Life Lessons Quote by Douglas Adams — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Ow! My brains!”

“I don't accept the currently fashionable assertion that any view is automatically as worthy of respect as any equal and opposite view. My view is that the moon is made of rock. If someone says to me 'Well, you haven't been there, have you? You haven't seen it for yourself, so my view that it is made of Norwegian Beaver Cheese is equally valid' - then I can't even be bothered to argue. There is such a thing as the burden of proof, and in the case of god, as in the case of the composition of the moon, this has shifted radically. God used to be the best explanation we'd got, and we've now got vastly better ones. God is no longer an explanation of anything, but has instead become something that would itself need an insurmountable amount of explaining. So I don't think that being convinced that there is no god is as irrational or arrogant a point of view as belief that there is. I don't think the matter calls for even-handedness at all.”

“What to do if you find yourself stuck in a crack in the ground underneath a giant boulder you can't move, with no hope of rescue. Consider how lucky you are that life has been good to you so far. Alternatively, if life hasn't been good to you so far, which given your current circumstances seems more likely, consider how lucky you are that it won't be troubling you much longer.”

“God's plan for you is always better than anything the world has to offer. Trust in His goodness, and know that He's guiding you towards a bright future filled with love, joy, and purpose.”

“There are things you should never see, there are thoughts you should never think, there are words you should never speak, and places you should never visit, if you choose intentional living.”

“Treat people as an end, and never as a means to an end”

“Just because you don’t like peanut butter doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t like . . . peanuts.”

“Learn the systems and structures that govern this world. A good understanding of how systems work will help you develop efficient strategies for success.”

“The only way to win someone's trust is by being honest with them.”
