Life is a long adventure and we are surrounded by fellow creatures of endless variety, form and colour. And in order to enjoy these treasures all we need do is open our eyes and be curious.
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things
that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor.
Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
Mark Twain
