In a world that’s constantly trying to change us into a mediocre machine, obedient and silent, we have obligation to excel, to rebel and to roar.

Not all TV shows are bad for you. Some have hints of greatness, quotes to ponder upon and think about your world and the world we live in. So I watch some, I learn and read, I make my bookmarks and remember the greats.

This quote is from Billions:

“Dear Monty, never give in, never give in, never, never, never, in nothing, great or small, large or petty. Never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense. And never yield to force. And never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.”

Or as great Emerson said:

“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”

― Ralph Waldo Emerson

One of my favorites, a simple quote from Churchill, although disputed if is was really him who said:

“Never, never, never give up.”
― Winston Churchill
