The Phantom Tollbooth

"It is not just learning things that is important, it is learning what to do with what you learn."

"The answer to any question lies within the question itself."

"It is far better to go forward than to look back."

"One cannot always choose one's companions in such ventures."

"The most valuable thing is understanding itself."

"It is the simple things that are most important."

"What you learn here will be useful everywhere."

"Nothing is impossible if you really want to do it."

"One must always follow one's instincts in such matters."

"We waste too much time on things that don't matter."

"You see, it is not always easy to tell the difference between good and evil."

"It is better to know a little and understand it than to know a lot and be confused."

"Things are only impossible until they are done."

"Without effort, nothing is accomplished."

"You must never say impossible."

"The smallest act performed with goodness is worth more than the grandest intention."

"It is so easy to get lost in these mountains of words."

"The worst thing about being lost is that only you know you are lost."

"Effort is the price of achievement."

"There is much more than just one side to any question."

"The more you know, the more questions you have."

"You must know why you go, where you are going, and what you will do there."

"Being lost is just another way of saying you're exploring."

"Without a destination it is impossible to know which way to go."

"The search for knowledge is never complete."

"One must always have time for tea."

"Stop talking about what you're going to do and do it."

"You're in the habit of wasting time."

"All the meanings are the same when you understand them."

"It would be unfortunate to do all that and then not succeed."
