For my whole life is a tall order. Probably "what goes around comes around".

"you can stick your well-laid plan up your well-laid ass"
Been almost 30 years, what a dumb quote to come to mind so often. I never say it, haven't seen Die Hard 3 since the '90s, no idea why it's stuck so hard
So much of the dialog is Deadwood is absolutely brilliant, but one scene really stuck with me.
Ian McShane deserved an Emmy for his work as Al Swearengen. That slow stare at the end of the scene alway kills me. I know it's supposed to be a drama, but they really go for some laughs.

This one is from my previous boss: “you gotta do what’s good for you, and nobody else”
Taught me to prioritize things that are important to me and not to live for the sake of others
Another was “you can’t help people who don’t want to help themselves”
Taught me that some efforts are futile because unwillingness from others will result in deterioration to the status quo unless they’re willing to participate to move things forward
If you can't love yourself, how the hell you gonna love somebody else.

Now that your worry has proved such an unlucrative business, why not find a better job?

"Anything that can go wrong will (eventually) go wrong."
- Added the eventually for Murphy’s law because in its original version it kinda implies that everything that can will go wrong right away
I've seen "and at the worst possible time" added to the end of Murphy's Law. Right away might not be the worst possible time.

I only concern myself with 'how'. 'Why' is a question for philosophers and cowards, of which I am neither.
"The only thing to abuse is moderation" - A song quoting Sénèque, but I never found the original sentence from Sénèque (apparently he was talking about Sex in it but I think it applies to anything in life)
See I was always partial to: "Moderation in everything, but don't over do it!"
The version I heard was "everything in moderation, including moderation."
