No matter how bad they seem, they can't be any better, and they can't be any worse, because that's the way things (profanity) are, and you better get used to it Nancy. Quit your bitching
If you fight with a pig, you both get dirty. And the pig loves it.

"Japanese soul and Western knowledge" - Yoshikawa Tadayasu
Samurai level of discipline applied together with the study of Western knowledge and technology is a deadly combination, as seen in the utter destruction of Russian Navy in the Battle of Tsushima after learning Western military tactics for just forty years.
Applied this motto at a personal level in modern age means the daily practice of bushido, Art of War, Confucianism and a form of Japanese TMA such as Kyokushin or Kodokan and the study of various Western disciplines as much mathematics, engineering, economics, finance, science etc. And become the apex in the chosen field of discipline and then bring the knowledge back to East Asia to create a better and more advanced Sinosphere.

My 2 favourites…
My dad always says "Most of life's decisions are either important or urgent, make sure to do the important ones first"
And the one my swim coach always told me…"We all start even, its the finishing that counts"
New International Version
I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. - Apostle Paul"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a Child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others." Marianne Williamson. It was used by Nelson Mandela in his speech.
it's not the size, it's how you use it.
Motto of the day: NEVER make eye contact when eating a banana! :(
Not the best movie ever but there was a nice quote in Tomorrowland…
There are two wolves who are always fighting.
One is darkness and despair.
The other is light and hope.
The question is: which wolf wins?The one you feed.
Context was that the daughter grew up with her dad telling her this line and she was saying it back to him as he was feeling uncertain about the future/current job.
It is easier to ask forgiveness than permission.
Procrastination is the key!
Where there is a will to conquer a man, there is a way to conquer a man? o.O
Didn't she also say something along the line:
if you love something, set it in a small cage and pester it until it either gives in to your emotional blackmail or is broken beyond repair?
o.O
You're such a drama queen, my Love. Trust me. Nothing bad's going to happen to you :)
