One of the most important Samurai texts ever written, by Miyamoto Musashi, “The Book of the Five Rings (1643)”, offers this advice: “Think of what is right and true. Learn to see everything accurately. Become aware of what is not obvious. Be careful even in small matters. Do not do anything useless.”



Think on these things (Thought Life)

Phil 4:8

Whatsoever things are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, whatsoever things are of good report, if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

My personal favorite quotes are:

"I will be my undoing if I become my obsession."

-Abnegation Manifesto, Divergent, Veronica Roth



"We believe in ordinary acts of bravery, in the courage that drives one person to stand up for another.

•••

We believe in shouting for those who can only whisper, in defending those who cannot defend themselves."

-Dauntless Manifesto, Divergent, Veronica Roth



Another quote I try to live by is:

"Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end."

"You never know what you had until it is gone" - wrong "you always know what you had and you just didn't think that it would be gone" I don't know who wrote it lol and kid everything you have know will be gone like you parents, sibling, some friends, pets so you just gotta have to make the best out of it.
