“Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times.” The quote, from a postapocalyptic novel by the author G. Michael Hopf, sums up a stunningly pervasive cyclical vision of history.
I'm sorry I can't remember who, but a member used this Ben Franklin quote as a tag-on to their posts:
"Let thy discontents be secrets."
As with many Franklin quotes, this is powerfully succinct, having really two main messages. First of all, don't be bellyaching. But second, keep your own counsel, don't give away too much information about your frustrations.
Ben was a marvel with word choice and compression.
I love his, "He who riseth late must trot all day." It's not only an admonition to get up and get doing, but also as assessment of the ill mood you are in if you don't, being prodded along like a horse being trotted against its will. But all in beautifully few words. It just sticks with you.
Needless to say, he was a brilliant guy. Though my dad would have admonished, that has already been established.

It was Samwise Gamgee, and a good quote.
“I’m screwing this cat. You just shut up & hold the whiskers”.
“I’d rather Jack off with a fist full of tacks than…”(pick a task you hate)
“Fuck you & everybody that looks like you”.
I can’t remember exactly where I picked these up over the years, but I remember them because they cracked me up. Still do & I still use them from time to time.

Well I know what stage we're in.
Anyone who enjoys quotes and things like that needs a copy of Bartlett's Familiar Quotations. I got mine for a few dollars plus shipping on Amazon many years ago. It comes in many editions and I just happened to get the fourteenth. Tons of quotes from many different writers and thinkers in various eras. I read from mine on Saturday mornings quite a bit.
Thanks, I just ordered the 15th edition for less than $8. Looking forward to it.
My father always told me that all businessmen were sons of bitches, but I never believed it till now. —- John Fitzgerald Kennedy
(Comment made 10 April 1962 in reaction to news that U.S. Steel was raising prices by $6 per ton, right after the unions negotiated a modest new contract under pressure from JFK to keep inflation down. Under enormous public and political pressure, U.S. Steel soon rescinded the 3.5% increase.)

The ignorant mind, with its infinite afflictions, passions, and evils, is rooted in the three poisons. Greed, anger, and delusion.

There’s two kinds of people in this world; the day people and the night people. It’s the night people’s job to take the day people’s money.
Where there’s one there’s more.
Cute as a button….(just never grasped the concept).
The world does owe you a living; you just have to work your ass off for it.
