Here are some of my favorite quotes read in 2024.
We are drowning in information.
We are starving for wisdom. – Tony Robbins
Technology moves faster than wisdom. – Derek Sivers
Kindness is more important than wisdom, and the recognition of this is the beginning of wisdom. – Theodore Isaac Rubin

The reason people get good ideas in the shower is because it’s the only time during the day when most people are away from screens long enough to think clearly. The lesson is not to take more showers, but rather to make more time to think. – James Clear
Real learning doesn’t happen in the moment when you take in new information. Real learning happens when you have time to reflect on that information you’ve taken in. And think about it, think how it applies to your life. If this, then what? If this fact is true, how does this change things for me. How does it apply to my life. That to me is the real moment of learning. – Derek Sivers
Knowing is not enough, we must apply. Willing is not enough, we must do. – Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
You are what you do, not what you say you’ll do. – Carl Jung
Twenty years after my own graduation, I have come gradually to understand that the liberal arts cliché about “teaching you how to think” is actually shorthand for a much deeper, more serious idea: Learning how to think really means learning how to exercise some control over how and what you think. It means being conscious and aware enough to choose what you pay attention to and to choose how you construct meaning from experience. Because if you cannot exercise this kind of choice in adult life, you will be totally hosed. – David Foster Wallace
If you’re not failing, you’re not learning. If you’re not learning, you’re not growing. If you’re not growing, you’re not living. Living without failing is failing to live. – Mark Manson
You remember through a filter of who you are. – Mary Karr
Home is the place where there is no obstacles to my flourishing. – Derek Sivers
It’s remarkable how often the real problem is not what happened, but how it was communicated. – Jamers Clear
Your title doesn’t make you a leader;
How you make people feel does. – Rob Dance
The forest will be a quiet place if only birds who can sing actually did. – Henry Van Dyke
No person has the power to have everything they want, but it is in their power not to want what they don’t have, and to cheerfully put to good use what they do have. – Seneca
Love the life you live. Live the life you love. – Bob Marley
