“I know you need to go,
But before you do I want you to know, that I
Wish you the best.
And I wish you nothing less
Than every thing you've ever dreamed of.
And I hope that you find love along the way.
But most of all,
I wish you'd stay.”

Brad Paisley (1972) American country music singer

I Wish You'd Stay, written by Brad Paisley and Chris DuBois.
Song lyrics, Part II (2001)

“There is no wasted effort. There is no wasted effort. It will all add to the path. It will all add to the journey. Somehow. You just can't even imagine how it will. But you just need to do things fully to the best of your ability. And you go towards the thing that you love. What you love to do.”

“I'm constitutionally incapable of it. There's a special extra quality you need that is indefinable, and I know I don't have it. There's an equanimity, an impermeability and a courage that you need. There are some things in life you know it's better not to try.”

Michael Gove (1967) British politician
