So, finally i can forum post  and rather than tediously asking for advice, figured maybe a different question.
There are posts on fave quotes, inspirational quotes...but is there one quote that fundamentally changed you and your perceptions. Not the pintrest and instagram everyman (woman) quotes but one that made you actually change?
The one for me that altered things is the Tony Robinson line
"Trade your expectations to appreciation and the world changes instantly"

I actually told this to my boss some months back, when it transpired he’s going through a relationship break up of 20 years with two young kids.
In the heat of a discussion / argument, think before you speak. If your mother wouldn’t be proud of what you’re about to say, don’t say it.
Mother can be swapped of course for someone else important. He’s thanked me a few times now for this simple pearl of wisdom. |

Anyway, from the late great Alan watts: 'If I talk all the time, I don't hear what anyone else has to say. Then I'll end up in the situation of having nothing to talk about but my own talking.

Last one I promise... 'The human race is stuck in a giant quagmire when it comes to our behavior and our thinking about our behavior; but there comes a certain point in time when you have to pop the training wheels off. You have to recognise that all of this morality that you've developed is good because it's good to treat other people good. It's good to treat other people the way you would like to be treated yourself. It's like a golden rule, and there's a reason for it. That reason is that we're connected in some strange way that we don't totally understand, and unless you are good to other people around you; unless you are kind and friendly and warrant loving; you're not going to enjoy this life. You're just not.' |

I know o said last one but just remembered this one from Tim minchin... Happiness is like an orgasm: if you think about it too much, it goes away. Keep busy and aim to make someone else happy, and you might find you get some as a side effect. We didn’t evolve to be constantly content. Contented homoerectis got eaten before passing on their genes. |

Carpe Diem (roughly translates to seize the day)
I'm older than I was yesterday, but younger than I'll ever be again.
I can only piss with the cock I was born with.
They're hands not wands.
If you're not going to shit, get off the pot!

Follow your nose, unless it smells like crap. Then follow your toes. |

Everyone says love hurts, but that is not true. Loneliness hurts. Rejection hurts. Losing someone hurts. Envy hurts. Everyone gets these things confused with love, but in reality love is the only thing in this world that covers up all pain and makes someone feel wonderful again. Love is the only thing in this world that does not hurt.” |

I had a friend who, after a particularly long and thought out conversation, said to me:
"Thinking too much is a bad thing: it makes your head hurt, and you make yourself believe bad things."
Now I stop and regroup when I find I've given something too much thought. It's my favorite quote ever. |

One phrase that I have never forgotten came from a teacher at school when I was about 14. The class was discussing sex and relationships etc.
She said "when all is said and done - far more is said than is done"
She was making reference to people talking about others experiences and bragging/criticising.
For me it can apply to many areas of life and is a reminder that many people are full of shite! |

Being involved with sport...this is just brilliant and can apply to so many things in life.
"I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."

Swearing is a sign of intelligence as well! Means you use a larger vocabulary of words and expressive terms |
