"First: there are no sacred truths; all assumptions must be critically examined; arguments from authority are worthless. Second: whatever is inconsistent with the facts must be discarded or revised. We must understand the Cosmos as it is and not confuse how it is with how we wish it to be." - Carl Sagan

"I give you my revised list of the two commandments: "Thou shalt always be honest and faithful to the provider of thy nookie", and "thou shalt try real hard not to kill anyone, unless of course they pray to a different invisible man than the one you pray to". Two is all you need; Moses could have carried them down the hill in his fuckin' pocket, and I wouldn't mind those folks in Alabama posting them on the courthouse wall, as long as they provided one additional commandment: "Thou shalt keep thy religion to thyself"." - George Carlin

"So it goes." - Kurt Vonnegut

All my quotes are from dead, white men.

Sun Tzu as pretty smart too, a lot of his philosophy applies to business as well.

"Regard your soldiers as your children, and they will follow you into the deepest valleys; look on them as your own beloved sons, and they will stand by you even unto death."

"He who is prudent and lies in wait for an enemy who is not, will be victorious."
 
"I don’t take time to myself for granted. I don’t go to work without thinking about how I can do my most meaningful work. I don’t come home without thinking about how I can have the best quality time with my wife and son. I don’t go out with friends without thinking about how I can connect and share with them on a real level."
-Buster Benson

"Play is the glue that holds us together"
-Isabel Behncke

"If the sound of music could pick up tools I wonder what it would create with them"

-John Darnielle

"We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too. "
-John F. Kennedy
 
Johnny Mercer dijo:
You've got to accentuate the positive
eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
But don't mess with mister inbetween

You've got to spread joy up to the maximum
Bring gloom down to the minimum
have faith, a pandemonium
Libel to walk up on the scene

"...but 'I must fight the course.' 'Tis all that's left to me." ~ John Wilkes Booth
This quote means a lot to me, it was the last thing written in his diary, 'I must fight the course' is from Macbeth. Even though Booth was suffering from a broken leg, running from nearly every man in the nation and had a terrible cold, he continued, under the great pains of persecution he pressed on. I find it inspiring and from time to time, rewrite that same quote in my own journals.

"Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing." ~ Benjamin Franklin
Have this written on the cover of my journal.

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." ~ Thomas Jefferson
