMP OUT THE WINDOW AND GROW WINGS ON THE WAY DOWN.

LIFE IS ABOUT THE PEOPLE YOU MEET, AND THE THINGS YOU CREATE WITH THEM. SO GO OUT AND START CREATING.

DON’T GIVE TO GET. GIVE TO INSPIRE OTHERS TO GIVE.

LET’S MAKE BETTER MISTAKES TOMORROW.

NEVER MAKE YOUR HOME IN A PLACE. MAKE A HOME FOR YOURSELF INSIDE YOUR OWN HEAD. YOU’LL FIND WHAT YOU NEED TO FURNISH IT – MEMORY, FRIENDS YOU CAN TRUST, LOVE OF LEARNING, AND OTHER SUCH THINGS. THAT WAY IT WILL GO WITH YOU WHEREVER YOU JOURNEY.

EVERYONE IS BORN A GENIUS, BUT THE PROCESS OF LIVING DE-GENIUSES THEM.

NO PRESSURE, NO DIAMONDS.

WHAT WE NEED IS MORE PEOPLE WHO SPECIALIZE IN THE IMPOSSIBLE.

DO STUFF. BE CLENCHED, CURIOUS. NOT WAITING FOR INSPIRATION’S SHOVE OR SOCIETY’S KISS ON YOUR FOREHEAD. PAY ATTENTION. IT’S ALL ABOUT PAYING ATTENTION. ATTENTION IS VITALITY. IT CONNECTS YOU WITH OTHERS. IT MAKES YOU EAGER. STAY EAGER.

I AM LOOKING FOR A LOT OF MEN WHO HAVE AN INFINITE CAPACITY TO NOT KNOW WHAT CAN’T BE DONE.

IN THEORY, THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THEORY AND PRACTICE. BUT IN PRACTICE, THERE IS.

WAAR HET GOED IS, WORD JE BETER.

WHEN YOU GO FISHING YOU CAN CATCH A LOT OF FISH, OR YOU CAN CATCH A BIG FISH. YOU EVER WALK INTO A GUY’S DEN AND SEE A PICTURE OF HIM STANDING NEXT TO FOURTEEN TROUT?

SKATE WHERE THE PUCK IS GOING TO BE, NOT WHERE IT HAS BEEN.

MAKE NO LITTLE PLANS. THEY HAVE NO MAGIC TO STIR MEN’S BLOOD AND PROBABLY THEMSELVES WILL NOT BE REALIZED. MAKE BIG PLANS; AIM HIGH IN HOPE AND WORK, REMEMBERING THAT A NOBLE, LOGICAL DIAGRAM ONCE RECORDED WILL NEVER DIE, BUT LONG AFTER WE ARE GONE WILL BE A LIVING THING, ASSERTING ITSELF WITH EVER-GROWING INSISTENCY. REMEMBER THAT OUR SONS AND GRANDSONS ARE GOING TO DO THINGS THAT WOULD STAGGER US. LET YOUR WATCHWORD BE ORDER AND YOUR BEACON BEAUTY. THINK BIG.

NEVER ANSWER THE QUESTIONS, ALWAYS QUESTION THE ANSWERS.

IT’S A SHAME TO ONLY HAVE DREAMS AT NIGHT. YOU SHOULD HAVE A FEW OPPORTUNITIES DURING THE DAY.
