Robert Greene
“person who cannot control his words shows that he cannot control himself, and is unworthy of respect.”
Robert Greene, The 48 Laws of Power

Robert Greene
“LAW 38
Think As You Like But Behave Like Others

If you make a show of going against the times, flaunting your unconventional ideas and unorthodox ways, people will think that you only want attention and that you look down upon them. They will find a way to punish you for making them feel inferior. It is far safer to blend in and nurture the common touch. Share your originality only with tolerant friends and those who are sure to appreciate your uniqueness.”
Robert Greene, The 48 Laws of Power

Peter M. Senge
“In combating cynicism, it helps to know its source. Scratch the surface of most cynics and you find a frustated idealist – someone who made the mistake of converting his ideals into expectations.

Bill O’Brien points out that ‘burnout’ comes from causes other than simply working too hard: “There are teachers, social workers and clergy who work incredibly hard until they are 80 years old and never suffer ’burnout’ - because they have an accurate view of human nature. They don’t over-romanticize people, so they don’t feel the great pshychological stress when people let them down”
Peter Senge

Robert Greene
“Never waste valuable time, or mental peace of mind, on the affairs of others—that is too high a price to pay.”
Robert Greene, The 48 Laws of Power

James Clear
“You should be far more concerned with your current trajectory than with your current results.”
James Clear, Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones
