Life mottos
These are some short bursts of text that really resonate with my way of life:
“The sole meaning of life is to serve humanity.”―Leo Tolstoy
“It’s harder to be kind than clever.” — Ryan Holiday (source)
No me resigno a que, cuando yo muera, siga el mundo como si yo no hubiera vivido — Pedro Arrupe sj
“A goal without a plan is just a wish.” — Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
“It’s kind of fun to do the impossible” — Walt Disney
“Lots of people dream big and talk about big bold ideas but never do anything. I judge people by what they’ve done. The ratio of something to nothing is infinite. So just do something.” — Peter Diamandis
The Holocaust was legal. Slavery was legal. Segregation was legal. The brave woman who cared for and hid my 6 year-old aunt in an attic in Budapest was a criminal. She broke the law by sheltering Juden. Legality is not a guide for morality. — misterbumface
“Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply.” — Stephen R. Covey
“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” — Winston Churchill
“The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing.” — Henry Ford
Most of us live our lives by accident — we live as it happens. Fulfilment comes when we live our lives on purpose — Simon Sinek
“You might not think that programmers are artists, but programming is an extremely creative profession. It’s logic-based creativity.”— John Romero
If owning a gun was an effective means of self-defense, your insurance rates would go down when you bought one. But they go up, because actuaries have proven that you’re far, far more likely to shoot yourself or a family member than someone attacking you. — Julien Devereux
