“Her love was entire as a child’s, and though warm as summer it was fresh as spring.”

“She was more than human to me. She was a Fairy, a Sylph, I don’t know what she was - anything that no one ever saw, and everything that everybody ever wanted. I was swallowed up in an abyss of love in an instant. There was no pausing on the brink; no looking down, or looking back; I was gone, headlong, before I had sense to say a word to her.”

“Every atom of your flesh is as dear to me as my own: in pain and sickness it would still be dear.”

“He was my North, my South, my East and West, My working week and my Sunday rest.”

“He feeds upon her face by day and night, And she with true kind eyes looks back on him, Fair as the moon and joyful as the light.”

“O, my luve’s like a red, red rose, That’s newly sprung in June.”

“Open your mind. Get up off the couch. Move.”

“As you move through this life…you leave marks behind, however small. And in return, life - and travel - leaves marks on you.”

“Life is: beautiful, funny, fragile, amazing, tragic, challenging, rewarding and above all, short. Hug longer, love harder, laugh more. And know we are all in this together, even when it seems unbearable.”

“Design is the silent ambassador of your brand.”

“A logo doesn’t sell directly, it identifies.”

“Logos are the graphic extension of the internal realities of a company.”

“A logo is not a brand—it's only a symbol for a brand. A brand is much more than a logo.”

“A logo is the period at the end of a sentence, not the sentence itself.”

“Hope is not a strategy.”

“Negotiation is not an act of battle; it’s a process of discovery. The goal is to uncover as much information as possible.”

“I want to love you without clutching, appreciate you without judging, join you without invading, invite you without demanding, leave you without guilt, criticize you without blaming, and help you without insulting. If I can have the same from you, then we can truly meet and enrich each other.”

“When the weight of the paper equals the weight of the airplane, only then you can go flying.”

“It is a hard rule of life, and I believe a healthy one, that no great plan is ever carried out without meeting and overcoming endless obstacles that come up to try the skill of man’s hand, the quality of his courage, and the endurance of his faith.”
