We differintiate ourselves by how we use the time." ____________________________________________________________________________________ New 3/14 “Every decision we make is based on our emotions, we simply use logic to justify that decision” “You can’t control your thoughts, only guide them” “There’s nothing wrong with failing, the problem is failing twice without changing your methods” “Emotions flood our thoughts but don’t let them drown you” “Our experiences don’t define who we are, how we handle them does” “It’s not what you have its how you feel” “Negativity is all relative” “Controlling your thoughts allows you to control your emotions” “Positive Thoughts=Positive Actions=Positive Feelings” “Attract friends with fakeness and you’ll attract fake friends, attract friends with the real you and you’ll attract real friends” “Running from your problems only works until you get tired and can’t run anymore” “Arguing only leads to hostility, discussion leads to understanding and results” “Don’t try and measure your success by where you are, measure it by where you were” ____________________________________________________________________________________ New 3/16 Which one do you like best of these 3? 1) "Emotions are like soda, they tend to fade out with time" 2) "Emotions are like soda, they tend to become less intense with time" 3) "Emotions are like soda, they become flat with time" ____________________________________________________________________________________ New 3/16 “The farther down we fall, the higher we can eventually rise” “What you want is easier caught with bait then a chase” “Pursue your dreams, don’t chase them” “The people we surround ourselves with either lead us to greatness or corruption”\t ____________________________________________________________________________________ let me know if you guys like these and what kinds of thoughts they provoke if any If you guys like these subscribe to this thread Im going to keep updating it when I think of new ones I really appreciate the feedback
"The easiest way to get something is to act like you already have it" Probably the most agreeable one out of them.
Im glad you like them, I just added some of the ones I came up with tonight Im going to keep posting them in the thread as I come up with new ones

"We have yet to learn, that the thing uttered in words is not therefore affirmed. It must affirm itself, or no forms of logic or of oath can give it evidence. The sentence must also contain its own apology for being spoken." Emerson
"Crime is the result of two things, our natural instinct for survival and greed." Uh- Do you mean crime as in thievery and fraud? Because saying that tends to leave out crimes of passion and emotionally-tormented crimes (Such as a school shooter).
yeah some of these need some work, but Im open to suggestions maybe it should be "Crime is a result of two things, Passion and Greed" in the case of the school shooter, its not at all justified but it comes from his emotions and hatred which can be a form of passion
All creatures are innately philosophers, some humans just proclaim it. That said, I thoroughly enjoyed every one of those, not one do I disagree with, which is a rare opinion for me to have. Do keep writing.
Crime is a result of two things, freedom and lost hope. Amirite? Feel free to take that quote for your own if you like it enough.
