“ You have to be willing to sacrifice.”
Pursue what is meaningful, not what is expedient. Stand up straight with your shoulders back. Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not to who someone else is today. Treat yourself like someone you are responsible for helping. “ The purpose of life is finding the largest burden that you can bear and bearing it.” “ The more you know, the more you realize you don’t know.” “ The past is not dead. It’s not even past.” “ You can’t change the world until you change yourself.” “ You can’t be a good person if you don’t know what good is.” “ You are not only responsible for what you say, but also for what you do not say.” “ Treat yourself like someone you are responsible for helping.” Do not let your children do anything that makes you dislike them. “ You have to take responsibility for your own life.” “ If you fulfill your obligations every day, you don’t need to worry about the future.” “ You should be a monster. You should be a successful monster.” “ Pursue what is meaningful, not what is expedient.” “ Life is suffering.” “ Stand up straight with your shoulders back.” “ The truth is something that burns.” “ The world is a dangerous place.” “ What you aim at determines what you see.” “ You are the author of your own life.” “ You can’t escape your own mind.” “ You must be willing to be a fool.” “ You should be grateful for your suffering.” “ Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not to who someone else is today.” “ You must confront the chaos in your own life.” |
