Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

I’ve learned that mistakes can often be as good a teacher as success.

I'm not a master, I'm a student-master, meaning that I have the knowledge of a master and the expertise of a master, but I'm still learning, So I'm a student-master. I don't believe in the word master, I consider the master as such when they close the casket.

If you want to learn to swim, jump into the water. On dry land, no frame of mind is ever going to help you.

In my life dealing with wildlife, I've been gored, clawed, chomped, bitten, savaged, jumped on, whacked, peed on, even groped! And every single time, it's been my fault. If I get bitten, I've made the mistake; I knew what I was up against when I went in on that animal. And it's been a giant learning curve for me.

The only animals I'm not comfortable with are parrots, but I'm learning as I go. I'm getting better and better at 'em. I really am.
