What’s your favourite quote/saying ?

[GreenCrocodile]

Mine fav of all time is

time you enjoy wasting, isn’t time wasted

What will you do with this your one wild and precious life?

I say this often to myself when I feel I “should” do something … will this be my precious life well spent?

Excuses make today easy, but tomorrow hard.

Lately I've been thinking about this one by Nietsche (especially the last sentence):
"He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you".

I've been doomscrolling too much...

You have chosen....poorly

Or wisely

Depends on the choice

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.

Ralph Waldo Emerson (I prefer the full version to the briefer “tomorrow is a new day”)

'Don't fight with pigs. You'll all get dirty but the pigs enjoy it.'

Don't lower yourself!

'You're not too old and it's not too late' - is my new favourite mantra.

And, brief but so lovely:

”Courage, dear heart.” - C S Lewis

Fortune favours the bold (Virgil)

I didn't come this far to only come this far.

Love that one, also it remind me of don’t cast pearls before swine

When you are going through hell, keep going.

Everyone fed, nobody dead.

Not my circus, not my monkeys

All that is necessary for evil to flourish is that good men do nothing.

Lived my life by this.

Smile, they said. Life could be worse. So I did and it was.

It's not a problem until it is .

“If it is not right, do not do it, if it is not true, do not say it.” – Marcus Aurelius

Also the poem If by Kipling.

If you have to keep it a secret, you probably shouldn’t be doing it.

Not my circus, not my monkeys.

There's no point worrying until you have something to worry about.

"Hows your father?"

"Best laid plans of mice & men"

For writers:

Stop talking about it and just write the bloody book.

And "it could be worse, it could be raining"

I love this one too- got me through my divorce!
