Jordan B. Peterson
“If you can't understand why someone is doing something, look at the consequences of their actions, whatever they might be, and then infer the motivations from their consequences.

For example if someone is making everyone around them miserable and you'd like to know why, their motive may simply be to make everyone around them miserable including themselves.”
Jordan B. Peterson

Plutarch
“Good fortune will elevate even petty minds, and gives them the appearance of a certain greatness and stateliness, as from their high place they look down upon the world; but the truly noble and resolved spirit raises itself, and becomes more conspicuous in times of disaster and ill fortune...”
Plutarch, Plutarch's Lives: Volume II

Ralph Waldo Emerson
“What is it we heartily wish of each other? Is it to be pleased and flattered? No, but to be convicted and exposed, to be shamed out of our nonsense of all kinds, and made men of, instead of ghosts and phantoms. We are weary of gliding ghostlike through the world, which is itself so slight and unreal. We crave a sense of reality, though it comes in strokes of pain.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson, The Essential Writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson

Friedrich Nietzsche
“Independence is for the very few; it is a privilege of the strong. And whoever attempts it even with the best right but without inner constraint proves that he is probably not only strong, but also daring to the point of recklessness.”
Friedrich Nietzsche, Basic Writings of Nietzsche

John Wayne
“A man oughta do what he thinks is best.”
John Wayne
