Do you have a quote you live your life by or think of often?
The one I think of often is from Bruce Lee.
Take anything anyone will teach you and make it uniquely your own.
That means don’t use quotes. Have your own way of saying it.
The idea that a quote makes you smarter thats a dumb idea.
Think about this way, how many times have you said something that has another thinking you read this or that or the other, and you haven’t read a word of any of it.
You just had a thought come into your mind, and now everyone thinks your copying someone else.
We give way too much credit to ourselves.
Why should anyone quote me.
I’m quotable.
If knowledge is power, than wisdom is understanding.
Now, if we think about it, we have more than one way to say it.
Find your own way of saying things and forget about who said what, and think about is it true?
That’s what matters. The truth is what matters.
The truth doesn’t give two shits about your feelings. It exists anyway and there’s nothing you can do to make the truth go away.
Have a blessed one and be excellent on purpose
The Church of Rock 'N' Roll 
Quoting others is like wearing someone else’s shoes. They might fit, but they don’t carry your steps.
Real thinking is messier. Like cooking without a recipe—burnt edges, strange smells, but it’s yours.
It’s easy to copy a wise line. Much harder to sit with silence and hear your own.
You’re right—truth sounds better when it comes from your own breath, not someone else’s echo.

These are mantras that you use for yourself.
I use mantras all the time, such as
I never try, I do.
I never try, I work at it.
I cannot fail because I never try, I do, and I work at all I do.
