Meaningful ideas and quotes
January 7, 2016 at 7:11 pm
I started a thread on TTA with the same concept, but not sure how many here post over there. So, here is the same thread for AF. The one on TTA has been going well, it's interesting to see what ideas, and quotes move people.
I'll start...
“Nothing in the affairs of men is worthy of great anxiety.” ~Plato
''If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it enough.'' ~ Einstein

Quote:Everyone has a plan 'till they get punched in the mouth.
-Mike Tyson.
Quote:I hate luxury. I exercise moderation…It will be easy to forget your vision and purpose once you have fine clothes, fast horses and beautiful women. [In which case], you will be no better than a slave, and you will surely lose everything.
-Genghis Khan.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.

That's going straight into my lexicon.
