I moved this from my post in the “family/friend sayings” thread.
These are some of my favorite quotes I’ve collected over the years…
“Get busy livin’ or get busy dyin’ “ - Andy Dufresne.
“Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice.” - Steve Jobs
“Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” - Steve Jobs
“In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.” - Abraham Lincoln
“You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.” - Wayne Gretzky
“Do or do not, there is no try.” - Yoda
“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.” - Dr. Seuss

Love those @edawsew simple yet so effective!
"A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices." -- George Orwell
Doremus Jessup, so inconspicuous an observer, watching Senator Windrip from so humble a Boeotia, could not explain his power of bewitching large audiences. The Senator was vulgar, almost illiterate, a public liar easily detected, and in his "ideas" almost idiotic, while his celebrated piety was that of a traveling salesman for church furniture, and his yet more celebrated humor the sly cynicism of a country store. .... Buzz Windrip was a Professional Common Man. ...he was the Common Man twenty-times-magnified by his oratory, so that while the other Commoners could understand his every purpose, which was exactly the same as their own, they saw him towering among them, and they raised hands to him in worship.

Freida Pinto
Every man has his secret sorrows which the world knows not; and often times we call a man cold when he is only sad.

The nine most frightening words you will ever hear are: “We are from the government, we’re here to help” --Ronald Reagan.
"In practice, conservatives regularly vote for lots of government — so long as it serves the interests they represent. Start with farm subsidies, massive defense spending, regulations that disempower unions, and measures that sharply tilt the tax code in favor of corporate interests and the wealthy."
—E.J. Dionne Jr., 2019
"To see those, those monkeys from those African countries—damn them, they’re still uncomfortable wearing shoes!"
—Ronald Reagan, 1971 (audio available)
