Jonathan Livingston Seagull

"Fly not for the food, but for the joy of flying."

"Be patient with yourself in this learning."

"The reason you came here was because of something within yourself."

"Each of us is in truth an idea of the Great Gull."

"You must not underestimate the power of your own thoughts."

"The most important thing is the flight itself."

"Keep working on love."

"There is no limit except the one you set yourself."

"Live each day as if it were your last."

"It is the evolution of consciousness that is important."

"Don't imagine yourself not flying."

"Your only obligation in any lifetime is to be true to yourself."

"Purpose is the only justification for an existence."

"We are all Free to be who we wish to be."

"Argues about flying are not nearly so interesting as flights themselves."

"To fly as fast as thought, to anywhere that is."

"It is because we choose to love the flying itself that we are evolving."

"Breaking through one's limitations is what lies ahead."

"Don't believe what your eyes are telling you. All they show is limitation. Look with your understanding."

"Heaven is not a place or a time. It is being perfect."

"A seagull has but one life to live and the most it can do is to make that life a full and fine one."

"Overcome space and all we have left is Here. Overcome time and all we have left is Now."

"One lesson is the greatest of all lessons. The lesson is that nothing is impossible."

"Better to spend one lifetime doing what you love than a thousand lifetimes dreaming of it."

"Don't simply retire from the world unless you're assured that you're sick of it."

"Flying is not really about moving your wings. It's a state of being."

"The way to deal with an impossible task is to laugh at circumstances while you work."

"Wishing, after all, is the first technique that any pilgrim has to master."

"Breaking through clouds, that's not flying. That's just rushing to find a cloud."

"Your only obligation in any lifetime is to be true to yourself."
