You climb as hard as you can by just advancing one inch at a time. That's the secret of life. - Charlie Munger

The best antidote to folly from an excess of self-regard is to force yourself to be more objective when you are thinking about yourself, your family and friends, your property, and the value of your past and future activity. This isn't easy to do well and won't work perfectly but it will work much better than simply letting psychological nature take its normal course.

The best armour of old age is a well spent life perfecting it.

Face your big troubles, don’t sweep them under the rug.
