Mottos To Live By Quotes

“I fail to remember ever having made an effort — no trace of struggle is detectable in my life, I am the opposite of a heroic nature. To “want” something, to “strive” for something, to have an “end,” a “desire” in mind — I know none of this from my experience. Even at this moment I look out upon my future — a broad future! — as upon a smooth sea: no desire ripples upon it.
Not in the least do I want anything to be different from what it is; I myself do not want to be any different ... But thus I have always lived.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Ecce Homo

“Never complain, never explain.”
― Sarra Manning, It Felt Like a Kiss

“The troop commander's name was Rich...[and] he was one of the best leaders I've ever known. His motto, which I've stolen from him, is, 'Nobody ever worked for me. They worked with me.”

“Our little systems have their day
They have their day and cease to be
They are but broken lights of Thee
And Thou, O L-rd, art more than they

We have but faith, we cannot know
For knowledge is of things we see
And yet we trust it comes from Thee
A beam in darkness: let it grow

Let knowledge grow from more to more
But more of reverence in us dwell
That mind and soul, according well
May make one music as before”
― Alfred Tennyson

“Three, two, one, and f*ck it!”
― Tony Le Donne

“When you see the world through the eyes of a child, everything is just fascinating. Anyone is a possible friend. Your imagination knows no bound and the world is your playground. Find the child in you.”
― Mystqx Skye, Bared - Beneath a Myriad of Skies
