1. Better a slave on the outside and free on the inside than a slave on the inside.

2. Cargo cult world.

3. The examined life doesn't look so hot either.

4. We're not souls carrying corpses as Epictetus used to say, we are temporarily malfunctioning corpses - and nothing more.

5. Without insecurity, self-pity, pretense, arrogance.

6. What one man can do, another can do.

7. You can't judge a book by its cover... except Mein Kampf.

8. Whatever things are, just think on those things.

9. They know not what they do because they've never bothered to think about it.

10. Breeding contempts familiarity.

11. There is nothing next here.

12. You don't win friends with salad.

13. Still have armies in the Ukraine...

14. Our society is set up so PhD nuclear engineers aren't allowed behind the "Employees Only" door at a McDonalds.

15. No choice but to play the cards you have.

16. We'll be dead in 80 years, how about we get to the point?

17. It's all on the line all the time.

18. It's my fault because I should have known better.

19. It's not their fault because they didn't know better or else they would have known what to
do. Since they're not up to it, they can't be held responsible - It was the universe's fault with
them along for the ride.

20. You can't hide.

21. Spend all your time thinking and you'll never do anything; spend all your time doing and
you won't know what you're doing. You can spend at most half of your time doing so you can use the other half to think about whether you're doing it wrong.

22. The knife can't sharpen itself.

23. Want to do what you're able to. Then realizing wanting is against nature and just do what you can.

24. You know what you have to do.

25. If you don't do it, you're unable to do it. If you do it, you're able to do it. Make yourself able to do a thing by the process of doing it.

26. Fuller than hungry but not plump, stronger than weak but no titan, smarter than daft but no sophist, cleverer than naive but no swindler, more expert than a novice but not done growing, more relaxed than stubborn but not lazy.

I like number three. Also I have one "Walk without rhythm it won't attract the worm"

Some good stuff here, and some bad stuff. To paraphrase one of the masters "Nine-tenths of everything produced is crap".

#24 has been like a burning brand in my brain for a while now, it makes #25 painful to consider.

#12 seems odd, but apt to me

#13 was confusing until I looked it up. www.subzin.com

I got that particular nugget of wisdom from Homer Simpson.
