If we spend enough time dreaming, then the dream might eventually become real.

Dreams free us from normality. Daydreams, especially, take us somewhere between the real world and the dream world.

Our best canvas is all around us, in everything we touch and do.

We all need to believe in something, a dream that gives us optimism and faith.

A man can never be truly free when he knows that he is neglecting his duties elsewhere.

We are all Clapping Monkeys, but while some of us smile, others look around to see if anyone has noticed.

I wasn__ born to fetch, or sit, or accept a beating. I__ here to be me, to write, and know my purpose.

Why should we change that which makes us unique?

If, like me, you suffer from lack of self-confidence you__l know that the term is made up of two conflicting words, and that confidence isn__ easily found in the self.

It__ ironic that those who lack self-confidence are often the ones who find it hardest to say no.

The thing that matters most is what matters to you, not anybody else.

Most of us, at some time or other, get sucked into the lifeless vacuum of work; the cogs of the corporate machine that we keep turning until one day, when we depart this Earth, we may earn the word __ubricant_ on our headstone.

Eight months in the woods have hardened me, or at least firmed up my beliefs that if a man__ going to fend for himself, then he needs to leave his credit card at home.

If ever the adventure proves tiring, or you lose sight of your dream, look to the west at sunset. There, on days when the skies are clear, you might see upon the horizon a thin layer of amber mist. When it appears, you will know its purpose: it is the mist of believing.

The speed of modern life is an oppressive thing, and the corporate world is quick to punish those with an honest heart. Qualities such as __ice, honest, kind, happy, relaxed, sincere, innocent_ are frowned upon as weaknesses. Yet these values are the essence of a good person. Unfortunately, if you don__ keep the balance, they can be lost like sand through your fingers.

Angling is a sport, so sporting ethics should apply.

Smile, tip your traditional hat, and enjoy your time by the water.

We seek not for forgiveness, but the freedom and time to do more than __xist_.
