My Favourite Quotes

And therefore, if a man write little, he had need have a great memory; if he confer little, he had need have a present wit; and if he read little, he had need have more cunning, to seem to know that he doth not.

因此,一个人如果不写,他就需要记住很多东西;如果不和人交谈,他就需要天笺机智;如果不读书,他就需要更狡猾,能够假装知道他所不知道的东西。

"Fear of growing old":

So are you doing this for yourself, or for them? Because if someone is only interested in you for looks (and not all gay men are, contrary to popular belief), they're probably not worth the effort. Also, if you rely on others to fix your self-esteem issues, you're going about it all wrong. You have to be satisfied with yourself, first. You have the power. Growing old is nothing to be afraid of. We have plenty of older men on the forums who are successful, balanced, and satisfied with life, more so than many younger members, I might add. Listen to them. They've gone through the same struggles, and more, so come from a place of experience.

The only remedy is to live in the now, living from day to day and not wurrying about the far future, cause you can't influence that very much, and that also makes it very frightening. Live and enjoy today. (From EmptyClosets.com)

Work towards something I don’t get serious about my workouts until I am training for a race. The fear of failure is a great motivator. Knowing your race times will be available to the world is often the final push needed to put in the time in training to see a new personal record.

It was a major motivator for me to see an unbroken star streak. Believe it or not, this still works after kindergarten!

Study how they overcame their training struggles – like lacking motivation – and implement their strategies into your routine. Ask your friends and fellow athletes to share positive stories about how they overcame difficulties.

Whatever you choose, make sure you will have a good time. If you don’t have fun, you lose motivation quickly.

Exploration is a big part of life.

The more you feel like an elite athlete, the better you will perform. When you know you look good during your workout, you are more motivated to keep it up!

I also have a better-earn-your-shower rule. This means that I don’t get to take a shower unless I’ve earned it by doing a workout. (From lifehack.org)

Research has shown that homosexuality is an example of a normal and natural variation in human sexuality and is not in and of itself a source of negative psychological effects.

Homosexual behavior has also been documented and is observed in many non-human animal species. (From Wikipedia)

More than anything, I am sorry that so many have interpreted this religious rejection by Christians as God’s rejection. I am profoundly sorry that many have walked away from their faith and that some have chosen to end their lives.

My beliefs about these things will never again interfere with God’s command to love my neighbor as I love myself.

I pledge that future endeavors will be focused on peace and common good. (From Exodus International)

"All the same," said the Scarecrow, "I shall ask for brains instead of a heart; for a fool would not know what to do with a heart if he had one." "I shall take the heart," returned the Tin Woodman; "for brains do not make one happy, and happiness is the best thing in the world." (From The Wonderful Wizard of Oz)

What Do People Regret The Most Before They Die?
15. I wish I hadn’t worried so much. If you’ve ever kept a diary and looked back, you’ll probably wonder why you ever got so worked up over X. (From lifehack.org)
