Hello! Here are some quotes that I liked recently. Many of these quotes are from a new book, "100 Quotes That Will Change Your Life" by @librarymindset.
"Discipline is choosing between what you want now and what you want most." — Abraham Lincoln.
"No mortal man, is wise at all moments." — Pliny The Elder.
"He will never have true friends who is afraid of making enemies." — William Hazlitt.
"If you cannot decide, the answer is no." — Naval Ravikant.
"Change is hard at first, messy in the middle and gorgeous at the end." — Robin Sharma.
"Always say less than necessary" — Robert Greene.
"Asking what makes someone successful is like asking which ingredient makes a recipe taste good. It’s not any single ingredient. It is the combination of many ingredients in the right proportions and in the right order—and the absence of anything that would ruin the mixture." — James Clear.
"People's ability to save is more in their control than they might think. Savings can be created by spending less. You can spend less if you desire less. And you will desire less if you care less about what others think of you. Money relies more on psychology than finance." — Morgan Housel, in Psychology of Money.
Fault is past tense. Responsibility is present tense.
Fault results from choices that have already been made.
Responsibility is the choice that we get to make today. — Mark Manson.
This is a poem I came across in Tim Ferris' newsletter:
Autobiography in Five Short Chapters
Chapter One
I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I fall in.
I am lost... I am helpless.
It isn’t my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out.
Chapter Two
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I pretend I don’t see it.
I fall in again.
I can’t believe I am in the same place.
But, it isn’t my fault.
It still takes me a long time to get out.
Chapter Three
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I see it is there.
I still fall in…It’s a habit…but,
my eyes are open.
I know where I am.
It is my fault.
I get out immediately.
Chapter Four
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.
Chapter Five
I walk down another street.
— Portia Nelson, in There’s a Hole in My Sidewalk: The Romance of Self-Discovery
I hope you had a good weekend. Thanks for reading.
