Deep quotes you heard or made up?

"It is better to be an unsatisfied thinker than a satisfied fool.
The wise man plagued with trouble and doubt is better off
than the contented oblivioso who worries not."
 
You say I'm always bringing up "the negatives".
You want me to talk about the "positives" more.
Well what good would that do?
The positives are what is already right; they do not need any further discussion.
The negatives are what still need to be fixed, and are thus the only points worthy of any serious conversation.

Depends on how you measure ‘to be better’
If the goal is to be content, then your statements is wrong.

Yes, every value statement is ultimately subjective, depending on the frame of reference. There is not really a tangible absolute value on anything in every conceivable situation.
However, there are several qualities that are generally seen as positive due to how few situations there are where the opposite is more desirable.
One of these qualities is wisdom; it is generally seen as a virtue to be wise, and is generally seen as bad to be foolish, because there are many more benefits than setbacks to being wise, and many more setbacks than benefits to being foolish.
While being wise is not objectively "good" in and of itself, it does yield a great deal of advantages, so it can be seen as "good" through a utilitarian lens, just like being strong is better than being weak, because there are not many circumstances where being less capable is more profitable than being more capable.

We are all animals, but maybe that is what was meant.
Anyway, other animals just differs in what their force is. Could be speed, strength a.s.o.
The animal Homo Sapiens has a mixture of them. We brag about our intellect, but many animals can easily take us out and eat us, or use as food for the offspring.
 
with regards to relationships... "Never dig through the trash, after it has been taken to the curb. You get wet, dirty, you smell bad, your neighbors see you do it, and what you find is never, ever, as valuable as you thought it was."
 
A father told his daughter, "Congrats on your graduation. I bought you a car a while back. I want you to have it now."
Before I give it to you, take it to a car dealer in the city and sell it. See how much they offer.”
The girl came back to her father and said: "They offered me $10,000 dollars because it looks very old"
Father said: "Ok, now take it to the pawn shop".
The girl returns to her father and said: "The pawn shop offered $1,000 dollars because it's a very old car and a lot of work done".



The father told her to join a passionate car club with experts and show them the car. The girl drove to the passionate car club. She returned to her father after a few hours and told him, “Some people in the club offered me $100,000 dollars because its a rare car that's in good condition.”
 
Admitting "I don't know" is leagues more respectable
than making up a rationalization and pretending like you do.
