1. "I'll so offend to make offense a skill; Redeeming time when men think least I will. "- Shakespeare (Henry IV Volume 1)

This quote comes before the transformation of Prince Harry into King Henry.

"What Harry is saying is … I am going to change up who people think I am. I've got something to prove. I'm going to throw off an old mantle and become transformed into something new." -DG

2. "Habits are the compound interest of self-improvement. The same way that money multiplies through compound interest, the effects of your habits multiply as you repeat them. They seem to make little difference on any given day and yet the impact they deliver over the months and years can be enormous." - James Clear, Atomic Habits

Compound interest is a powerful force. We know how it works in investing but often fail to see how our daily actions compound. What you do today impacts who you are tomorrow.

3. "So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours.

Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. 

Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide. Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, even a stranger, when in a lonely place.

Show respect to all people and grovel to none.

When you arise in the morning, give thanks for the food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself. Abuse no one and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision.

When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way.

Sing your death song and die like a hero going home." -Chief Tecumseh

"I believe the following quotation presents principles for anyone seeking to make meaning of their time here on earth as well as to take a disciplined and pragmatic approach to investing." Zach Timpe (RBI podcast listener)

4. "If a thing is worth doing, it's worth doing badly." G K Chesterton

"He was advocating for amateurs and hobbyists, not for giving poor efforts." -DG

"If it brings you joy, then it's worth doing even if the results aren't deemed 'good.'" -Matt Rantalla (RBI podcast listener)

5. "The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago. The second best time is now." -Chinese Proverb

Sometimes we fail to start because we think we are too late. This is an excellent reminder that it's never too late to start. Haven't started yet? Start today!
