David WolfeBe very careful of what you allow to infiltrate your consciousness and subconsciousness. When you watch too much television, you'll start to feel inferior from all the commercials hard selling the idea that you're not complete unless you buy their product. The ad agencies appeal to your fear of not being wanted or loved. It's the same with the local news. They get you to stay tuned with a constant stream of fear tactics. It's as if our culture is addicted to fear and the flat screen is our drug dealer. Don't allow that crap into your head!
RuPaulI recently forced myself to read a book on quantum physics, just to try and learn something new. I was confused by the middle of the first sentence and it all went downhill from there.

I don't really know what that means, but I am now more careful handling needles.
Stephan PastisLet no one rule your mind or body. Take special care that your thoughts remain unfettered... Give men your ear, but not your heart.

Be careful with your money. Hold fast to your beliefs and others will listen.

Don't keep buying just for the sake of it.
Vivienne WestwoodPart of buying the groceries is having a philosophy and trying to stick to it as best you can, knowing that occasionally you may make an exception.

Steven NovellaI used to fight the pain, but recently this became clear to me: pain is not my enemy; it is my call to greatness. But when dealing with the Iron, one must be careful to interpret the pain correctly. Most injuries involving the Iron come from ego. I once spent a few weeks lifting weight that my body wasnโt ready for and spent a few months not picking up anything heavier than a fork. Try to lift what youโre not prepared to and the Iron will teach you a little lesson in restraint and self-control.
