Words To Learn and Live By

These words to live by are from a tattered notebook of quotes written down many, many years ago.

I have no idea who should receive credit for these, but I read, re-read, and try to internalize the truths contained within them:


"The power of accurate observation is frequently called cynicism by those who do not have it."
"Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."
"All truth passes through 3 stages:
First, it is ridiculed
Second, it is violently opposed
Third, it is accepted as being self-evident."
"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win!"
"While we are postponing, life speeds by."
"The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good."

Learn it. Know it. Live it!
(mine)

Ultra posse nemo obligatur
"Nobody is bound by ability"
