“Trust no one - not even yourself”

My dad told me this while going through a divorce. He was also going through a criminal trial due to his deviance.

Its one thing that stuck with me and I wish it didn’t.

Another one is from Lenin: " ‘There Are Decades Where Nothing Happens’ and ‘Weeks Where Decades Happen’ "

As a kid religion seemed like make believe, still I followed it and thought of myself as Catholics into early adult hood. Eventually I just started referring to myself as an atheist.
