“Get Back And Do Your Job'. How 'bout you go fornicate yourself with a rake?”

“Do you know what happens when you play a country song backwards? You get your wife back, your dog back and your job back.”

“The father’s job is to teach his children how to be warriors, to give them the confidence to get on the horse to ride into battle when it’s necessary to do so. If you don’t get that from your father, you have to teach yourself.”

“It's all right letting yourself go, as long as you can get yourself back.”

“I experienced that sinking feeling you get when you know you have conned yourself into doing something difficult and there's no going back.”

“Why are you always trying to get yourself killed?"
"It's my job."
"It's aof your job. At least for most Shadowhunters. For you it seems to be the purpose.”

“It's for you, not for me. You don't do anything for me. You do meditation, you do it for yourself. You get helped by that. There is no pay, nothing I am getting out of it. It's for you. If it's your privilege, if it's your convenience, you do it. It's for you, not for me. Go ahead, do meditation and you will see and you'll really, really observe how beautiful this Knowledge is.”

“You get tired of dealing with how other people think of what you're doing. It finally gets to the point where you realize that if you're going to do it the way you want, you have to do it yourself. That might mean putting up the money to do it yourself.”

“But for those folks who have lost their job right now because a plant went down the Mexico, that isn't going to make you feel better. And so what we have to do is to make sure that folks are trained for the jobs that are coming in now because some of those jobs of the past are just not going to come back, and when somebody says, like the person you just mentioned who I'm not going to advertise for, that he's going to bring all these jobs back, well how exactly are you going to do that? What are you going to do? There's — there's no answer to it. He just says, "Well, I'm going to negotiate a better deal." Well, how — what — how exactly are you going to negotiate that? What magic wand do you have? And usually, the answer is he doesn't have an answer.”

“Don't go getting full of yourself becuase once you do, somebody's going to come and let the wind out of your sails”
