I took an introduction to nursing class in high school where we had to know the names of all the bones, the chambers of the heart, CPR, etc. During one particular topic, one of the students kinda snapped and exclaimed "I'm too stupid for this!" The teacher, a badass ER nurse who was a single mom, rode a Harley, and had seen everything from electrocuted flesh to years-old bed sores, simply said "Good. That means you're learning."

I work with special needs kids, and whenever they complain about feeling stupid, I pass along that wisdom, but in a bit nicer way: "You're not stupid, you're just learning."

“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.

From citizen Kane:

"It's easy to make a lot of money, if all you want is a lot of money"

Or something to that effect. Think about that line often

So much of the dialog is Deadwood is absolutely brilliant, but one scene really stuck with me.

"Pain or damage don’t end the world, or despair or fuckin’ beatin’s. The world ends when you’re dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man — and give some back."

Ian McShane deserved an Emmy for his work as Al Swearengen. That slow stare at the end of the scene alway kills me. I know it's supposed to be a drama, but they really go for some laughs.

This one is from my previous boss: “you gotta do what’s good for you, and nobody else”

Taught me to prioritize things that are important to me and not to live for the sake of others

Another was “you can’t help people who don’t want to help themselves”

Taught me that some efforts are futile because unwillingness from others will result in deterioration to the status quo unless they’re willing to participate to move things forward

Now that your worry has proved such an unlucrative business, why not find a better job?

"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

"The only thing to abuse is moderation" - A song quoting Sénèque, but I never found the original sentence from Sénèque (apparently he was talking about Sex in it but I think it applies to anything in life)

If you can't love yourself, how the hell you gonna love somebody else.
