Working Quotes that Have Helped You.

[wyfbane]

I am so fucking mad that Charlie Kirk got shot i need you guys to distract me.

What are some great quotes, not necessarily famous people quotes, that you have come to value?

Here are 3 I use for dating/family:

If they'll do it for you, they'll do it to you.

In any relationship, the most you can expect is 80% of what you need. Don't get caught up chasing that 20%.

If you raise your kids, you'll be friends with your grandkids. If you are friends with your kids, you'll raise your grandkids.

 

[cynyr]

The word is that he has passed.

The only quote that springs to mind is this:

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."​

Love thy neighbor.
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.

My manner of thinking, so you say, cannot be approved. Do you suppose I care? A poor fool indeed is he who adopts a manner of thinking for others!

"All it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing."

I'm inspired to keep this restricted to non-famous people:

"How can you have self esteem when you don't know yourself? Esteem in what?" -my wife

"Alcohol loosens the mouth to accommodate the foot." -my dad

"He played like a schmuck!" -my grandfather, in regard to Jean Van de Velde's collapse at the 1999 British Open.

If you raise your kids, you'll be friends with your grandkids. If you are friends with your kids, you'll raise your grandkids.

Take care of yourself tools and they will take care of you.

“Don’t confuse me with the facts” !

 

[dottlejockey]

RIP Charlie. Watching to see the facts as they come out with great interest.

My dad when it was concrete pouring day, "All i wanna see is assholes and elbows." Good ole get-your-ass-to-work mentality taught me a healthy work ethic from a young age that applies well to all you do in life if you want any measure of success in it.
