A reference to various quotes which have resonated with me throughout my life. Not particularly complete by any means, but a good start.

Reputation

paschmann

It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you’ll do things differently.

Warren Buffet

Your 9-5 isn’t killing your dreams. Wasting your 5-9 is.

Some interesting quotes from Alex Hormozi (Co-founder of acquisition.com)

Your biggest threat isn’t your competition: It’s the mediocre version of you that you’ve accepted as good enough.

Rich people buy time. Poor people buy stuff. Ambitious people buy skills. Lazy people buy distraction.

Your 9-5 isn’t killing your dreams. Wasting your 5-9 is.

You must first become consistent before you can become exceptional.

Alex Hormozi

Independence Hall Quote

paschmann

A quick visit to Independence Hall and Liberty Bell with Ella during a tournament in Philly and snapped this memorable quote.

“If men were angels, no government would be necessary,” comes from James Madison’s Federalist No. 51, published in 1788, and it explains why government is needed: because humans aren’t perfect, we need structures to control the governed and to control the government itself.
