Good quote

The individual is much more of a cause than an effect.

While we are largely responsible for our successes and failures, I still feel this quote applies:

"There is no such thing as a self-made man. You will reach your goals only with the help of others."

I just thought this one up..... Someone else probably said it before, or something similar, but I thought it'd be relevant here, so here ya go:

I do believe that it was Thomas Jefferson that said:
Quote:
To be early is to be on time, to be on time is to be late, and to be late is not worth showing up
I think the end of his might have been a little different, but still a good one.

the three words i live by:

"deal with it" - jimmiejo

any issues that arise; any procrastination that holds you back from advancing; just about anything, can be solved by repeating my quote. Just don't say it with a new york cabbie accent or abbreviate it like those teen hipsters nowadays.

I always find that I remind myself, "Do what you have to do."

If you make a mistake, you just "do what you have to do" to correct it. Or if you have to "DEAL WITH IT," then you just "do what you have to do.

"DEAL WITH IT" is another one I really like..---by jimmiejo

I thank you for now making your life's mantra "DEAL WITH IT" mtd1523. You may have thought a quote as good as "deal with it" would have taken years and years to write, but with my masterful copywriting skills I suprisingly came up with it in a microsecond, while I was in a pissy mood and someone wouldn't leave me alone.

I have written several other variations of the acclaimed quote, which take advantage of the tone of your voice. Try saying it in a high, mid, and low tone of voice, as well as a fast and slow pace. The combinations of tone and speed create infinite variations of "deal with it" and serves as a great party favour.

doesn't anyone else find it freaky that chris said this on December 7th? It's like that twilight zone thing.
