Sleep is such a luxury, which I can’t afford.
― Robin Sikarwar

It's sad to fall asleep. It separates people. Even when you're sleeping together, you're all alone.
― J.L. Merrow, Pricks and Pragmatism

Care keeps his watch in every old man’s eye,
And where care lodges, sleep will never lie.
― William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet


Sleeping is no mean art:  for its sake one must stay awake all day.
― Friedrich Nietzsche

If you can't sleep, then get up and do something instead of lying there worrying.  It's the worry that gets you, not the lack of sleep.
― Dale Carnegie

A good laugh and a long sleep are the best cures in the doctor's book.
― Irish Proverb

It is better to travel well than to arrive.

Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not.

One travels more usefully when alone, because he reflects more.

The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.

What we are doing to the forests of the world is but a mirror reflection of what we are doing to ourselves and to one another.
Mahatma Gandhi

This life is yours. Take the power to choose what you want to do and do it well. Take the power to love what you want in life and love it honestly. Take the power to walk in the forest and be a part of nature. Take the power to control your own life. No one else can do it for you. Take the power to make your life happy.
Susan Polis Schutz

If you tell a joke in the forest, but nobody laughs, was it a joke?
Stephen Wright 

Some men go through a forest and see no firewood
English Proverb

“Learn the past, watch the present, and create the future.”
Anonymous

“Endure the present, and watch for better things.”
Virgil

“If God gives you a watch, are you honoring Him more by asking Him what time it is or by simply consulting the watch?”
A.    W. Tozer
 

“ Let this become your key - next time when anger comes, just watch it. Don't say, “I am angry.” Say, “Anger is there and I am watching it.” And see the difference! The difference is vast. Suddenly you are out of the grip of anger. If you can say, “I am just a watcher, I am not anger,” you are out of the grip.”
Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh

“Some people make things happen, some watch things happen, while others wonder what has happened”
Proverb

“You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me”
C.S. Lewis

 
“Suit the action to the word, the word to the action”
William Shakespeare
 

“Honesty pays, but it don't seem to pay enough to suit some people.”
Kin Hubbard

 
“Sometimes I wonder if men and women really suit each other. Perhaps they should live next door and just visit now and then.”
Katharine Hepburn

“Would that there were an award for people who come to understand the concept of enough. Good enough. Successful enough. Thin enough. Rich enough. Socially responsible enough. When you have self-respect, you have enough.”
Gail Sheehy


“And now I depart hence condemned by you to suffer the penalty of death, and they, too, go their ways condemned by the truth to suffer the penalty of villainy and wrong; and I must abide by my award - let them abide by theirs.”
 Plato


“Neither praise or blame is the object of true criticism. Justly to discriminate, firmly to establish, wisely to prescribe, and honestly to award. These are the true aims and duties of criticism.”
 William Gilmore Simms

Motto

"A story is not like a road to follow … it's more like a house. You go inside and stay there for a while, wandering back and forth and settling where you like and discovering how the room and corridors relate to each other, how the world outside is altered by being viewed from these windows. And you, the visitor, the reader, are altered as well by being in this enclosed space, whether it is ample and easy or full of crooked turns, or sparsely or opulently furnished. You can go back again and again, and the house, the story, always contains more than you saw the last time. It also has a sturdy sense of itself of being built out of its own necessity, not just to shelter or beguile you."
by Alice Munro
