“Putting things off is the biggest waste of life: it snatches away each day as it comes, and denies us the present by promising the future. The greatest obstacle to living is expectancy, which hangs upon tomorrow, and loses today. You are arranging what lies in Fortune's control, and abandoning what lies in yours. What are you looking at? To what goal are you straining? The whole future lies in uncertainty: live immediately.”
― Seneca

“Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.”
― Mark Twain

“Your task is to focus on his feelings and help him see and turn against his defenses. Lastly, in learning any treatment method, we make mistakes. Patients will nearly always forgive a mistake of the head, just not one of the heart.”
― Jon Frederickson, Co-Creating Change: Effective Dynamic Therapy Techniques
