“Whenever you are about to find fault with someone, ask yourself the following question: What fault of mine most nearly resembles the one I am about to criticize?”
― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
“Every so often, we all gaze into the abyss. It’s a depressing fact of life that eventually the clock expires; eventually the sand in the hourglass runs out. It’s the leaving behind of everything that matters to us that hurts the most.”
—Ben Shapiro
“The past is never dead. It's not even past. All of us labor in webs spun long before we were born, webs of heredity and environment, of desire and consequence, of history and eternity.”
— William Faulkner
“The centre of me is always and eternally in terrible pain ... A searching for something beyond what the world contains, something transfiguring and infinite.”
― Bertrand Russell
“Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth
-- more than ruin
-- more even than death....
Thought is subversive and revolutionary,
destructive and terrible,
thought is merciless to privilege,
established institutions,
and comfortable habit.
Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid.
Thought is great and swift and free,
the light of the world, and the chief glory of man.”
― Bertrand Russell
the Four Rules for living, as told in a novel by Louis Lamour..
1- never stand when you can sit.
2- never sit when you can lie down.
3- eat when there's food.
4- sleep when there's time.
I would add -"burn one when you can."
"Don't plant your bad days. They grow into weeks. The weeks grow into months. Before you know it, you've got yourself a bad year. Take it from me -- choke those bad days. Choke 'em down to nothin'. They're your bad days. Choke 'em!" -- Tom Waits
“I think after a certain amount, I’m going to give almost everything I have to charity. What else can you do with it? You can’t spend it, even if you try. I’ve been trying.”
– Larry Ellison
