Ernest Hemingway in "The Old Man And The Sea" dijo:
“Now is no time to think of what you do not have. Think of what you can do with that there is”

“Let him think that I am more man than I am and I will be so.”

“But man is not made for defeat," he said. "A man can be destroyed but not defeated.”
 
anyone who has looked into the glazed eyes of a dying soldier would think twice about starting a war - Otto von Bismarck
 
'When you talk to someone in a language they know, you're talking to their head. If you talk to them in the language they grew up with, you're speaking to their heart.'- a grandmother who knows five languages
 
Ohh, some people don't like you to talk like that. Ohh, some people like to shut you up for saying those things. You know that. Lots of people. Lots of groups in this country want to tell you how to talk. Tell you what you can't talk about. Well, sometimes they'll say, well you can talk about something but you can't joke about it. Say you can't joke about something because it's not funny. Comedians run into that shit all the time.

Like rape. They'll say, "You can't joke about rape. Rape's not funny." I say, "Fuck you, I think it's hilarious. How do you like that?" I can prove to you that rape is funny. Picture Porky Pig raping Elmer Fudd. See? Hey, why do you think they call him "Porky," eh? I know what you're going to say. "Elmer was asking for it. Elmer was coming on to Porky. Porky couldn't help himself, he got a hard-on, he got horny, he lost control, he went out of his mind."
 
New one I've learned: "If it's making you feel suicidal, then stop caring about it. Nothing is worth that much."

...not that it cures suicidal depression or anything, but it's a good reminder.
 
When you get what you want in your struggle for pelf,

And the world makes you King for a day,

Then go to the mirror and look at yourself,

And see what that guy has to say.



For it isn't your Father, or Mother, or Wife,

Who judgement upon you must pass.

The feller whose verdict counts most in your life

Is the guy staring back from the glass.



He's the feller to please, never mind all the rest,

For he's with you clear up to the end,

And you've passed your most dangerous, difficult test

If the guy in the glass is your friend.



You may be like Jack Horner and "chisel" a plum,

And think you're a wonderful guy,

But the man in the glass says you're only a bum

If you can't look him straight in the eye.



You can fool the whole world down the pathway of years,

And get pats on the back as you pass,

But your final reward will be heartaches and tears

If you've cheated the guy in the glass.
 
"no harm, no foul" is my life motto really. Mistakes and accidents happen all the time, if no real problems arise and nobody is hurt, move on.

Also
"You only live twice:
Once when you are born
And once when you look death in the face"
Ian Fleming
