    "Don't wait for someone to give you permission to succeed and achieve. Get yourself busy and do it. Don't wait for someone to tell you how to do it. Take it upon yourself to figure it out. Don't wait for just the right situation. Don't count on being lucky. Do what it takes to make your own good fortune. Learn from others. Seek the advice, input and feedback of those whose opinions you respect. But don't depend on anyone or anything to do it for you. Make the best of fortunate situations, but don't depend on luck or chance.

    Depend on those things over which you have the most direct control - your own thoughts and actions, your ability to make the choices which will lead to precisely where you have decided to go. Your destiny is in your hands. Think like it and act like it with each passing moment. Take hold of that destiny and make it the best it can possibly be." - Ralph Marston

    I heard Ricky Gervais say this on Steven Colbert's Late Show, but I don't know if it's original with him:

    "Being dead is like being stupid. It's only painful for other people."

    I'm watching Ken Burns' Vietnam documentary and this just popped up:

    "That new gung-ho officer was a clear and present danger to the life and limb of the grunts. They'd have subtle hints, like a little note saying 'We're gonna kill your ass if you keep this up.'"

    -Vincent Okamoto, US Army officer, Vietnam

    “There is no free lunch. Actions have consequences, and when you steal from others, the others no longer have what you stole from them. This is as true when this theft is from nonhumans as it is when it’s from humans.

    But, as Upton Sinclair said, “It’s hard to make a man understand something when his job depends on him not understanding it.” It’s even harder to make people understand something when their whole way of life depends on them not understanding it.”

    - Derrick Jensen
