It is because nations tend to stupidity and baseness that democracy is possible.
Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything—all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure—these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.
You are always a valuable, worthwhile human being — not because anybody says so, not because you're successful, not because you make a lot of money — but because you decide to believe it and for no other reason.
Those who do not have power over the story that dominates their lives, the power to retell it, rethink it, deconstruct it, joke about it, and change it as they change, truly are powerless, because they cannot think new thoughts.

Don't cry to quit, cry to keep going.
Don’t cry to quit, cry to keep going.
Don't cry to quit, cry to keep going.
I’m thankful for my struggle because without it I wouldn’t have stumbled across my strength.
It is so hard to believe because it is so hard to obey.
We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born.
Faith is the great cop-out, the great excuse to evade the need to think and evaluate evidence. Faith is belief in spite of, even perhaps because of, the lack of evidence.
