I start:

“Stop trying to change someone who does not want to change.
Stop giving chances to someone who abuses your forgiveness.
Stop walking back to the place where your heart ran from.
Stop trusting their words and ignoring their actions.
Stop breaking your own heart.”

(Trent Shelton)

And a "lighter" one:

"History was written at night with alcohol and women".

(Unknown Korean philosopher)

On the subject of how to go through life, I'm reminded by the words of the great philosopher, Chuckles the Clown:

A little song, a little dance. A little seltzer down your pants.

(Explaining the "rationale" behind senseless crime.)

"...Some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn." -- The Dark Knight

Oh, goody; I have lots of quotes! I've been collecting them for years:

"Never interfere with an enemy while he’s in the process of destroying himself." - Napoleon Bonaparte

"There is nothing so whole as a broken heart" and "The whole world is a very narrow bridge; the important thing is not to be afraid." - Rabbi Nachman of Bratslav

"We have met the enemy, and he is us." - Walt Kelly

“Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power.” — Abraham Lincoln

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion... I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain... Time to die."

~ Roy Batty
