I always loved browsing such posts on reddit, so thought I should make one on lemmy too

Edit: Usually these kind of posts only used to have excerpts from books or ancient proverbs, but now I am seeing a lot more quotes from shows/movies/games are also resonating with people. It's pretty cool to see.

“You judge yourself by your intentions, but judge others by their actions”

This has helped me with my procrastination and helping to understand co-workers and people in general. Life gets busy and we always mean do get to things, but it’s really on what we actually do and complete that is real.

From citizen Kane:

"It's easy to make a lot of money, if all you want is a lot of money"

For my whole life is a tall order. Probably "what goes around comes around".
