Brennan Lee Mulligan
“You are a babbling fool, and we have built a temple to madness.”
Brennan Lee Mulligan

“On the plains of hesitation bleach the bones of countless millions who, at the dawn of decision, sat down to wait, and waiting died”
George W. Cecil

Muhammad Ali
“I don't count my sit-ups; I only start counting when it starts hurting because they’re the only ones that count.”
Muhammad Ali

Marcus Aurelius
“Think of your many years of procrastination; how the gods have repeatedly granted you further periods of grace, of which you have taken no advantage. It is time now to realise the nature of the universe to which you belong, and of that controlling Power whose offspring you are; and to understand that your time has a limit set to it. Use it, then, to advance your enlightenment; or it will be gone, and never in your power again.”
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

Steven Pinker
“Around 500 BCE, in what the philosopher Karl Jaspers called the Axial Age, several widely separated cultures pivoted from systems of ritual and sacrifice that merely warded off misfortune to systems of philosophical and religious belief that promoted selflessness and promised spiritual transcendence.”
Steven Pinker, Enlightenment Now: The Case for Reason, Science, Humanism, and Progress
