Sloth makes all things difficult; industry all easy. -fortune cookie (this one came at just the right time back in 2016. It had such a profiund impact on me to get back in the game and start swinging again. I still have it taped to my keyboard as a constant reminder.)

Man is made or unmade by himself. -James Allen (I have been reciting this piece and the portion that follows from As A Man Thinketh almost daily for the past 6 years.)

This is the quote that completely changed my outlook on life and how I perceive others. It also helped me understand that it's alright not to try and change others opinions or beliefs based on what you feel is best.

"You are you, and I am me, we are not the same, and that's okay."

I was on a short flight once and wrote down over 100 one-liners that resonate and guide me. I think my hobby is collecting one-liners. I don’t know where to begin narrowing it down to the one that’s had the most impact.

Here’s a few that might help people:

“What if you already know enough?” (Craig Desorcey)

“Money is proof you helped your fellow man.” (MJ)

“The most important formula in business is R+R=Profit.” (Blaise Brosnan)

“It’s a journey, and it doesn’t happen overnight.” (Blaise Brosnan)

“Sales is a screening process.” (Blaise Brosnan)

“Help the people in motion.” (Amy Hoy)

Each of these was an aha moment.

I’ve so many I could go for an hour or more...
I particularly like "Help the people in motion."

I searched a long time for ways to make money online. Looking for that step-by-step guide to make me rich, but someone hit me with this which helped me wake up:

"If there was a step-by-step blueprint to guaranteed wealth, don't you think everyone would do that?"

"What you want, wants you."

Not sure if I understand what this means or the original context of the quote. If I want riches and women, I'll end up having them? :rofl:

Love this thread. A couple that come to mind...

"You may be right or you may be wrong - you may not be uncertain."

- An old Martial Arts Sensei

"You want to be somewhere between sane and absolutely crazy."
- An old English Professor

"Being realistic is the most commonly traveled road to mediocrity."
- Will Smith

"A dollar made is a dollar earned. If a poor man has no money, then he hasn't learned."
- ???

"FOCUS - because without it, everything is a blur."
- ???

"Dreams don't work unless you do."
- ???

"Anything is possible if you've got enough nerve."
- JK Rowling

"It is better to risk boldness than triviality."
- Peter Thiel

"Don't wish it were easier - wish you were better."
- Jack Daly (originally Jim Rohn)

"Get in, we've got shit to do."
- Expedia Engineer's T-Shirt

"If you want to have an interesting life you must be an interesting person. To be an interesting person, you must do interesting things. To do interesting things, you must step away from the crowd and take drastic action."

And the one that has been on my mind a lot lately as I'm in the process of quitting my job for fastlane pursuit...

"All it takes is a tremendous amount of courage"

Life is like a grindstone. Whether it polishes you up or grinds you down depends on what you're made of.

and...

The optimist proclaims we live in the best of all possible worlds; the pessimist fears this is true.

"Discipline equals freedom." ~ Jocko Willink
"The disciplined are free." ~ J.C. Penney
"Through discipline comes freedom." ~ Aristotle

Discipline/commitment/follow-through might just be one of the most important things. Good quotes.

“Make hay while the sun shines” probably some business genius but passed on by my Dad.

“If you’re about to be hit by a car, jump” from a random police show I was watching after my bedtime as a young man.

“While you were sitting around, waiting, doing nish, I was out, making moves” Michael Moon, a character from a terrible UK soap. He’s actually talking about a dodgy scheme to kill somebody I think but I like the quote regardless.

“If you’re in bed and need to piss, just go as soon as you realise as it’s not going to disappear and you’ll end up having to go anyway so don’t prolong the inevitable” a random poster on another forum I visit. Great advice which I remember every time.

"Pretend that everyone else is hemmed in by predetermination but that you, and you alone, have been given free-will."
- Ryan Holiday's blog / Bertrand Russel?

This quote lowered my social anxiety and made it much harder to get angry or frustrated at someone.

I posted this in the Quote of the Day thread but this one always strikes me deep to the core because we really take things for granted in life.
"You're going to die"
