Some General Pete Philosophies:

On Money -- "You get what you give.  You will be paid for the value you add to the world.  Money is just how most people measure it.  So if you don't have what you want, ask yourself if you're doing enough to get it."

On other people liking you -- "You can't please everyone because they can't please themselves.  What people don't like about you is the shit they see in themselves, or their jealousy of your freedom.  Hence, the more they hate you, the more you learn what pussies they really are."

On judging people -- "I don't believe anything is deviant unless others are expected to pay for it in some way."

On control -- "You only have one thing to control...your own head.  That makes things easier than trying to control the whole world.  The world will hand you problems, just say SO GOD DAMN WHAT.....it's really all you can do.  Accept the circumstances, but reject how they're supposed to make you feel."

On self defence -- "It's the most important thing you can do for your confidence and peace of mind.  Keep in mind, it's not about learning how to fight, it's about making it as hard as possible for someone to defeat you and shut you up."

On personal perfection -- "Ii's a fine balance between solving problems and judging people.  I try to maintain that balance.  Sometimes I succeed, sometimes....not so much.  But hell, I'm not perfect and neither are you."
