The best Quotes by Mike Shinoda

Go find something that you haven't done before. Don't do the same thing over and over again.

Dream big, work hard and don't be an a-shole.

I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
Don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes

Sharp edges have consequences, I
Guess that I had to find out for myself
Sharp edges have consequences, now
Every scar is a story I can tell

'Don't you run with scissors, son
You're gonna hurt someone'
Mama told me look before you leap
Always think before you speak
And watch the friends you keep

I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not alright
So I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
Tonight

All I know
Time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away

When you were standing in the wake of devastation
When you were waiting on the edge of the unknown
And the cataclysm raining down
Insides crying 'Save me now'

Your lips say that you love
Your eyes say that you hate

But no one would listen
'Cause no one else cared

When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed

I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter

I tried so hard and got so far
But in the end, it doesn't even matter
I had to fall to lose it all.
But in the end, it doesn't even matter

"You see, Momo," he told her one day, "it's like this: Sometimes, when you've a very long street ahead of you, you think how terribly long it is and feel sure you'll never get it swept."
He gazed silently into space before continuing.
"And then you start to hurry," he went on. "You work faster and faster, and every time you look up there seems to be just as much left to sweep as before, and you try even harder, and you panic, and in the end you're out of breath and have to stop - and still the street stretches away in front of you. That's not the way to do it."

He pondered a while. Then he said, "You must never think of the whole street at once, understand? You must only concentrate on the next step, the next breath, the next stroke of the broom, and the next, and the next. Nothing else."
Again he paused for thought before adding, "That way you enjoy your work, which is important, because then you make a good job of it. And that's how it ought to be."
