Rodolfo Novak, the co-founder of the startup CoinKite sent out a Bitcoin transaction to Bloomberg columnist Elaine Ou from Toronto Canada to San Francisco, California. The current feat is quite remarkable given how dependent our current system of banking is on the internet.

“You will never have a greater or lesser dominion than that over yourself…
the height of a man’s success is gauged by his self-mastery;
the depth of his failure by his self-abandonment. …
And this law is the expression of eternal justice.
He who cannot establish dominion over himself will have no dominion over others.”
Leonardo da Vinci
“Freedom is not attained through the satisfaction of desires, but through the suppression of desires.”
Epictetus
“The day you realise what small, incremental progress can achieve over a period of time, you would agree that SMALL is actually BIG, very BIG !!
If you increase your daily productivity by just 1%, you end up doing 37.7 times more work by the end of the year – yes 37.7 times.
1 x 1 x 1…..365 times = 1 1.01 x 1.01 x 1.01 …… 365 times = 37.7
Same way, Financial Freedom Planning is just the beginning.
But only those who continue to go through the grind, track their financial freedom journey month on month – for years together, manifest the true power of SMALL !”
Manoj Arora, “Dream On”
“More men are beaten than fail.
It is not wisdom they need or money, or brilliance, or “pull,” but just plain gristle and bone.
This rude, simple, primitive power which we call “stick-to-it-iveness” is the uncrowned king of the world of endeavour.
People are utterly wrong in their slant upon things.
They see the successes that men have made and somehow they appear to be easy.
But that is a world away from the facts.
It is failure that is easy.
Success is always hard.
A man can fail in ease; he can succeed only by paying out all that he has and is.”
Henry Ford, “My Life and Work”

“Whether our action is wholesome or unwholesome depends on whether that action or deed arises from a disciplined or undisciplined state of mind.
It is felt that a disciplined mind leads to happiness and an undisciplined mind leads to suffering, and in fact it is said that bringing about discipline within one’s mind is the essence of the Buddha’s teaching.”

“If you wish to be out front, then act as if you were behind.”

“The overman…
Who has organized the chaos of his passions, given style to his character, and become creative.
Aware of life’s terrors, he affirms life without resentment. ”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“Is it surprising that the cellular prison, with its regular chronologies, forced labour, its authorities of surveillance and registration, its experts in normality, who continue and multiply the functions of the judge, should have become the modern instrument of penality?
Is it surprising that prisons resemble factories, schools, barracks, hospitals, which all resemble prisons?”
Michel Foucault
“When I was a boy of seven or eight I read a novel untitled “Abafi” — The Son of Aba — a Servian translation from the Hungarian of Josika, a writer of renown.
The lessons it teaches are much like those of “Ben Hur,” and in this respect it might be viewed as anticipatory of the work of Wallace.
The possibilities of will-power and self-control appealed tremendously to my vivid imagination, and I began to discipline myself.
Had I a sweet cake or a juicy apple which I was dying to eat I would give it to another boy and go through the tortures of Tantalus, pained but satisfied.
Had I some difficult task before me which was exhausting I would attack it again and again until it was done.
So I practiced day by day from morning till night.
At first it called for a vigorous mental effort directed against disposition and desire, but as years went by the conflict lessened and finally my will and wish became identical.”
Nikola Tesla
“It is not more vacation we need — it is more vocation.”
Eleanor Roosevelt
“Words, words, words.

Dostoyevsky
“If I feel like it and if I can be bothered to, I will talk to you about the notion of “repression,” which has, I think, the twofold disadvantage, in the use that is made of it, of making obscure reference to a certain theory of sovereignty—the theory of the sovereign rights of the individual—and of bringing into play, when it is used, a whole set of psychological references borrowed from the human sciences, or in other words from discourses and practices that relate to the disciplinary domain.
I think that the notion of “repression” is still, whatever critical use we try to make of it, a juridico-disciplinary notion; and to that extent the critical use of the notion of “repression” is tainted, spoiled, and rotten from the outset because it implies both a juridical reference to sovereignty and a disciplinary reference to normalization.”
Michel Foucault, “Society Must Be Defended: Lectures at the Collège de France” (1975-1976)
“More men are beaten than fail.

“Student – “It is not that I do not delight in your Way, Master, it is simply that my strength is insufficient.”
Confucius – “Someone whose strength is genuinely insufficient collapses somewhere along the Way. As for you, you deliberately draw the line.”
Confucius
“You put a hard question on the virtue of discipline.
What you say is true: I do value it—and I think that you do too—more than for its earthly fruit, proficiency.
I think that one can give only a metaphysical ground for this evaluation; but the variety of metaphysics which gave an answer to your question has been very great, the metaphysics themselves very disparate: the bhagavad gita, Ecclesiastes, the Stoa, the beginning of the Laws, Hugo of St Victor, St Thomas, John of the Cross, Spinoza.
This very great disparity suggests that the fact that discipline is good for the soul is more fundamental than any of the grounds given for its goodness.
I believe that through discipline, though not through discipline alone, we can achieve serenity, and a certain small but precious measure of freedom from the accidents of incarnation, and charity, and that detachment which preserves the world which it renounces.
I believe that through discipline we can learn to preserve what is essential to our happiness in more and more adverse circumstances, and to abandon with simplicity what would else have seemed to us indispensable; that we come a little to see the world without the gross distortion of personal desire, and in seeing it so, accept more easily our earthly privation and its earthly horror—But because I believe that the reward of discipline is greater than its immediate objective, I would not have you think that discipline without objective is possible: in its nature discipline involves the subjection of the soul to some perhaps minor end; and that end must be real, if the discipline is not to be factitious.
Therefore I think that all things which evoke discipline: study, and our duties to men and to the commonwealth, war, and personal hardship, and even the need for subsistence, ought to be greeted by us with profound gratitude, for only through them can we attain to the least detachment;
and only so can we know peace.”
J. Robert Oppenheimer
“Because I have no natural gifts, shall I on that account give up my discipline?
Far be it from me!
Epictetus will not be better than Socrates, but if only I am not worse, that suffices me.
For I shall not be a Milo, either, and yet I do not neglect my body, nor a Croesus, and yet I do not neglect my property, nor, in a word, is there any other field in which we give up the appropriate discipline merely from despair of attaining the highest.”
Epictetus, Epictetus The Discourses as Reported By Arrian. Vol. I. Books 1 and 2 With an English Translation By W. A. Oldfather
“We are, each of us, largely responsible for what gets put into our brains, for what, as adults, we wind up caring for and knowing about.
No longer at the mercy of the reptile brain, we can change ourselves.”
Carl Sagan, “Cosmos”
“Take students today
They are in some ways freer than they were 60 years ago in their attitudes and commitments and so on.
On the other hand they are more disciplined.
They are disciplined by debt.
Part of the reasoning for arranging education so you come out with heavy debt is so you are disciplined.
Take the last 20 years—the neo-liberal years roughly—a very striking part of what is called “globalization” is just aimed at discipline.
It wants to eliminate freedom of choice and impose discipline.
How do you do that?
Well, if you’re a couple in the U.S. now, each working 50 hours a week to put food on the table, you don’t have time to think about how to become a libertarian socialist.
When what you are worried about is “how can I get food on the table?” or “I’ve got kids to take care of, and when they are sick I’ve got to go to work and what’s going to happen to them?”
Those are very well-designed techniques of imposing discipline.”
Noam Chomsky, “Chomsky On Anarchism”
“Each day you must choose, the pain of discipline or the pain of regret.”
Eric Mangini
“Revolutionary’ discipline depends on political consciousness – on an understanding of why orders must be obeyed; it takes time to diffuse this, but it also takes time to drill a man into an automaton on the barrack-square.”
George Orwell, “Homage to Catalonia”
“What is generally known as discipline in traditional schools is not activity, but immobility and silence.
It is not discipline, but something that festers inside a child, arousing his rebellious feelings.”
Maria Montessori, “Creative Development in the Child: The Montessori Approach, Volume One”
“As you grow in true spiritual power and understanding you will actually find that many outer rules and regulations will become unnecessary; but this will be because you have really risen above them; never, never, because you have fallen below them.
This point in your development, where your understanding of Truth enables you to dispense with certain outer props and regulations, is the Spiritual Coming of Age.
When you really are no longer spiritually a minor, you will cease to need some of the outer observances that formerly seemed indispensable; but your resulting life will be purer, truer, freer, and less selfish than it was before; and that is the test.”
Emmet Fox, “The Sermon on the Mount: The Key to Success in Life”
“Discipline is choosing between what you want now, and what you want most.”
Abraham Lincoln
“Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines, practiced every day.”
Jim Rohn
“Discipline is the foundation upon which all success is built.
Lack of discipline inevitably leads to failure.”

Frank Herbert
“Lack of discipline leads to frustration and self-loathing.”
Marie Chapian
To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one’s family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one’s own mind.
If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.
Gautama Buddha
“Genius is the capacity for receiving and improving by discipline.”

Bitcoin white paper turns 15 and the Legacy of Satoshi Nakamoto lives on.
“I’ve been working on a new electronic cash system that’s fully peer-to-peer, with no trusted third party,” Satoshi Oct. 31, 2008.

The white paper was proposing a decentralized system that could facilitate peer-to-peer transactions, which could solve the “double spending” problem often associated with digital currency.
This was achieved via a network of nodes to validate and record transactions through a proof-of-work consensus mechanism, launching just two months later on Jan. 3, 2009.
How Bitcoin was brought to life
Satoshi’s computer science breakthrough came on the back of other impressive developments in the cryptography and e-money spaces.
The first reference cited in the Bitcoin white paper is Wei Dai’s invention of B-money, an electronic peer-to-peer cash system that never launched but nonetheless played a key role in Satoshi’s plans for Bitcoin.
Like Bitcoin, B-money proposed that participants in the system maintain a database of account balances, which keep track of the ownership of money.
Transactions would be initiated and completed by a broadcast message to all participants, which would update the account balances of those involved in a specific transaction.
In many ways, it could be seen as a precursor to the nodes of Bitcoin’s protocol, which keep a record of the constantly growing blockchain.
This process requires proof-of-work, a form of cryptographic proof in which one party proves to others that a certain amount of a specific computational effort has been expended.
Satoshi implemented this into Bitcoin, citing Adam Back’s invention of Hashcash in 1997, which incorporated proof-of-work to limit email spam and denial-of-service attacks.

“People who are unable to motivate themselves must be content with mediocrity, no matter how great their other talents.”
Andrew Carnegie
“Mediocrity knows nothing higher than itself; but talent instantly recognizes genius.”
Arthur Conan Doyle, “The Valley of Fear”
“Idleness is fatal only to the mediocre.”
Albert Camus
“In the republic of mediocrity, genius is dangerous.”
Robert G. Ingersoll
“Life without madness is mediocrity.”
Nelou Keramati
“People don’t want to think.
And the deeper they get into trouble, the less they want to think.
But by some sort of instinct, they feel that they ought to and it makes them feel guilty.
So they’ll bless and follow anyone who gives them a justification for not thinking.
Anyone who makes a virtue – a highly intellectual virtue – out of what they know to be their sin, their weakness and their guilt…
They envy achievement, and their dream of greatness is a world where all men have become their acknowledged inferiors.
They don’t know that that dream is the infallible proof of mediocrity, because that sort of world is what the man of achievement would not be able to bear”
Ayn Rand, “Atlas Shrugged”
“The highest level than can be reached by a mediocre but experienced mind is a talent for uncovering the weaknesses of those greater than itself.”
Georg Christoph Lichtenberg
“Get off the treadmill of consumption, replication, and mediocrity.
Begin lifting the weights of creativity, originality, and success.”
Ryan Lilly
“The statistics all point towards the same conclusion: we have a global outbreak of fuckarounditis.”
Martin Berkhan “The Leangains Method: The Art of Getting Ripped. Researched, Practiced, Perfected.”
“Nietzsche talked about “good and bad” in the context of nobility.
The nobles regarded the exceptional as good and the mediocre as bad.
When the “good and bad” of the nobility was replaced by the “good and evil” of the mob, exceptionalism was declared evil, and mediocrity was sanctified.
The holy mediocrities are now everywhere.
The kingdom of mediocrity is absolute …
absolute shit!”
David Sinclair “The Wolf Tamers: How They Made the Strong Weak”
“There’s nothing brave in pushing myself to the edge of my comfort zone.
Bravery is about refusing to be in any kind of comfort zone in the first place.”
Craig D. Lounsbrough
“Whenever a book or poem is making a great commotion, you should remember that whoever writes for fools always finds a large audience.”
Arthur Schopenhauer “Religion: a Dialogue”
“Mediocre people promote mediocrity.
Dont hire mediocre people.
Instead, hire people who strive for greatness and they’ll spread that greatness throughout the company.”
Hendrith Vanlon Smith Jr, CEO of Mayflower-Plymouth
“Mediocrity is never a desirable destination….
At least, not when practice might transform mediocrity to competence, or even skill.’
Napoleon Bonapart”
Allison Pataki “The Queen’s Fortune”
“When leaders tolerate mediocrity, it’s a cancer that spreads like wildfire.”
Frank Sonnenberg “Listen to Your Conscience: That’s Why You Have One”
“The death of quality foreshadows the death of humanity.
What is the point of humanity if it does not produce the highest quality and excellence?
A humanity that is not ascending is descending.
As it is, the crushing weight of averageness and mediocrity presses down on everything and makes all high things flat, drab and dull.
All the tall poppies have to die.
The only tall poppies the mediocre like are those associated with wealth, beauty and fame.
They despise the intelligent, the artistic and the technical.”
Joe Dixon “The Irresistible Rise of Mediocre Man: The War On Excellence”
“We can choose to believe in ourselves, and thus to strive, to risk, to persevere, and to achieve.
Or we can choose to cling to security and mediocrity.
We can choose to set no limits on ourselves, to set high goals and dream big dreams.
We can use those dreams to fuel our spirits with passion.”
Bob Rotella “How Champions Think: In Sports and in Life”
“The greatest enemy of enlightenment is “common sense”.
In day-today life, common sense “works”, which is why ordinary people revere it.
Most managers in the workplace are good at common sense i.e. knowing how to play the system, to obey the rules, to pander to higher managers, to avoid radical ideas, to highlight their modest successes and blame others for their failures, and to stick firmly within the domain of the conventional, acceptable and uncontroversial.
Unfortunately, they’re hopeless at everything else.
All geniuses, on the other hand, can “see” far beyond the realm of common sense.
They use imagination, intuition and visionary ideas as their guides, not the trivialities of common sense.
What would you rather be – a middle manager with a comfortable common sense life, or a genius who has unlocked the door to the mysteries of existence?
Tragically for humanity, most people aspire to be middle managers.
That’s the extent of their ambition, that’s as far as their horizons stretch.
These are the sort of people that Nietzsche scornfully branded as “Last Men.”
Adam Weishaupt “The Illuminati’s Six Dimensional Universe”
“Nothing is good but mediocrity.
The majority has settled that, and finds fault with him who escapes it at whichever end.”
Blaise Pascal “Pensées”
“I no longer follow the voices of the sane.
I follow the ill because they see farther, feel much more and change what the sane will not.
This is the paradox of philosophers—trying to understand mass delusion among great people that have faith and knowledge, yet they can’t graduate from their institutions of religious theology to apply the knowledge they have gained for the shifting of Zion—- from words to action;
from comfort to uncomfortable;
from self serving to self giving;
from competition to supporting;
to tradition to unity;
from bias to acceptance;

“Mediocrity is always in a rush; but whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing with consideration.
For genius is nothing more nor less than doing well what anyone can do badly.”
Amelia E. Barr
“Acceptable hypocrisy is often called politeness.”
Shannon L. Alder
“You will always feel insignificant if you never do anything to change the world or another person’s life, other than your own.”

“Caution is the path to mediocrity.
Gliding, passionless mediocrity is all that most people think they can achieve.”
Frank Herbert “God Emperor of Dune”
“I’m going to rub your faces in things you try to avoid.
I don’t find it strange that all you want to believe is only that which comforts you.
How else do humans invent the traps which betray us into mediocrity?

Time is the continued sequence of existence and events that occurs in an apparently irreversible succession from the past, through the present, into the future.
It is a component quantity of various measurements used to sequence events, to compare the duration of events or the intervals between them, and to quantify rates of change of quantities in material reality or in the conscious experience.
Time is often referred to as a fourth dimension, along with three spatial dimensions.
Time is one of the seven fundamental physical quantities in both the International System of Units (SI) and International System of Quantities. The SI base unit of time is the second, which is defined by measuring the electronic transition frequency of caesium atoms.
General relativity is the primary framework for understanding how spacetime works. Through advances in both theoretical and experimental investigations of spacetime, it has been shown that time can be distorted and dilated, particularly at the edges of black holes.
Throughout history, time has been an important subject of study in religion, philosophy, and science.
Temporal measurement has occupied scientists and technologists and was a prime motivation in navigation and astronomy.
Time is also of significant social importance, having economic value (“time is money”) as well as personal value, due to an awareness of the limited time in each day and in human life spans
“Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.”
Marthe Troly-Curtin, “Phrynette Married”
“Don’t waste your time in anger, regrets, worries, and grudges.
Life is too short to be unhappy.”
Roy T. Bennett
“How did it get so late so soon?”
Dr. Seuss
“For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be.
There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want.
You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing.
We can make the best or the worst of it.
I hope you make the best of it.
And I hope you see things that startle you.
I hope you feel things you never felt before.
I hope you meet people with a different point of view.
I hope you live a life you’re proud of.
If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the courage to start all over again.”
Eric Roth, “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button Screenplay”
“I sit beside the fire and think Of all that I have seen Of meadow flowers and butterflies In summers that have been
Of yellow leaves and gossamer In autumns that there were With morning mist and silver sun And wind upon my hair
I sit beside the fire and think Of how the world will be When winter comes without a spring That I shall ever see
For still there are so many things That I have never seen In every wood in every spring There is a different green
I sit beside the fire and think Of people long ago And people that will see a world That I shall never know
But all the while I sit and think Of times there were before I listen for returning feet And voices at the door”
J.R.R. Tolkien
“Time is an illusion.”
Albert Einstein
“You may delay, but time will not.”
Benjamin Franklin
“Time is a game played beautifully by children.”
Heraclitus, “Fragments”
“It is by no means an irrational fancy that, in a future existence, we shall look upon what we think our present existence, as a dream.”
Edgar Allan Poe
“Time isn’t precious at all, because it is an illusion.
What you perceive as precious is not time but the one point that is out of time:
the Now.
That is precious indeed.
The more you are focused on time—past and future—the more you miss the Now, the most precious thing there is.”
Eckhart Tolle, “The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment”
“The time will come when diligent research over long periods will bring to light things which now lie hidden.
A single lifetime, even though entirely devoted to the sky, would not be enough for the investigation of so vast a subject…
And so this knowledge will be unfolded only through long successive ages.
There will come a time when our descendants will be amazed that we did not know things that are so plain to them…
Many discoveries are reserved for ages still to come, when memory of us will have been effaced.”
Seneca, “Natural Questions”
“Fantasy, if it’s really convincing, can’t become dated, for the simple reason that it represents a flight into a dimension that lies beyond the reach of time.”
Walt Disney
The Universe is very, very big.
It also loves a paradox.
For example, it has some extremely strict rules.
Rule number one:
Nothing lasts forever.
Not you or your family or your house or your planet or the sun.
It is an absolute rule.
Therefore when someone says that their love will never die, it means that their love is not real, for everything that is real dies.
Rule number two:
Everything lasts forever.”
Craig Ferguson, “Between the Bridge and the River”
“Punctuality is the thief of time.”
Oscar Wilde
“the tired sunsets and the tired people – it takes a lifetime to die and no time at all.”
Charles Bukowski
“The wisest are the most annoyed at the loss of time.”
Dante Alighieri
“Time is precious, but truth is more precious than time.”
Benjamin Disraeli
“Do not wait: the time will never be ‘just right’.
Start where you stand, and work whatever tools you may have at your command and better tools will be found as you go along.”
Napoleon Hill
The role played by time at the beginning of the universe is, I believe, the final key to removing the need for a Grand Designer, and revealing how the universe created itself. …
Time itself must come to a stop.
You can’t get to a time before the big bang, because there was no time before the big bang.
We have finally found something that does not have a cause because there was no time for a cause to exist in.
For me this means there is no possibility of a creator because there is no time for a creator to have existed.
Since time itself began at the moment of the Big Bang, it was an event that could not have been caused or created by anyone or anything. …
So when people ask me if a god created the universe, I tell them the question itself makes no sense.
Time didn’t exist before the Big Bang, so there is no time for God to make the universe in.
It’s like asking for directions to the edge of the Earth.
The Earth is a sphere.
It does not have an edge, so looking for it is a futile exercise.”
Stephen W. Hawking
“Realize deeply that the present moment is all you will ever have.”
Eckhart Tolle
“A man is the sum of his misfortunes.
One day you’d think misfortune would get tired but then time is your misfortune.”
William Faulkner, “The Sound and the Fury”
“Nothing endures but change.”
Heraclitus
If you imagine the 4,500-bilion-odd years of Earth’s history compressed into a normal earthly day, then life begins very early, about 4 A.M., with the rise of the first simple, single-celled organisms, but then advances no further for the next sixteen hours.
Not until almost 8:30 in the evening, with the day five-sixths over, has Earth anything to show the universe but a restless skin of microbes.
Then, finally, the first sea plants appear, followed twenty minutes later by the first jellyfish and the enigmatic Ediacaran fauna first seen by Reginald Sprigg in Australia.
At 9:04 P.M. trilobites swim onto the scene, followed more or less immediately by the shapely creatures of the Burgess Shale.
Just before 10 P.M. plants begin to pop up on the land. Soon after, with less than two hours left in the day, the first land creatures follow.
Thanks to ten minutes or so of balmy weather, by 10:24 the Earth is covered in the great carboniferous forests whose residues give us all our coal, and the first winged insects are evident.
Dinosaurs plod onto the scene just before 11 P.M. and hold sway for about three-quarters of an hour.
At twenty-one minutes to midnight they vanish and the age of mammals begins.
Humans emerge one minute and seventeen seconds before midnight.
The whole of our recorded history, on this scale, would be no more than a few seconds, a single human lifetime barely an instant.
Throughout this greatly speeded-up day continents slide about and bang together at a clip that seems positively reckless.
Mountains rise and melt away, ocean basins come and go, ice sheets advance and withdraw.
And throughout the whole, about three times every minute, somewhere on the planet there is a flash-bulb pop of light marking the impact of a Manson-sized meteor or one even larger.
It’s a wonder that anything at all can survive in such a pummeled and unsettled environment.
In fact, not many things do for long.”
Bill Bryson, “A Short History of Nearly Everything”
“Time is Galleons, little brother.”
J.K. Rowling, “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix”
“The best teachers have showed me that things have to be done bit by bit.
Nothing that means anything happens quickly–we only think it does.
The motion of drawing back a bow and sending an arrow straight into a target takes only a split second, but it is a skill many years in the making.
So it is with a life, anyone’s life. I may list things that might be described as my accomplishments in these few pages, but they are only shadows of the larger truth, fragments separated from the whole cycle of becoming.
And if I can tell an old-time story now about a man who is walking about, waudjoset ndatlokugan, a forest lodge man, alesakamigwi udlagwedewugan, it is because I spent many years walking about myself, listening to voices that came not just from the people but from animals and trees and stones.”
Joseph Bruchac
I sometimes have moments of such despair, such despair …
Because in those moments I start to think that I will never be capable of beginning to live a real life; because I have already begun to think that I have lost all sense of proportion, all sense of the real and the actual; because, what is more, I have cursed myself; because my nights of fantasy are followed by hideous moments of sobering!
And all the time one hears the human crowd swirling and thundering around one in the whirlwind of life, one hears, one sees how people live—that they live in reality, that for them life is not something forbidden, that their lives are not scattered for the winds like dreams or visions but are forever in the process of renewal, forever young, and that no two moments in them are ever the same; while how dreary and monotonous to the point of being vulgar is timorous fantasy, the slave of shadow, of the idea…”
Fyodor Dostoyevsky, “White Nights”
“We are living in a culture entirely hypnotized by the illusion of time, in which the so-called present moment is felt as nothing but an infintesimal hairline between an all-powerfully causative past and an absorbingly important future.
We have no present.
Our consciousness is almost completely preoccupied with memory and expectation.
We do not realize that there never was, is, nor will be any other experience than present experience.
We are therefore out of touch with reality.
We confuse the world as talked about, described, and measured with the world which actually is.
We are sick with a fascination for the useful tools of names and numbers, of symbols, signs, conceptions and ideas.”
Alan Wilson Watts
“Enjoy life.
There’s plenty of time to be dead.”
Hans Christian Andersen
“I lied and said I was busy. I was busy; but not in a way most people understand.
I was busy taking deeper breaths. I was busy silencing irrational thoughts. I was busy calming a racing heart. I was busy telling myself I am okay.
Sometimes, this is my busy – and I will not apologize for it.”
Brittin Oakman
“Were all the geniuses of history to focus on this single theme, they could never fully express their bafflement at the darkness of the human mind.
No person would give up even an inch of their estate, and the slightest dispute with a neighbor can mean hell to pay; yet we easily let others encroach on our lives—worse, we often pave the way for those who will take it over.
No person hands out their money to passersby, but to how many do each of us hand out our lives!
We’re tight-fisted with property and money, yet think too little of wasting time, the one thing about which we should all be the toughest misers.”
Seneca, “On the Shortness of Life: Life Is Long if You Know How to Use It”
“Everyday is a bank account, and time is our currency.
No one is rich, no one is poor, we’ve got 24 hours each.”
Christopher Rice
…unfortunately, it’s true: time does heal.
It will do so whether you like it or not, and there’s nothing anyone can do about it.
If you’re not careful, time will take away everything that ever hurt you, everything you have ever lost, and replace it with knowledge.
Time is a machine: it will convert your pain into experience.
Raw data will be compiled, will be translated into a more comprehensible language.
The individual events of your life will be transmuted into another substance called memory and in the mechanism something will be lost and you will never be able to reverse it, you will never again have the original moment back in its uncategorized, preprocessed state.
It will force you to move on and you will not have a choice in the matter.”
Charles Yu, “How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe”
“Happy the man, and happy he alone, he who can call today his own: he who, secure within, can say, Tomorrow do thy worst, for I have lived today.
Be fair or foul, or rain or shine the joys I have possessed, in spite of fate, are mine. Not Heaven itself, upon the past has power, but what has been, has been, and I have had my hour.”
Horace
“Sometimes when I meet old friends, it reminds me how quickly time passes.
And it makes me wonder if we’ve utilized our time properly or not.
Proper utilization of time is so important.
While we have this body, and especially this amazing human brain, I think every minute is something precious.
Our day-to-day existence is very much alive with hope, although there is no guarantee of our future.
There is no guarantee that tomorrow at this time we will be here.
But we are working for that purely on the basis of hope.
So, we need to make the best use of our time.
I believe that the proper utilization of time is this: if you can, serve other people, other sentient beings.
If not, at least refrain from harming them. I think that is the whole basis of my philosophy.
So, let us reflect what is truly of value in life, what gives meaning to our lives, and set our priorities on the basis of that.
The purpose of our life needs to be positive.
We weren’t born with the purpose of causing trouble, harming others.
For our life to be of value, I think we must develop basic good human qualities—warmth, kindness, compassion.
Then our life becomes meaningful and more peaceful—happier.”

Sometimes the word quote is used as shorthand for quotation, a passage of speech or writing that’s repeated word for word.
As a verb, to quote means to repeat someone’s words, attributing them to their originator.
When one writes out a quote, one puts the other person’s words in quotation marks (“Aha!”).
To my Dearest Emily

“Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes… the ones who see things differently — they’re not fond of rules…

Beautiful people do not just happen.”
