Ask HN: Which quote had the biggest impact on your life?

"Many, many men have been just as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now. Happily, some of them kept records of their troubles. You'll learn from them - if you want to. Just as someday, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you. It's a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn't education. It's history. It's poetry." - The Catcher In The Rye

"Karmanye vaadikaaraste ma phaleshu kadaa chana"

Sanskrit quote from the Gita, meaning: "Do the right thing, do not worry about results, the fruits / success will come eventually."

If you keep doing what you're doing you'll keep getting what you're getting.

As a dev, I obviously made an acronym for it: ykdykg

I loved this one as well.

And this one : "Most people use excuses. Don't be most people"

You miss a 100% of the shots you don't take.
