The one quote I've found super useful to apply in my life when needed, is that 'energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only transformed.'

So what's the one quote you have found most useful knowing so far in you're own life?

"Trust no-one x"

I saw a quote a while ago that said something along the lines of 'you can love anyone, but trust has to be built.' So true.

I don't think he disagrees, he stated that quote himself. But I'm open to the rightful correction if I am wrong here.

Don't ever sacrifice your authenticity for other people's approval.

When they tell you that your pieces don't fit with theirs, don't go breaking off parts of yourself to prove them wrong

"It is what it is "

This is my most used quote.

It's also great when trying to leave a conversation that's involved somebody moaning the whole time.

Another favorite is "aahh what can you do" (shrugs shoulders)
