+- Slow is smooth and smooth is fast.
+- The tortoise is your friend.
+- Tigers are beautiful but nothing to fuck with. Not until we get right with them.
+- Balance of tiger, rhythm of tortoise. Hustle when you must.
+- Perfect is the enemy of good. Get the gist and keep moving.
+- Measure twice, cut once.
+- Pay attention. Appreciate the problem for what it really means.
+- Trust that you can do a good job because you want to.
+- Keep it simple, stupid. Complexity for complexity's sake is stupid.
+- Stupid is as stupid does.
+- Sometimes you just have to let shit go. You care about something, you get the fuck over it.
+- Swallow your goddamn pride.
+- When something is fucked up you say it, goddamnit.
+- Get angry for the babies.
+- We don't negotiate with terrorists. It never works — they just keep coming back if you do.
+- Good luck getting in anyways.
+- Some things aren't worth tearing yourself apart over.
+- You can't have any grey lines here.
+- Rules change. Commandments don't.
+- Prose can be misinterpreted.
+- We organize by volatility.
+- You can't grow forever instantly. Forever takes time.
+- Don't take life so seriously. Have fun. Take a break — you've earned it.
+- When I'm by myself I'm literally BY myself.
+- Some people aren't ready for some things. Pace like a parent, deny like a court.
+- It teaches and learns. That's so silly.
