Quotes that Impact You. (Explain Why)

Only one quote in this world has truly affected my ideology, and probably stopped me from doing stupid shit countless times.

"There's a difference between bad-ass and dumb-ass"

It may seem silly to you, but it really affected me. Truly words to live by.

"No matter how good something is, there will always be people who hate it. No matter how bad something is, there will always be people who condone it."
Dad

I think the saying that hass affected me the most is:

"You have no idea what a person can do by pure will power"

Its simply my belief (or rather opinion) that if you just work hard enough you will accomplish great things, it all depends of your will power.
Asuming that you do what you have the will power to do, wich may be a strange thing to say as if you have enough will power you will do everything you can to do it.

My hope have been and maybe still are that if I work hard enough I will sooner or later win, a victory huge enough for people to praise me, accept me, see me in a good light... if I just work har enough they will notice me...

"This is a world of compensations; and he who would be no slave, must consent to have no slave. Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves; and, under a just God, can not long retain it." -Abraham Lincoln

Reminds me of the ongoing "warfare" over gun rights. And how there are those who would take away a basic human right to defend against tyranny.

The cake is a lie.

For every door you open, two are closed and 3 are revealed.
-Our church's pastor

"I find it really hard to write about things that to me don't mean anything. The words mean everything to me because they come from me. Even if some people think it's nonsense, I can't stop myself from doing it" - Tom Smith

"But again, truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty you need only look into a mirror." - V


I have a saying of my own, which is kind of inspired by the 1st quote in my personal experience:
