Wisdom is nothing but a preparation of the soul a capacity a secret art of thinking feeling and breathing thoughts of unity at every moment of life.

Life is the only art that we are required to practice without preparation and without being allowed the preliminary trials the failures and botches that are essential for training.

The preparation commitment and desire to win will be no less than the last time I drove a grand prix car in anger.

I really have a great deal of humility in that department and a great deal of respect for people who spend their lives learning how to make these amazing preparations.

Preparation for old age should begin not later than one's teens. A life which is empty of purpose until 65 will not suddenly become filled on retirement.
