I wondered what people's favourite quotes might be.

Here are some of mine.
  • Abraham Lincoln "Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe."
  • Abraham Lincoln "Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be."
  • W. Edwards Deming "If you can't describe what you are doing as a process, you don't know what you're doing."
I heard this one yesterday but I'm not sure who it's attributed to ...

"The secret of success is sincerity. Once you can fake that you’ve got it made."

Plato
That one is a belter for sure.

It made an impression on me when I first read it a year or so ago.

I do try to make allowances for people who's behaviour isn't an exact fit with my expectations; I have no idea what kind of st they're going through in their life.
