We were shown an A&E biography episode on Ray Crock my freshman year of high school for career class and they quoted the dude as saying
If my competitors were drowning in a sea of gasoline, I would throw in a lit match.
Milkshake man was ice fuckin' cold!
@zinklog "History loves repeat itself" With Covid , Wars and even daily life you see this so so many times. On big or little scales but this is a almost mantra to me " History is spiral it always comes back to point x" Sometimes it's scary because you know exactly what happened and what happening now can happen again...
Im not wild about this because to often I see folks use something like it to imply something we face now is no big deal due to a false analogy. Like covid with spanish flu. I.E. - I don't need to mask or vaccinate because we got through the spanish flu. Not taking into account its not as bad because of vaccines but without them it is actually a worse disease and that pictures clearly show folks used masks for the spanish flu. Its not just that but with climate change implying it just seems like the end like the cold war but they are completely different issues with different possibilities for solutions.
If you get down, you can always get up again.
βWhat Iβm about to tell you is top secret, a conspiracy bigger than all of us. Thereβs a powerful group of people out there that are secretly running the world. Iβm talking about the guys no one knows about, the guys that are invisible. The top 1% of the top 1%, the guys that play God without permission.β

A german saying: "Besser Vorsicht als Nachsicht." It means that you should better be cautious or prepared beforehand than having to clean your mess up after it went wrong. Good preparations help you a lot in life.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, as we anglophones say.
Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.
With all of the time I have, I am an insult to the dead.
In context, the person is saying they feel like they are wasting their life and that innumerable people in the past would've killed to have the kind of free time or life they have.
It reminds me to be grateful for both the time I have alive and the quality of that time.
I find it extremely motivating in pursuing my various personal pursuits. I should seem like a Renaissance master to the people of the past and anything less is insulting.
