“Ideas are completely, completely, completely worthless unless you execute against those ideas. And you can sit here and tell me what your “purpose” is, but unless you go and execute against it, it is not different than an idea, which is completely useless without fundamental execution.” – Gary Vaynerchuk
For large projects, Team Leaders use sophisticated project management software to keep track of who's doing what. The software collects the lies and guesses of the project team and organizes them in to instantly outdated charts that are too boring to look at closely. This is called "planning".
-- Scott Adams, The Dilbert principle
What experience and history teach is this - that nations and governments have never learned anything from history, or acted upon any lessons they might have drawn from it.
-- Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, "Philosophy and History"
Censorship is telling a man he can't have a steak just because a baby can't chew it.
Mark Twain
Censorship is telling a man he can't have a steak because eating red meat will sit in his large intestine for months, give him an early heart-attack, cause global destruction by promoting cow farts, cause widespread famine, starvation and wildlife extinction by promoting the use of arable land in order to feed cattle, and "not" promoting sustainable, organically grown, non-gmo vegetables that if everybody was forced to consume would probably lead to about 50% of human beings dying of starvation.
I've had this one in my cubicle for years
Hunter S. Thompson
I had somebody at my old job come by my desk and ask for my professional opinion and just pointed at that poster. I think it describes my career perfectly.
"The Secret of Change Is to Focus All of Your Energy, Not on Fighting the Old, But on Building the New"
-Dan Millman (author of The Way of the Peaceful Warrior)
"Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."

"Don't rush the proces, yea feel me! Some of yall trying to rush the 21 days. It takes 21 years to be 21 years old, don't rush the process! Trust the process!"
“It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is most adaptable to change.”

I feel like I have to pull that one out whenever I get roped into arguments about evolution.
“A learning experience is one of those things that says, 'You know that thing you just did? Don't do that.”
― Douglas Adams
So I was in a bookshop today and was so tempted to buy this signed first edition of Hitch Hiker's Guide To the Galaxy for $600 bucks. Why do I always stumble across these things at xmas time when I need to spend money elsewhere?

I will never sell my dream, and my gift to anyone for any dollar amount. Don't you ever do that. And every morning you wake when you look in that mirror. I want you to look in that mirror and I want you to tell yourself that I am special, I great, and I am phenomenal. Nobody will stop me from reaching my goal. But I know I have so much work to do; while they sleep I must work. While they party I must grind. While they procrastinate I must go after my future relentlessly.
"Don't ell me you're a author, just let me know when the books coming out.
Don't tell me you do music, just press play.
Don't tell that you starting your business, just let me know when is the opening date!
We live on a world where it's called show business not tell business, let your work speak for itself."

How ironic that a historian whose words are still famous and frequently quoted after roughly 2000 years was called Tacitus, of all things.
