Upon browsing the internet, visiting blogs about ERE, FI and minimalism, I gather a substantial amount of interesting quotes.
What I do with them is the following:
I put them in a quotes.txt file.
Then I wrote a small program that randomly takes a line from that quotes.txt file and displays it at the top of my screen.
This gives me random inspirational quotes throughout the day.
For the interested people, here are the quotes I gathered so far:
I am an investor.
My favourite holding period is forever.
The tortoise almost always beats the hare.
If I can't afford to lose it, I don't use it.
Debt is a disease.
Interest is something that should always be collected, never paid.
Insanity is, doing the same thing over and over, expecting different results.
I force myself to sell high and buy low by periodic rebalancing.
JOB = Just Over Broke
Poor people buy liabilities, rich people buy assets.
Perfection is reached, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing more to take away.
He who owns little is little owned.
The best things in life are not things.
Beware of all enterprises that require new clothes.
Meyers' Law--It is a simple task to make things complex, but a complex task to make things simple.
Courage is nothing more than taking one step more than you think you can.
Courage is not the absence of fear, it's knowing that something else is more important.
Don't get really good at what you don't want to do.
You need affection. (Through spending time with family.)
You need protection. (Protected from harm by ma/ from the elements by a place to live.)
You need understanding. (Talk to friends.)
You need participation. (Participation in martial arts.)
You need leisure. (...)
You need creation. (music, ...)
You need identity. (I am an investor, a friend, a son ...)
You need freedom. (ER(E))
1. The Earth is our Mother, care for her.
2. Honor all your relations.
3. Open your heart and soul to the Great Spirit.
4. All life is sacred; treat all things with respect.
5. Take from the Earth what is needed and nothing more.
6. Do what needs to be done for the good of all.
7. Give constant thanks to the Great Spirit for each new day.
8. Speak the truth, but only of the good in others.
9. Follow the rhythms of nature, rise and retire with the sun.
10. Enjoy life's journey, but leave no tracks.
All progress begins with telling the truth.
You can not "positive think" your way to wealth.
When the going gets though, cash is king.
Attachment leads to jealousy... the shadow of greed, that is. (Yoda)
Why aren't you rich already?
The perceived value of our stuff keeps us tied to it, when in reality, freedom from it is priceless.
Everything crazy has been done already, so you might as well do it again.
In order to do something with ease, you must first do it with difficulty.
If you're a man with convictions, violence is inevitable.
Lose the battle, not the lesson.
I read the quotes online by coincidence and let them inspire me forever.
