09/16/2024 by

Sage QuotesIf it’s sage quotes you are looking for, dear reader, I have 30 excellent observations from Lucius B. Wack.

Lucius B. Wack is a modern philosopher whom I greatly admire.

I think he has a lot of interesting things to say.

So, look at these sage quotes and see what you think.

I hope you find these observations about modern life in the Western world interesting.

If you do, then please feel free to pass them on to your friends.

But not before you’ve had a chance to reflect them all over a cup of coffee, or whatever your preferred morning beverage might be.

Sage Quotes (1-10):

  1. Demand the best for yourself. If you don’t, no one else will.
  2. You only have to look around you to see that the lunatics are running the asylum.
  3. Jobs that no longer need doing can’t be protected. Doing work for its own sake is pointless.
  4. We live in a world where the lives of the many are being subjected to the tyranny of the few.
  5. Beware the zealots imposing upon us all their worldviews. They’re working in their best interests, not ours. 
  6. No country has ever taxed its way to prosperity. Excessive taxation acts as a disincentive to hard work and enterprise.
  7. Don’t think of it as the end. Think of it as the beginning of a new chapter. A new experience. The next ride on the latest attraction. 
  8. If your answer’s No, then it’s No. No is a complete sentence. There’s no obligation on you to explain why. Just say No and move on.
  9. Predators are predators and will use any means available to gain access to their target victims. To believe otherwise would be naive. 
  10. Beware the conversational bullies. Those people who are determined to dismiss your opinions as being somewhat inferior to their own.

Sage Quotes (11-20):

  1. How you talk to yourself will dictate how you feel about yourself. So, talk positively. Focus on the good things you can offer the world.
  2. The future is an endless stream of opportunities which you can choose to take, or not, and you can make your life whatever you want it to be.
  3. Never assume other people will be working in your interests. They won’t. They’ll be working in their own interests. You should do the same.
  4. If politicians have the courage to tackle the issues that really matter to people, they might be surprised at just how much people start getting behind them.
  5. People have political power if they stick together and act in numbers large enough to frighten politicians. No sane government will ignore real people’s power. 
  6. Never apologise, and never explain because your apology will never be enough. If you’ve fallen foul of the mob, there’s no road to redemption, however contrite you try to be.
  7. The problem today is that sensible people say nothing when they should say something. If tyranny is not challenged, it takes hold and once it’s taken hold, we’re all in trouble. 
  8. Don’t compare yourself to anyone else. You’re not living their life and they’re not living yours. You are unique and your value to this world is you being the best version of yourself. 
  9. Over-tax the productive part of the economy and the result will be stagnation. Why bother taking business risks if you’ll be penalised should you succeed? Why would that make sense?
  10. We are governed by a set of clowns. The depressing thing is that there’s another set of clowns waiting in the wings. So, whatever happens, life is unlikely to improve for ordinary working people.

Sage Quotes (21-25):

  1. If you’re a politician and you’re incapable of truly appreciating the plight of the poor and ordinary working people, then don’t try engaging with such people as a PR stunt. You will only ever look clueless.
  2. Before deciding to go to university, ask yourself this. What will you gain by going? How will it better position you to get a job you’d want? The benefits of a university education are becoming marginal at best. 
  3. It may be a concern for you but unless it interrupts money and power then politicians won’t regard it as a problem and they’re unlikely to do anything about it, regardless of any suggestions they may make to the contrary.
  4. A true friend is someone you could call at 3 o’clock in the morning if you were in trouble with the reasonable expectation that they’d be happy to help you. Everyone else is just people you know with varying degrees of familiarity.
  5. The things of the greatest value in life cannot be bought. The love of family and old friends. The arms of your children around your neck. A good laugh with the people who matter most to you. These are things you cannot buy with gold.

Sage Quotes (26-30):

  1. The Media adheres unreservedly to intellectual fashion and groupthink. If you’re looking for a balanced analysis of those things that are having a major impact on our culture, you’re wasting your time looking for it in the mainstream media. 
  2. It seems like we’re seeing the total collapse of authority. A failure resulting from politicians lacking the courage to do what they know is necessary. They fear hostile media coverage more than they fear accountability to the electorate.
  3. Before you attempt to have fun at someone else’s expense, ask yourself this. How would you feel if you were on the receiving end of what you’re about to say or do? It may be a bit of fun for you, but will the other person see it that way? It’s only fun if it’s fun for everyone.
  4. Hiring managers are not there to be a solution to your problems. If you really want the job, you must demonstrate to them that you can be a solution to their problems. They don’t care about your hopes and dreams, they care about getting things done and whether you can help them do so. 
  5. Thieves can now rob you from the comfort of their own homes. Modern telecommunications make it easy for scammers. That together with people’s gullibility and their willingness to assume that any request from someone is genuine. View every request involving money with a sceptical eye.

02/08/2023 by

INTERESTING QUOTES BY LUCIUS B. WACKIf it’s interesting quotes you’re looking for, dear reader, then I have 30 more excellent observations from my good friend Lucius B. Wack.

Regular readers will know that a couple of my recent posts have curated quotes from this modern philosopher.

As previously stated, Lucius B. Wack is someone I admire so I thought it might be interesting to share some more of his thoughts on life today.

So, read these interesting quotes and see what you think.

I hope you find these observations about modern life in the western world interesting.

If you do, then please feel free to pass them on to your friends.

Interesting Quotes (1-10):

  1. Who will ever get justice from the mob?
  2. Policy cannot succeed if it’s based on falsehoods.
  3. If the price is your peace of mind, then it’s far too expensive.
  4. To live is a beautiful thing. Certainly, it’s better than the alternative.
  5. Work should serve us. We shouldn’t be slaves to our work. Life’s too short. 
  6. There’s no such thing as government money. There’s only taxpayers’ money.
  7. Today will be as productive as you choose to make it. So, make it very productive. 
  8. Why is it that the most hateful people are always those who are the first to accuse others of hate?
  9. The problem with those people who have an unshakeable belief that they know best is that usually, they don’t. 
  10. You won’t get authentic truth from anyone supported by big money. He (or she) who has the gold makes the rules.

Interesting Quotes (11-20):

  1. Beware of those who love to parade their virtue. Behind every virtuous mask, there’s usually an attitude that’s ugly. 
  2. Life’s full of problems and we all get our share. No one’s life’s perfect, regardless of any indications to the contrary. 
  3. When one is so convinced by the virtue of one’s own opinion, it’s easy to forget that one might be hopelessly wrong.
  4. The cavalry won’t be coming to save you. So, if you want your life to improve, you’ll need to work on saving yourself.
  5. If success is your aim, then you must have a definite sense of purpose. Know your why and you’ll find a way to get where you want to go. 
  6. Beware those people who will interpret what you say through the prism of their own prejudices and seek to use their distorted views against you.
  7. If it really matters, we must make time. Everyone has the same number of hours in the week. How we use them depends on our priorities.
  8. Failure is only failure if we fail to learn from it. Otherwise, it’s a useful lesson that’s the basis of that valuable commodity known as experience. 
  9. When someone says bow to my demands or face the consequences, there’s only one appropriate response. It’s two words, the second of which is off. 
  10. Have a go at anything and you’ll make mistakes. However, you’ll learn from those mistakes and over time you’ll hone your skills. Mastery starts with having a go.

Interesting Quotes (21-25):

  1. You don’t have to follow your heart but one day you’ll wish you did. Better to try and fail than spend the rest of your life wondering what might have been.
  2. Whatever you choose to say, regardless of how accurate or true it is, there will always be someone on social media who takes exception to it. That’s life today.
  3. Some people are so blinded by what they believe is virtue in their own opinions that they cannot begin to appreciate whether alternative opinions held by others have merit too.
  4. You may have a sound argument, but if it runs counter to the agenda of those with more sinister aims, they’ll simply dismiss you as a bigot. It’s the classic way of shutting down the debate.
  5. They strive to remove as many freedoms from ordinary folk as they can. They have a religious conviction in their own virtue and feel superior to what they see as the stupidity of the little people. 

Interesting Quotes (26-30):

  1. If you’re in charge, you’re not there to be liked. You’re there to be effective. If you’re effective, you’ll get respect. If you try to court popularity you won’t be effective and ultimately, you’ll fail.
  2. Why do we give so many stupid people so much power over our lives? Wherever you look in politics and public institutions there are stupid people who should never be anywhere near the levers of power.
  3. Each of us has a different journey through life and one person’s journey is not necessarily better or worse than another’s. It’s the choices we make and how we deal with the cards we’re dealt that will dictate our life experiences. 
  4. The greatest tyranny is the status quo. Vested interests don’t like to be challenged because they fear someone taking their lunch. They have no intention of sharing the cake with anyone else. That’s why they must be challenged constantly. 
  5. Be prepared to stand and fight if it matters to you or learn to accept that which would otherwise be unacceptable. If you don’t make a stand you must bow to those who pursue their own agenda even when it runs counter to the interests of the many.
