Even More Aphorisms by Marty Rubin

I’ve blogged about Marty Rubin’s aphorisms twice before, in 2009 and in 2011. Marty needs no introduction to regular readers of this blog, so I’ll let his sayings speak for themselves. For more of Marty’s musings, check out his blog: Out Of Context: Pieces of a Life.

 

Unless you’re walking your thoughts will get you nowhere.

 

Information is what you put in empty heads to keep them empty.

 

If you want to set your life in order, consider it already done.

 

What does introspection mean? It means you’re looking in the wrong direction.

 

Being awake is no different than sleeping if all you do is dream.

 

Digging, one finds more rocks than gold.

 

The sea is captive in a drop of water.

    @Ma Changshan: Ma, I’m sorry to her that. Nor for my sake but for the suppression of free speech.

    @marty rubin & Ma Changshan:

    I don’t think np’s aphorisms would be forbidden in China, because of its neutral and embracing philosophy. But personally I think np’s aphorism is something best for China now – it inspires a positive life attitude outside of range of politics, thus hopefully for a long run people could gradually gain a real (mental) strength before the real political reformation.

    edit: “np’s aphorisms ” = Marty Robin’s aphorisms.
    “np”= “nothingprofound”

    Hi, Ma Changshan, what do you mean? I did not leave any “link”.

    Hi Ma Changshan, after reminded by Marty robin, I guess the “link” you mentioned is the link from my name. Yes, it is blocked in China. But you know what, here is my sina blog (all in Chinese):
