I love these quotes ! The third one is very true and that's the world we live in.
I also have a quote that I live by. "our thoughts shape our reality"

3rd one and 4th one are very true in today's world. your's is a good one too!

The quote on "If you don't read the newspaper, you're uninformed, if you do read the newspaper, you're misinformed", is so applicable in today's world, where there is a certain level of bias, political influence and exaggeration in the news reported. It's like we need to pick the facts and derive our won conclusion and filter out the media hype from the news. What do you all think?

MSM are not a source of information, they're just a source of news. alternative media and alternative journalists are the real deal.

I see your point. Thank you!

Great quotes! Also, my personal favorite:

“There is no royal road to anything. One thing at a time, all things in succession. That which grows fast, withers as rapidly. That which grows slowly, endures.”
– Josiah Gilbert Holland

I love this one too! I'm all for the long term so this applies to me.

If you don't read the newspaper, you're uninformed, if you do read the newspaper, you're misinformed

i like such catch-22 situations, when in either case you are f#cked all the same :D

Haha, agreed. I also like the fact that that quote collides with the first one . You need to understand to be free but you can't understand politics (for example) by reading newspapers (or following MSM)

Great quotes worth remembering. Now following you.
