The absence of limitations is the enemy of creativity

"An eye for an eye will only make the whole world blind." -Gandhi

Pick your battles.

“If God is all-powerful, He cannot be all good. And if He is all good, then He cannot be all-powerful.”

“You judge yourself by your intentions, but judge others by their actions”

This has helped me with my procrastination and helping to understand co-workers and people in general. Life gets busy and we always mean do get to things, but it’s really on what we actually do and complete that is real.

Success leads to stagnation; stagnation leads to failure. ... Failure leads to maturity; maturity leads to success.

You could leave life right now. Let that determine what you do and say and think. - Marcus Aurelius

"Good things come to those who wait". It has been true so many times in my life.

“He has no friends” - Dad

Once is never, twice is always.

It's better to regret something you have done than something you haven't.

My Auntie circa 1994:”Never buy meat from a man selling it out of the back of his truck.” I’m always astounded by how relavent it’s is.

P.S. she said I could quote her on this. </3

Now that your worry has proved such an unlucrative business, why not find a better job?

Basically at any given moment, any from a random assortment of Simpsons quotes. Right now it’s “but when are they gonna get to the fireworks factory?”

"be careful of what you wish for, as you may just get it"

"Think for yourself and question authority." It's on a TOOL album.

It is by doing whatever that one becomes whoever.

“Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart." - Steve Jobs

"Who controls the present controls the past. Who controls the past controls the future"

For my whole life is a tall order. Probably "what goes around comes around".

This one is from my previous boss: “you gotta do what’s good for you, and nobody else”

Taught me to prioritize things that are important to me and not to live for the sake of others

Another was “you can’t help people who don’t want to help themselves”

Taught me that some efforts are futile because unwillingness from others will result in deterioration to the status quo unless they’re willing to participate to move things forward

„Old habits die hard“

"Anything that can go wrong will (eventually) go wrong."
