Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.
Never discourage anyone... who continually makes progress, no matter how slow.

Excellence is not a gift, but a skill that takes practice. ~Plato8

"Mmmmm....donuts...."

“Well, gaaaaaawleeeeeee”.
~ Gomer2 -
The inexperienced in wisdom and virtue, ever occupied with feasting and such, are carried downward, and there, as is fitting, they wander their whole life long, neither ever looking upward to the truth above them nor rising toward it, nor tasting pure and lasting pleasures. Like cattle, always looking downward with their heads bent toward the ground and the banquet tables, they feed, fatten, and fornicate. In order to increase their possessions they kick and butt with horns and hoofs of steel and kill each other, insatiable as they are.

"Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit."

I just came for the Plato quotes.

And probably the most appropriate quote for a weight management fora:
“The greatest wealth is to live content with little”

One more appropriate quote for weight management:
Long term consistency trumps short term intensity ~Bruce Lee4 -
If you can read, you can cook.
~ Julia Child

There are three classes of men; lovers of wisdom, lovers of honor, and lovers of gains.

When we make progress quickly, it feeds our emotions. Then, when there's a period of waiting or we hit a plateau, we find out how committed we really are and whether we're going to see things through to the finish or quit.

Probably. "Plato" is actually a nickname, meaning "broad" - this dude was ripped. He was also a wrestler. It's exactly like if Dwayne Johnson started publishing philosophical texts under the name "The Rock," and people thousands of years hence remembered him only by that name.7 -

Fun fact- Plato was essentially known as the Hulk Hogan of his time. His name Plato is actually a nickname from his wrestling coach after the word platon, meaning “broad”.4 -

There are three kinds of people: those who make things happen, those who watch things happen and those who wonder what happened.2

Took a fast dive from Plato to pop-culture cracker-jack philosophy though. Also pretty MFP-esque, that. 😆1 -

We know, we know.
But we talk about plateaus all the time so it was refreshing to talk about Plato and other philosophers instead4
