Two for me:
-
The moment you feel tipsy it’s time to ease down. You have a stomach full of booze that’s going to make you more drunk even if you stop immediately.
-
If you think people are good, you’re probably right and if you think people are bad, you’re probably right.
People are good IMO.

That startrek quote about making no mistakes and still losing
I wonder how many here just quote themselves.
From others in general - Always invest in the things that separate you from the ground; shoes, tires, and your mattress.
From a coach I knew - Every so often sit down and make sure your actions fit with your goals. It’s easier to get off course than you think.
From my father - The Hassle Factor. A job can give you three things, enough money to make up for the time you don’t have, enough time to make up for the money you don’t have, and a sense of satisfaction. If you aren’t getting at least two of the three, the job isn’t worth the hassle.
Be a good person, not a nice person.
“Stairs are lots of little floors which makes it easier to get between the bigger floors” - Philomena Cunk
“The good things won’t be as good and the bad things won’t be as bad as the mind lead you to believe.” (Unknown source)
My experience is that the good things are often much better than i expect and it’s my thoughts that make the bad worse.
I got told something along the lines of: If I undersell my work, it’s like pissing on my own work when I sold it bellow market rates.
I got told this by an old junkie guy who got a DUI and disappeared one day.
Well with getting a DUI your labor rates are well below market rates, you may have junked your car, and you might have pissed yourself.
Might be the source of his problems but at least the guy had an ethos.
I tend to look for wisdom in films/shows the most. Here are some of my fav quotes.
-
“Everybody needs help sometimes, Peter. Even Spider-Man”- MJ (Spiderman 3)
-
“I believe there’s a hero in all of us, that keeps us honest, gives us strength, makes us noble. And finally allows us to die with pride, even though sometimes we have to be steady and give up the thing we want most—even our dreams.” - Aunt May (Spiderman 2)
-
“You gotta let go of that stuff from the past, 'cause it just doesn’t matter. The only thing that matters is what you choose to be now”- Po (Kung Fu Panda 2)

Most people on the internet are competing for who is the most contrarian.
No, we aren’t.
When someone shows you who they are, believe it the first time.
Also, if everyone you meet is nice, it’s because you’re a nice person. Conversely, if you think everyone’s an asshole, you’re the asshole.
Your second one ties right into my second one in the OP :)
The first one, I have a rule: I don’t mind if you’re a cunt to me occasionally. We’re all a cunt occasionally. As long as you come back to me and apologise it shows me that you’ve considered your behaviour and who knows what caused it.
If you don’t, I’ll cut you out of my life like the fat off a pork chop.
Two from the same guy.
Remember, you’re not sick in traffic, you are traffic.
If you don’t have time to do it correctly now, how are you going to have time to fix it later?
I’ve always hated that first one. I get the idea, but also you are stuck in traffic.
“Dude where are you? We’re late”
“I am traffic”
“What?”
In general terms, people as individuals = good. People in groups = bad.
A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky animals and you know it.
Oh yeah, they gain some courage to pick on people who are alone. Most of the nasty comments I’ve heard about me being said out loud have come from large groups when I’m just walking by and minding my own business.
Sex is like air. It’s not a big deal unless you’re not getting any.
Two TV quotes go through my head every day.
Bill Nye: Everyone you’ll ever meet knows something you don’t.
Doctor Who: Always try to be nice, but never fail to be kind.
What if you meet a Nazi?
Both quotes refer to humans. Nazis are sub human. Monsters get what they get.
Punching Nazis in the face is a kindness to those they victimize.
Kindly punch them in the face. Kindly.
Kill them with kindness.
Poop on company time.
The boss makes a hundred while I make a dime. That’s why I…
“Like your job. Love your wife.” - Dell from Trains, Planes, and Automobiles. You can generalize that to say, your job is just a means to an end. Don’t work a job you hate, but look elsewhere for true fulfillment in life.
