Sayings which you find profound

[Tenacious E]

I have two.

The first is choose the pain you want or the pain will choose you. I heard this in the context of financial advice in making a tough choice with no great options, but it applies to everything. It really had me thinking about health as I stare down 50 this summer. I can choose the pain of working out and such, or some type of pain will choose me eventually down the road. You can apply this to almost any short term/long term choice you have to make, whether it is dealing with the environment, health, or finances.

The other is there are long days and fast years. There are many long days with kids, especially when they are very young, but damn, the years go fast.

3. If you don't believe that people hew strongly to irrational opinions and are sometimes not worth trying to persuade, try telling somebody their baby is ugly.

Don’t shit where you eat.

Someone always has it worse than you.

The grass isn’t always greener.

It’s not whether you get knocked down, it’s whether you get back up.

There’s no substitute for guts.

Don’t trust whitey.

[irunlikeAcieEarl]

A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both. These basic precepts are not lofty abstractions, far removed from matters of daily living. They are laws of spiritual strength that generate and define our material strength.

If it doesn't fit you must acquit.

It takes a lifetime building up your credibility and only minutes to destroy it.

Similarly, don't let a choice you make in the next seconds ruin the rest of your life. I heard this uttered in the context of heated moments, whether it be family strife or road rage.

on the other hand, if it's not worth worrying about five years from now, it's not worth worrying about.

 

[Tenacious E]

on the other hand, if it's not worth worrying about five years from now, it's not worth worrying about.

And on yet another hand, luck is the residue of design.

I have a few.

1. Life is lived forward, but learned backwards.
2. If you want to shine in front of everyone, you have to work in front of no one.
3. Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.
4. Winners focus on winning, losers bitch about winners.
5. Comparison is the thief of joy.

As Yogi Berra once said, "When you get to a fork in the road, take it."

 

[Tenacious E]

Players make plays, and losers lose. That's my philosophy on sports, and ties into another that recruits are like a tube of tooth paste. Any given year there are only so many playmakers to spread around, and if you don't get them, you will lose. See, e.g., Georgia, Alabama, Michigan, and OSU.

Use them in that proportion.

If you're not at the table, you’re on the menu.

That's pretty f*cking true. Good one.
