Socrates

— Life has just three rules. And you already know them. Paradox, humor and change. Paradox.
— Life is a mystery. Don't waste time trying to figure it out.
— Humor.
— Keep a sense of humor, especially about yourself. It is a strength beyond all measure.
— Change.
— Know that nothing stays the same.

Sometimes you have to lose your mind before you come to your senses.

Take out the trash, Dan. The trash is anything that is keeping you from the only thing that matters, this moment. Here. Now. And when you truly are in the here and now, you'll be amazed at what you can do and how well you can do it.

Life is choice. You can choose to be a victim or anything else you'd like to be.

I want you to stop gathering information from outside yourself and start gathering it from the inside. People are afraid of what's inside, and that's the only place they're ever gonna find what they need.

Death isn't sad. The sad thing is most people don't live at all.

Nearly all of humanity shares your predicament, Dan. If you don't get what you want, you suffer. And even when you get exactly what you want, you still suffer because you can't hold onto it forever.

— You're out of your mind. You know that?
— It's taken a lifetime of practice.
