You can't change others - you can only change yourself.

WTF does the op mean?
The Easy Day was Yesterday Gentlemen.
I think the OP means hang around with ****ers and you will always be a ****er.
Was gonna say the same Al.
You can only piss with the cock you've got, and...
If you can't work out who the arsehole is in a group, people probably think it's you. Don't be an arsehole. To anyone.

When I was about 12 my Grandfather gave me a framed and signed copy of Kipling's 'If' - I have it on my office wall at work for those moments when everything going to s**t!
Not so much motivational, but words I'll never forget, shouted at me as I jammed my finger through the bolt holes on a pair of flanges as an apprentice when trying to line them up. Probably a few hundred kg of pipe waiting to rip my finger off.
In the words of John Acky
What you doing? Would you put your cock in there?
(Me, sheepish) No.
Well divvint shove your fingers where you wouldn't put your cock then!
Advice I've lived by since then. 🙂

I have the same in my office, got it off my dad when I was 16.

No problem is an orphan.
Never stop considering that you might be completely and utterly wrong.
If it hasn't been tested, it doesn't work. Told to me by a gnarled old australian ASIC engineer.
a officer at kirk levington detention center, told me, when i was 16, that 'it is nice to be nice'.
i have tried to live my life on that advice since that day.
i reckon most people who have met me, will agree that the advice seems to be working still.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit.
My neighbour was an old carpenter,he saw me finishing work one Sunday and said "lad court your business and marry your girlfriend,don't court your girlfriend and be married to your buisines"
Sound advice.
I don't usually go in for mantras or words of wisdom, you can't encapsulate the huge complexities of life in a line or two, but...
An old boss of mine who I couldn't stand (and vice versa) once said "if we do what we did, we'll get what we got" and if I actually agreed with that socket on it I think, it must be good.
Move !!! you gormless xxxx !
I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

the deputy headteacher at school always said I was the master of my destiny. I think she got it from Henley.
It took me a long time to accept that.
here's the full version.
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.
Every rose has a thorn.

Sounds like part of the old Jewish proverb the last bit of which was used by Primo Levi for the title of his novel about Jewish partisans in WW2:
"If I am not for myself who is for me? And being for my own self, what am 'I'? And [b]if not now, when?[/b]"
Well worth a read if you haven't already although being a born procrastinator myself the obvious answer is 'maybe later?'.
I like the Zen proverb:
