    It’s better to accept the harsh truth and be free than to live a lie.

    Tyrants cannot create tyranny without those who are obedient.

    When tyrants die their rule is over, when martyrs die their rule begins.

    Right this moment, you are the oldest you have ever been
    but you are also the youngest you will ever be again.

    The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, the next best time is now.

    The best thing about the good old days is that we were neither good nor old.

    If we shouldn’t eat at night, why do they put a light in the fridge?

    So what if I don’t know what “Armageddon” means? It’s not the end of the world.

    I went to see the doctor about my short-term memory problems. The first thing the bastard did was make me pay in advance.

    "There is a tide in the affairs of men,
    Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune."

    The quote is from William Shakespeare's play "Julius Caesar," specifically in Act 4, Scene 3. The quote is delivered by Brutus during a conversation with Cassius. The passage is a reflection on seizing the right moment and recognizing opportunities as they arise.

    The full quote is the following:

    "There is a tide in the affairs of men,
    Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
    Omitted, all the voyage of their life
    Is bound in shallows and in miseries.
    On such a full sea are we now afloat,
    And we must take the current when it serves,
    Or lose our ventures."

    We are probably living at such a time now. I wonder what the right choices are.

    If you think money grows on trees, my lad, then you'd better start planting trees. (A common saying years ago.)
