Trust in dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.

Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.

Isn't it astonishing that all these secrets have been preserved for so many years just so we could discover them!

It is better to light one small candle than to curse the darkness.

The time is always right to do the right thing
