“I've weaned myself down to about, on a great day, on a really great day, three cigarettes. For a nicotine junkie the essential cigs are three: the first-of-the-day cigarette smoked after lunch, the after-dinner cigarette and then the one taken whenever you want - the luxury-wild-card smoke. It used to be quite a bit more. It used to be, I'd smoke the table. I'd smoke the patch. I'd smoke the gum. So I feel good about it.” WantFeelsFirstsUsedThreeBitsTakenDrugEssentialsTablesDinnerAlcoholFeel GoodCardsUsed To BeLuxurySmokeLunchCigaretteReally GreatPatchesJunkieGumGreat DayI Feel GoodNicotineCigs Author:Johnny Depp
“It is the philosophers, theologians, and evangelists who are said to be filled with pride and bigotry due to the strong convictions that they represent. On the contrary, teachings can be either taken or dismissed; whereas voting is the only thing the average person can do to force everyone to live how they would prefer. A simple vote is among the largest yet most acceptable forms of bigotry, and that is because people play the card only when they feel that in doing so it conveniences themselves.” PeopleFeelsPersonsSaidPlayFormStrongForceCan DoSimpleTakenTeachingPrideVoteFilledAveragePhilosopherConvictionDuesContraryCardsVotingBigotryAcceptableTheologianConvenienceAverage PersonEvangelists Book:Killosophy Source: Killosophy
“Know how to play the card of contempt. It is the most politic kind of revenge. For there are many of whom we should have known nothing if their distinguished opponents had taken no notice of them. There is no revenge like oblivion, for it is the entombment of the unworthy in the dust of their own nothingness.” IfsKnowsShouldKindPlayKnownKnow HowTakenShould HaveRevengeCardsDustOpponentsContemptNothingnessOblivionDistinguishedUnworthyShould Have KnownNo Revenge Author:Baltasar Gracian

“The further we travel down the path of enlightenment, the more humble we become. We shouldn't seek to impress others—or allow ourselves to be taken—with mere outer trappings. If we do our inner work, our spirit will be our calling card. Nice to meet you.” IfsSpiritWorkPathTakenNiceCallingTravelEnlightenmentMereHumbleCardsImpressNice To Meet You Author:Philip Toshio Sudo
“If you're going to invest a valuable asset (like time), go ahead and make it productive. Use a postit or two, or some index cards or a highlighter. Not to write down stuff so you can forget it later, but to create marching orders. It's simple: if three weeks go by and you haven't taken action on what you've written down, you wasted your time.” IfsWritingTwoUseActionOrderThreeStuffSimpleForgetBusinessTakenWrittenWeekHavensValuableCardsProductiveAssetsForget It Author:Seth Godin
