I hate quotations; tell me what you know. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Quotations often make for poor communication.

"You can't change reality to suit your ideology. Try changing your ideology to suit reality."

That's one thing missing in politics and in personal life. People expect reality to change if they deny it.
Some deny problems or solutions because they're not in line with their ideology. It won't make the problems disappear.

"An error doesn't become a mistake until you refuse to correct it."

I like this quote because it stops me getting caught in a negative cycle when something goes wrong. Instead, I write down what went wrong and why it happened. If I find that I have written the same thing many times, I invest some time trying to figure out a strategy to avoid that particular error.

One of my own

'There is no right or wrong only honesty backed up by knowledge'

Well any quote I make really but this is the best I think, because its to the point,
and it forces me to say if I don't know the why of something then I better get out the way.

The Striker's Oath from -Atlas Shrugged-

Eat first, kill later.

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”

-Theodore Roosevelt
