"Luck is when preparation meets opportunity" - Seneca, Roman Scholar

"A wise man, recognizing that the world is but an illusion, does not act as if it is real, so he escapes the suffering." - Hindu Prince Gautama Siddharta, the founder of Buddhism

"The traveler was active; he went strenuously in search of people, of adventure, of experience. The tourist is passive; he expects interesting things to happen to him. He goes 'sight-seeing'" - Daniel J. Boorstin, Recipient of the 1974 Pulitzer Prize

"For one who is indifferent, life itself is a prison. Any sense of community is external or, even worse, nonexistent. Thus, indifference means solitude. Those who are indifferent do not see others. They feel nothing for others and are unconcerned with what might happen to them. They are surrounded by a great emptiness. Filled by it, in fact. They are devoid of all hope as well as imagination. In other words, devoid of any future." - Elie Wiesel
