Expect the worst and that's what you'll get only it will be much worse.
You long for success? Start at the bottom; dig down.
We are in a crisis of political comportment. We are witnessing the rise of the classless. Our politicians are becoming degenerate. This has been happening for a while but gets worse as the country coarsens. We are defining deviancy ever downward.
Fear creates its own self-fulfilling dynamic- as people give into it, they lose energy and momentum. Their lack of confidence translates into inaction that lowers confidence levels even further, on and on.
Each time I think there is no place lower to go, I find that there is at least one place that will mess you up worse than you were.
That path leads ever down into stagnation.
We are our own devils; we drive ourselves out of our Edens.
That is the key to history. Terrific energy is expended ... civilizations are built up ... excellent institutions devised; but each time something goes wrong. Some fatal flaw always brings the selfish and cruel people to the top, and then it all slides back into misery and ruin.
The less you know, the more I comprehend. You don't have to drag me down, I descend.
You watch guys live through their peaks, and then unfortunately, you've got to come down from that peak.
Limit your inputs to only those that support a certain kind of self-destructive behavior, and you can be cheered with enthusiasm as you drive yourself off a cliff.
There are no planes in the spiritual life; we are either going uphill or coming down.
Ambition aspires to descend.
It would be hard to get worse. I had only one direction to go.
Things are never so bad they can't be made worse.
The ones who don't do anything are always the ones who try to pull you down.
When you're at the top, there's only one way to go.
Don't they always go from bad to worse? There's no turning back--your old self rejects you, and shuts you out. ~Lilly Bart
Trump doesn't know it yet, but he will become one of the guys that he hates very soon. Soon he will be a loser.
I knew 'Hurt' way before Dad recorded it. In 1992, 'Downward Spiral' was one of my favorite albums.
Corporate America cannot afford to remain silent or passive about the downward spiral we are undergoing. It cannot turn a blind eye to how difficult the experience of life is for so many of their customers.
Dying for dark — and the darker the Worse. Strange.
Once a country descends into evil, it doesn't emerge.
No matter how bad things are, you can always make things worse.
I know if I rest, I'll slide downhill fast.
