:smack: …Even when I use the correct punctuation of “its”.
Heh. Reminds of a button you can get that says:
I don’t need speed reading. I need speed bookcase building.
I love it and can totally relate to it. 
Not only a good line to live by but a damn fine song also…
Better to rule in hell, than serve in heaven.
And I’d hardly be living by that line if I stuck to the ‘one quote per person’ rule.
Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.
Churchill.
“Don’t give me songs; give me something to sing about.”
–Buffy Summers
Oh, we make a boast of storing,
Of saving and of keeping,
But only by ignoring
The waste of moments sleep,
The waste of pleasure weeping,
By denying and ignoring
The waste of nations warring.
OK, so I enjoy the R. Frost. Life is too complicated to sum up in one quote.
You really believe this?! On ruling, one from Karl Popper: ‘Classes never rule, any more than nations. The rulers are always certain persons. And whatever class they may have belonged to, when they are rulers they belong to the ruling class.’ (Conjectures and Refutations, 344)
“I expect to pass through this world but once; any good thing therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now; let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.”

“You might as well be a mench.”
desine fata deum flecti sperare precando
Stop hoping you will change the will of the gods by praying.
Virgil, from the Aeneid
Seneca wrote a longer version in the Epistulae Morales, but unfortunately it’s slightly longer than one line.
Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water my friend. -Bruce Lee
