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.
HobbitFoot, Be the change you want to see in the world.

Love this one. Also the alternate version - “Be the person your dog thinks you are.”
Vaginal_blood_fart, I hope to one day be as good of a person as my dog thinks I am.
Tyfud, This is the one that’s stuck with me as well.
Navigate, This one, and the related “be part of the solution, not part of the problem”
ZuriMuri, 
„Old habits die hard“
&
"Anything that can go wrong will (eventually) go wrong."
- Added the eventually for Murphy’s law because in its original version it kinda implies that everything that can will go wrong right away
samus12345, 
I’ve seen “and at the worst possible time” added to the end of Murphy’s Law. Right away might not be the worst possible time.
Today, Two from my mom… 1 - I cut, you choose.
2 - If a boy will cheat with you, he will cheat on you.
HubertManne, 
we called it as kids. you split, I pick.
2d, 
What does "cheat with you" mean exactly?
bonn2, It means if he is willing to cheat on someone to be with you.
Romkslrqusz, Cheat on their partner with you as “the other person”
atheos, 
“Friends and Family fuck you first”. Sounds like a pretty shitty quote, but it proves to be true as you get older.
Just_A_Human, They get dibs, it’s only fair
palitu, That is a really sad view on friends and family. I mean, depending on the size of the funking.
My family and friends have been minor funking.
You should choose different friends and make sure that you don’t pass that sentiment on to your kids.
atheos, It’s a sad reality for some, count your blessings.
palitu, But the friends part. Family I get, but friends? Sad noises.
AlexWIWA, From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me
OtherPetard, I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the Blessed Machine.
AlexWIWA, Your kind cling to your flesh as if it will not decay, and fail you. This crude biomass you call a temple, will wither, and you will beg my kind to save you.
richneptune, It takes a woman nine months to make a baby, nine women cannot make a baby in a month.
Classic (and likely mangled by myself) computer science quote which I always enjoy encountering in the wild!
DevouredChaos, Ive always heard that one from a Project Management perspective. Ive used it myself once or twice actually!
someguy3, Classic project management quote.
deadbeef79000, Nine women can average one baby per month, but only with an extra nine months of pre-planning.
