What's a quote that has stuck with you for your whole life?

I always loved browsing such posts on reddit, so thought I should make one on lemmy too

Edit: Usually these kind of posts only used to have excerpts from books or ancient proverbs, but now I am seeing a lot more quotes from shows/movies/games are also resonating with people. It’s pretty cool to see.

Basically at any given moment, any from a random assortment of Simpsons quotes. Right now it’s “but when are they gonna get to the fireworks factory?”

LordOlgort,

Success leads to stagnation; stagnation leads to failure. … Failure leads to maturity; maturity leads to success.

“You judge yourself by your intentions, but judge others by their actions”

This has helped me with my procrastination and helping to understand co-workers and people in general. Life gets busy and we always mean do get to things, but it’s really on what we actually do and complete that is real.

“you can stick your well-laid plan up your well-laid ass”

Been almost 30 years, what a dumb quote to come to mind so often. I never say it, haven’t seen Die Hard 3 since the '90s, no idea why it’s stuck so hard
