What sort of saying or quote do you live by?

Post Reply New Topic

You can post a quote or saying you made up or something a famous person or someone else you know made up.

This is a quote I live by day by day:

"Do not take any people who are zestful about their views seriously, for they are sinning themselves. They are letting ego and pride blind them."-Me, Sierra Bell

If you can't do something right, do something nice.


and

When in trouble or in doubt, run in circles scream and shout. (now I don't really do this...the phrase just makes me smile)

"You should never let the sun set on tomorrow before the sun rises today"

"If I Am" - Nine Days

"Hey, you damn kids, stay off my lawn!! !"

-Crazy old man in my neighborhood, while brandishing a shotgun.

I try to stay off the "lawns" of prejudice and deceit.

~At first you dont succeed, get up and try again~ Try again..Aaliyah

I live my life by many quotes, but i'll just pick one out of the blue hehehe .

Legalize Everything!

and

Intelligence ends at Decatur. (This is a reference to the fact that heading northwest on U.S. Highway 287 from Fort Worth to Wichita Falls--where I attend school--that open-mindedness and intelligence reaches its limit at the town of Decatur, the first town one reaches after leaving Fort Worth. Appropriately, it's located in Wise County).

If some is good, more MUST be better!

Why do now what you can put off for later?

and

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

My two sayings that I live by are "Curiosity may have killed the cat, but it sure gets all your questions answered!" (one that my Dad taught me), and "Who knows what will happen if you ask."

Here's one that is true:

Hardee's and Carl's Jr. are the same place.

This one sometimes helps me avoid a cycle of "why do bad things always seem to happen to me?":

Nothing ever happens to you. Things just happen. The way you react to things happening is what you make happen to yourself.

(Quote by a yoga instructor in L.A.)

"Be the change you wish to see in the world." Mahatma Gandhi

"View life as if the road ahead were a wheatfield of gold, and don't ever look back at the stubble behind you." - Me.

"Buck Naked,porn-star damn glad to meet you."

Illegitimi Non Carborundum!

Or, song-wise:

And if I have a choice, I'll take the voice I've got,
'Cause it was hard to find,
You know I've come too far to wind up right back where I started,
Won't let them tell me who I should be,
I'll never let the monkeys make a mess of me,
I'll be who I am and that's all I can do,
But I'm true...
- Concrete Blonde, "True", Concrete Blonde

"We may lose and we may win, but we will never be here again"
-the Eagles

"do or not do, there is no try"
-Yoda

"Bring me that horizon"
-Capt. Jack Sparrow

"What is it that you despise? It is this that tells who you really are"
-Dune, Frank Herbert
