A wise man once told me, “You can do anything if you set your mind to it.”
So what if my goal is to set out to prove that not everything is possible?
Yeah. Eff you, wise man. That’s how fucking stupid your motivational sayings are. And that’s how cynical I am.
Here are some responses to other wiseass quotations:
“I can’t do it” never yet accomplished anything; “I will try” has performed wonders.
George P. Burnham
“I will try” also got a lot more people killed, whereas “I can’t do it” got a lot of people at home at night for supper.
Throughout the centuries there were men who took first steps down new roads armed with nothing but their own vision.
Ayn Rand
Also throughout the centuries there were men who went down the roads with axes and swords, and made sure to empty the pockets and skulls of those who went out with only their own vision.
Start by doing what’s necessary, then what’s possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible.
Francis of Assisi
Or do nothing instead. At least you’ll only be moderately disappointed with your life compared to being one big fucking failure if you don’t achieve the impossible.
There are three types of people in this world: those who make things happen, those who watch things happen and those who wonder what happened. We all have a choice. You can decide which type of person you want to be. I have always chosen to be in the first group.
Mary Kay Ash
There’s also one more group: those that don’t think about anything in their ignorance. Guess who’s satisfied on a daily basis?
Don’t limit yourself. Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do. You can go as far as you mind lets you. What you believe, you can achieve.
Mary Kay Ash
I believe that you never said this. Now what?
Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.
Dale Carnegie
You seem to forget about the people who gave up and went on to write great instruction manuals about something else. Asshole.
The reward of a thing well done is to have done it.
RALPH WALDO EMERSON
Or rather to have the fame and fortune as a result of having done it. Discovering plutonium on its own isn’t going to get you laid or pay for your trip to Cancun.
If not us, who? If not now, when?
Kennedy, John F.
Answer 1: The Japanese. Answer 2: Probably in a few weeks when they make the microprocessor to do it.
All good things are difficult to achieve; and bad things are very easy to get.
Morarji Desai
Tell that to lottery winners, whose most difficult effort was to get out of their La-Z-Boy to go to the convenience store to buy a ticket.
The search for wisdom is a great challenge; to act on wisdom is an even greater challenge.
Siddhaswarupananda Paramahamsa
And to have the wisdom to not point out to your wife how frikking WRONG she is: The greatest challenge ever.
If life were measured by accomplishments, most of us would die in infancy.
A. P. Gouthey
If famous quotations were measured on a scale of 1 to 10 in terms of awesomeness, your quote would be a negative 4.
There is no great achievement that is not the result of patient working and waiting.
J. G. Holland
The lottery winners are too busy on their houseboat in Bermuda to give a shit about arguing your point being wrong.
High achievement always takes place in the framework of high expectation.
Jack Kinder
But lowered expectations will get you the night of rough, sloppy, awkward, drunken sex with a naive college nursing student that probably feels a lot better.

Did we room together my freshman year of college? If so, I’m kind of sorry about pissing in that open can of soda you left on your desk.
Kind of.
I’m sorry about sitting in your chair naked without wiping first, if that was you.
I think I have a lot of apologies for you. Damn, I’m kinda sorry you found me. That’d be the first regret.
Yeah, wow, good times. Good times. Did the syph ever clear up?
Nah, it’s still raging. I started taking ritalin for it though, so hopefully that works.
