Rubyisms... from Kind of a Lot with Matt Ruby
Mantras, sayings, and lessons that Matt has collected throughout his life.
Over the summer, Matt and I recorded a few episodes of his podcast in which we discussed various aphorisms, mantras, and other brief thoughts he's collected that represent lessons he’s learned throughout his life. I thought I'd collect all three episodes in one place, so hope you enjoy!

- Make your violence beautiful. Make your violence, beautiful.
- Just because something is illegal doesn't mean it's wrong. Laws often have an ulterior motive.
