You know, that's always been a favorite of mine, but I'm realizing now it's not always applicable. I can handle people sarcastic with me, but not everyone can...so, I've tweaked it a little in some situations "treat others the way they want to be treated."

But, for the most part, I love the Golden Rule.

I have lots of ones I like, but this is one of my real favorites:

Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first. - Mark Twain

I have typeset several quote book collections for clients, so have many quotes at my disposal!

While we are on Mark Twain,

here is my favorite all time quote which is also by him!!! And Oh so true...

"When I was fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have him around. When I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years".

Watch your thoughts, they become words.
Watch your words, they become actions.
Watch your actions, they become habits.
Watch your habits, they become character.
Watch your character, they become destiny.

My sister gave this one to me when I was a senior in High School.
Go Forth like a Flame and all in your path will be consumed.

And this one I got in an email, and I'm trying hard to RETHINK - and RE-LIVE it... and follow it... especially recently......

Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God.
And
Psalms 23 always speaks to me....

I like those...

A guy (I didn't catch the name) is apparently considering a run for the Presidency. He is a Republican I think... and he is taking the position of an everyday citizen. He wants everyone to know that the main difference between himself and his would be competition is wealth. He states that he had nothing and has worked his way up to where he's at, and he says of the others...

"they were born on third base and they go around telling folks they 'hit a triple'"!!!

I really thought that was clever!

"An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind." - Mahatma Gandhi

I'm not sure who said this, but I really like it!

"Life is a work of art, designed by the one who lives it."

"We must be the change we want to see in the world"
~ Mahatma Gandhi

"Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it is too dark to read." -Groucho Marx

**Lobodeb** · 01-31-2007, 10:07 AM

This one is on my myspace profile, but I'm not sure who said it, "The most dangerous place in the world is between a mother and her child."

And in reference to long distance relationships (again, don't know who said it)
"Distance can ignite a strong flame and extinguish a weak one."

This is totally one of my favorites too, a philosophy I try very much to live by.

Another favorite is one I came up with a long time ago

"One who is perfect is nothing at all. We strive for perfection, therefore we strive for extinction"

And of course my siggy
