"HAPPINESS, FREE, FOR EVERYONE, AND LET NO ONE BE FORGOTTEN!!" - Red, The Roadside Picnic
An impossible wish, yet one that burned itself into my heart the moment I read it, and a quote that has kept me walking.
Look after your equipment and your equipment will look after you.

There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing.
“Nothing changes if I don’t change”.
Keep moving forward

"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)
Life, don't talk to me about life...
With all of the time I have, I am an insult to the dead.
In context, the person is saying they feel like they are wasting their life and that innumerable people in the past would've killed to have the kind of free time or life they have.
It reminds me to be grateful for both the time I have alive and the quality of that time.
I find it extremely motivating in pursuing my various personal pursuits. I should seem like a Renaissance master to the people of the past and anything less is insulting.
Confidence is everything.
Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.
If you get down, you can always get up again.
@zinklog "History loves repeat itself" With Covid , Wars and even daily life you see this so so many times. On big or little scales but this is a almost mantra to me " History is spiral it always comes back to point x" Sometimes it's scary because you know exactly what happened and what happening now can happen again...
Im not wild about this because to often I see folks use something like it to imply something we face now is no big deal due to a false analogy. Like covid with spanish flu. I.E. - I don't need to mask or vaccinate because we got through the spanish flu. Not taking into account its not as bad because of vaccines but without them it is actually a worse disease and that pictures clearly show folks used masks for the spanish flu. Its not just that but with climate change implying it just seems like the end like the cold war but they are completely different issues with different possibilities for solutions.
