Do you have a quote you live your life by or think of often?

There exists so many great quotes to choose from; I often find it difficult deciding on which one to quote.

However, there does exist one quote in particular that has had the most bearing on my personal, private, and public lives; I may as well quote it here for WP:

Hablando del rey de Roma [Speaking of the “Man of Sin,” (Greek: ὁ ἄνθρωπος τῆς ἁμαρτίας, ho anthrōpos tēs hamartias)] 

Por la puerta asoma […through the door, he rears his ugly crown!]

The world’s all-time Best-Seller, ever!
(cf., Proverbs 23:1-5; Matthew 6:23-25; 2 Thessalonians 2:3–10)

He pointed to his head and said, “That’s prime real estate, Luca. Don’t let ’em squat there rent free!”

OVERVIEW

philistine

QUICK REFERENCE

A person devoted narrow-mindedly to material prosperity at the expense of intellectual and artistic awareness; or (as an adjective) ignorantly uninterested in culture and ideas. This sense of the term comes from the insulting label Philister applied by German students to their non-academic neighbours in university towns, likening them to the enemies of the chosen people in the Hebrew scriptures; it was given wide currency in English by the poet and critic Matthew Arnold in his book Culture and Anarchy (1869), which attacks the philistinism of the British middle class. Arnold usually applied the term ‘the Philistines’ to the prosperous bourgeoisie, especially to its nonconformist Liberal representatives.

Hablando del rey de Roma, por la puerta asoma (cf., Proverbs 23:1-5; Matthew 6:23-25)

Jeremiah 8:8
Expanded Bible

8 “‘·You keep saying [L How can you say…?], “We are wise,
    ·because we have the teachings of the Lord [L and the teachings/laws/instructions of the Lord are with us].”
But actually, ·those who explain the Scriptures
    have written lies with their pens [L the false pens of the scribes have made it a lie].

Genesis 4:13-17
Expanded Bible

13 Then Cain said to the Lord, “This punishment is more than I can ·stand [bear]! 14 Today you have forced me ·to stop working [L from] the ground, and now I ·must hide from you [or will be hidden from your face]. I ·must wander around [L will be a fugitive and wanderer/homeless wanderer] on the earth, and ANYONE ¿who? ·MEETS [finds] me can kill me.”

15 The Lord said to Cain, “No! If ANYONE kills you, I will ·punish [avenge] ¿THAT PERSON? seven times more.” Then the Lord put a mark [C the nature of the mark is uncertain] on Cain warning ANYONE ¿WHO? ·MET [finds] him not to kill him. (cf., Jeremiah 8:8)

Cain’s Family

16 So Cain went away from the Lord and lived in the land of Nod [C resembles a Hebrew word meaning “wanderer”], east of Eden. 17 He ·had ¿SEXUAL RELATIONS? with [L knew; 4:1] ¿HIS WIFE?, and ¿SHE? ·became pregnant [conceived] and gave birth to Enoch. At that time ·Cain [L he] was building a city, which he named after his son Enoch. (cf., Jeremiah 8:8)

cf., 14 The Lord God said to the serpent, (cf., Jeremiah 8:8; Genesis 4:13-17)

“Because you have done this,
You are cursed more than all the cattle,
And more than any animal of the field;
On your belly you shall go,
And dust you shall eat
All the days of your life.

“They were stronger than Turk and Saracen, but not than Hunger and Disease. Leaders did not know then, as our little Friend at Berlin came to know, that ‘an Army, like a serpent, goes upon its belly.’“

14
Therefore the Lord cuts off head and tail [the highest and the lowest] from Israel,
Both [the high] palm branch and [the low] bulrush in one day.
15
The elderly and honorable man, he is the head;
And the prophet who teaches lies, he is the tail.
16
For those who lead this people are causing them to go astray;
And those who are led [astray] by them are swallowed up.

(cf., Jonah in the Belly of the Beast)
