Words to live by

[Karlaxx]

I'm so tempted to toss in some Imperium of Man dogma. Instead, I'll say that you have to find your strengths and make them work, at almost any cost.

 

[pyrokleptic]

no matter how much life sucks there is always someone who has it worse than you

 

[Mistermixmaster]

Something Furburt said once in a thread quite some time ago has stuck with me ever since (even though it wasn't aimed at me).

Go on, take the plunge. Tis better to regret something you have done than regret something you haven't.

Also, my personal motto: "Don't be afraid to try something new! A lone amateur built the Ark and a group of professionals built Titanic!"

Both of these quotes have changed my life for the better after I found 'em.

 

[Zorpheus]

"Early to rise and early to bed, makes a man healthy, but socially dead."

Okay, that was a gag quote... here's the real one I live by:
"Self-improvement is the most noble of goals."

 

[Padwolf]

I have quite a few:

"Life is a tragedy for those who feel and a comedy for those who think"

"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense."

"Let go of your attachment to being right, and suddenly your mind is more open. You're able to benefit from the unique viewpoints of others, without being crippled by your own judgment.
-- Ralph Marston"

 

[Neko Pounce]

"If it anit broke don't fix it. And if it is, Who gives a rats ass?"

 

[endnuen]

"Never expect.
Never pressure.
Never judge."
I cannot recall where I've heard it, but I true to the best of my abilities to abide by it.

 

[SovietSecrets]

"Everybody should believe in something; I believe I'll have another drink."

 

[Woodsey]

"DON'T PANIC"

Should get you through most cases.

 

[Duskwaith]

"To know what is right and not do it is the worst cowardice"

"The true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit."

and the one i live by is:

"Bravery is being the only one who knows you're afraid"

 

[thylasos]

"Still, you've got to laugh, eh?" (anon.)

"Practice doesn't make perfect, it only makes you better."

A common quote that a lot people have said to me, only, altered............a bit.

Ahh, my badminton coach taught me that one. I think he used to say.

It's not practice makes perfect, it's perfect preactice makes."

OMG, your badminton coach was Yoda?

OT - I like every cloud has a silver lining. It always makes me feel better

"lol"
Live by it. Of course I suppose it's technicaly not a word.

 

[Jedoro]

"Calm is what you have to be when people look to you. And it's all you can be when things are out of your hands."

"Never kill someone without a reason. You can always find a reason to kill someone."

"Everything in moderation, even moderation."

 

[blind_dead_mcjones]

"remember that the only two certainties in life are death and taxes"

 

[robot slipper]

Dory from Finding Nemo: "Just keep swimming"
When hard times are occuring in your life, just keep swimming and get through it!

 

[44-Blue]

do your best (anime style)

but really i live by only forward - be it look/live/go

 

[Old Father Eternity]

We must live, or we die.
Paradise on my right, hell on my left and the Angel of Death behind.-We tread on a fine line
Do not be in the company of those with whom you do not wish to die.
Always seek betterment of both mind and body but don't get trapped in the pursuit of perfection.
Choose your own golden path but never press your beliefs onto another.
Fate shapes us just as we shape it.
With age does not always come wisdom.
Time given to us is limited, so use it wisely.

"There may not be an "I" in team, but guess what? There's no "U" in team either! So if "I"'m not on the team, and "U"r not on the team, then nobody's on the goddamn team!

This team sucks"

... *sniff* I always tear up when I hear something this meaningful...
