The tourist sees what he has come to see.”

read only a page.”

Failure does not mean I’m a failure;
It does mean I have not yet succeeded.Failure does not mean I have accomplished nothing;
It does mean I have learned something.Failure does not mean I have been a fool;
It does mean I had enough faith to experiment.Failure does not mean I have disgraced;
It does mean I have dared to try.Failure does not mean I don’t have it;
It does mean I have something to do in a different way.Failure does not mean I am inferior;
It does mean I am not perfect.Failure does not mean I have wasted my life;
It does mean that I have an excuse to start over.Failure does not mean that I should give up;
It does mean that I should try harder.Failure does not mean that I will never make it;
It does mean that I need more practice.Failure does not mean that You have abandoned me;
It does mean that You must have a better idea.-Unknown

“When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better, too. It’s not love to be static like the desert, nor is it love to roam the world like the wind. And it’s not love to see everything from a distance. […] It is we who nourish the Soul of the World, and the world we live in will be either better or worse, depending on whether we become better or worse. And that’s where the power of love comes in. Because when we love, we always strive to become better than we are.”
