My Favorite Quotes from Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey
Knowing the truth, seeing the truth, and telling the truth are all different experiences.
To lose the power of confrontation is to lose the power of unity.
It’s better to jump than to fall.
The intellect should simplify things, not make them more cerebral.
We often don’t get what we want because we quit early or we didn’t take the necessary risk to get it.
We are all made for every moment we encounter.
If we stay in the process and within the joy of the doing, we will never choke at the finish line.
Have immortal finish lines.
Sometimes which choice you make is not as important as making a choice and committing to it.
Some people look for an excuse to do, others look for an excuse not to.
It is not about whether you win or lose, it’s about accepting the challenge. When you accept the challenge you have already won.
Great leaders are not always in front, they also know who to follow.
We must be aware of what we attract in life because it is no accident or coincidence.
Time and truth, two constants you can rely on. One shows up for the first time, every time, while the other never leaves.
I hope to give my children an opportunity to find what they love to do, work to be great at it, pursue it, and do it.
