“We are a society of notoriously unhappy people: lonely, anxious, depressed, destructive, dependent — people who are glad when we have killed the time we are trying so hard to save.”

A Little Wiser
“I constantly see people rise in life who are not the smartest, sometimes not even the most diligent, but they are learning machines. They go to bed every night a little wiser than they were when they got up and boy does that help, particularly when you have a long run ahead of you.”
-Charlie Munger
Real Knowledge
“Real knowledge is to know the extent of one’s ignorance.”
-Confucius
Know The Road Ahead
“To know the road ahead, ask those coming back”
-Chinese Proverb
Knowing
“Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worst kind of suffering.”
-Paulo Coelho
Mind & Memory
“The palest ink is better than the sharpest memory.”
-Chinese Proverb
The Stages
“All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.”
-Arthur Schopenhauer
A Target
“Talent hits a target no one else can hit; Genius hits a target no one else can see.”
-Arthur Schopenhauer
The Chaotic Pace
“To commit oneself to too many projects, to want to help everyone in everything, is to succumb to the violence of modern times.”
Sooner Or Later
“Neo, sooner or later you’re going to realize, just as I did, that there’s a difference between knowing the path and walking the path.”
— Morpheus
