The path of least resistance is the path of the loser.
Anything for a quiet life.
People seem to want to follow the beaten path. The difficulty is that the beaten path doesn't seem to be leading anywhere.
It didn't matter if I got bitten by a dog or I ripped my pants on the fence post or I poked myself in the eye with a tree branch that I was crawling over, it was all about the shortcut. My whole life I took the shortcut, and I ended up lost.
I've always gone with the flow.
I know people who are always freeriders and will never get into a fight.
I wanted to be a priest. I could have done that. I wanted to be a doctor. I could have done that. Circumstances didn't lead me to it, so my fallback option was business. I wasn't really motivated to this.
No, I don't believe in hard work. If something is hard, leave it. Let it come to you. Let it happen.
To run away from trouble is a form of cowardice and, while it is true that the suicide braves death, he does it not for some noble object but to escape some ill.
Life would have been easier for me if I had taken the path of least resistance.
I'm drawn to the path of least resistance.
There is no expedient to which a man will not go to avoid the labor of thinking.
My philosophy is different than most of the people up here. I think if you do the right thing and you lose, you still did the right thing. I think if you do less than the right thing and win, it’s morally reprehensible.
There are times when it is more courageous to be cowardly.
If you get into the habit of cutting corners, they start to add up.
The horrible truth is that I am lazy and I am going to write and do bits that just hand themselves to me.
If I want to pad the record, just fight pretenders, get a quick paycheck and keep moving on and racking up wins, that's not something I want to be known for.
If you take shortcuts, you get cut short.
Why waltz with a guy for 10 rounds if you can knock him out in one?
The tendency to follow the path of least resistance guarantees failure in life.
Cast aside any column about two subjects. It means the pundit chickened out on the hard decision about what to write about that day.
It is often laziness and timidity that keep us within our duty while virtue gets all the credit.
