What Life Maxims do you live by?

[RufflyRustic]

What sayings/proverbs etc do you find you tend to live by?

What goes around comes around
Pay it forward
Treat others as you'd wish to be treated
There's always a gold lining in a black cloud somewhere, however small.

Never look a gift horse in the mouth
There's no such thing as a free lunch
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
Life is full of contradictions

[bitingmidge]

Life is full of contradictions

No it's not.

[Kev Y.]

Never argue with an idiot
Do unto others before they do unto you
dont put off today what you can put off tomorow

[NewLou]

Do unto others as they do to you
Just do the best you can with what you have at the time
Wisdom is good knowledge put into action
Actions speak louder than words
It works if you work it

Ops I forgot one.........................HUNT For Positives

A dead cat is a good cat. :D

[Zed]

do unto others before they do unto you

dont get caught

a bird in the hand is soon in the oven

if at first you dont suceed, stop trying

if you cant win fairly, cheat

its only stealing if you get caught

beauty is only skin deep, ugly goes to the bone.

Every day above ground is a good day
Another beautiful day to be alive
Your not lost, unless its a dead-end street
Ignore that rat that's running around in you head
Never listen to expert's, 'cause an expert is a (has been drip under pressure)
Measure twice, cut once, but it still makes good fire wood

Normell

[zenwood]

"This statement is false."

[silentC]

There's more than one way to skin a cat... but my way is best.
Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than open it and remove all doubt.

[JackoH]

He who laughs last, laughs longest. (But he also gets a reputation for being an idiot!}

[shrek]

Live each day as if it is your last, as one day you are sure to be right.

[Driver]

1. He who laughs last thinks slowest.

2. Everyone has a photographic memory. Some don't have film.

3. A day without sunshine is like... night.

4. On the other hand, you have different fingers.

5. Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.

6. I just got lost in thought. It was unfamiliar territory.

7. Seen it all, done it all, can't remember most of it.

8. Those who live by the sword get shot by those who don't.

9. I feel like I'm diagonally parked in a parallel universe

10. I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be without sponges.

11. Honk if you love peace and quiet.

12. Despite the cost of living, have you noticed how it remains so popular?

13. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

14. It is hard to understand how a cemetery raised its burial cost and blamed it on the cost of living.

15. Just remember...if the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off.

16. The 50-50-90 rule: Anytime you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there's a 90% probability you'll get it wrong.

17. It is said that if you line up all the cars in the world end to end, someone would be stupid enough to try and pass them.

18. You can't have everything, where would you put it?

19. Latest survey shows that 3 out of 4 people make up 75% of the world's population.

20. The things that come to those who wait are usually the things left by those who got there first.

21. A fine is a tax for doing wrong. A tax is a fine for doing well.

22. It was recently discovered that research causes cancer in rats.

23. Everybody lies, but it doesn't matter since nobody listens.

24. I wished the buck stopped here, as I could use a few.

25. I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it.

26. Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

[Gumby]

If it wasn't for gravity, the sky would be full of dead birds :eek:

[dan_tom]

Number one and number two nothing else goes down the loo.

Everybody is trust worthy until proven otherwise.

If a job is worth doing it is worth doing well, until you get bored, make a mistake, realise doing well wastes time or you cannot be bothered.

The grass should look greener on your side of the fence... damn water restrictions.

Finally, be nice to others and they might be nice to you.

[Barry_White]

Never argue with an idiot


Because anyone watching may not know the difference.

[Andy Mac]

You reap what you sow
Assume the best of people untill they prove otherwise
Measure twice cut once
If at first you don't succeed, give up before you smash the ****ing thing
Never put your finger where you wouldn't put your willy first
Cut your way in and weld your way out

Cheers,

[Driver]

Here are a few more:-

1. If you're too open minded, your brains fall out.
2. Age is a very high price to pay for maturity.

14. Junk is something you've kept for years and throw away three weeks before you need it.
15. There is always one more idiot than you counted on.
16. Experience is a wonderful thing. It enables you to recognise a mistake when you make it again.
17. By the time you've figured out how to make ends meet, they’ve moved the ends.
18. Thou shalt not weigh more than thy refrigerator.
19. Someone who thinks logically provides a nice contrast to the real world.

& a few more thanks to Google.... I was lookinmg for the 4th last one & found this lot.

Never name a pig you plan to eat.

Country fences oughta' be horse high, pig tight, and bull strong.

Life ain't about how fast you run, or how high you climb. It's about how good you bounce.

Keep skunks and gossipers at a distance.

Life is simpler when you plow around the stumps.

A bumble bee is faster than a John Deere tractor.

Trouble with a milk cow is...she won't stay milked.

Don't skinny dip with snapping turtles.

Words that soak into your ears are whispered...not yelled.

Meanness don't happen overnight.

To know how country folks are doing, look at their barns, not their houses.

Never lay an angry hand on a kid or an animal. It just ain't helpful.

Teachers, Moms, and hoot owls sleep with one eye open.

Forgive your enemies. It messes with their heads.

Don't sell your mule to buy a plow.

Two can live as cheap as one...if one don't eat.

Don't corner something meaner than you.

You can catch more flies with honey than vinegar...if you're in to catchin' flies.

It don't take a very big person to carry a grudge.

Don't go drinkin' with a fellow named Chug-A-Lug.

You can't unsay a cruel remark.

Every path has some puddles.

Don't wrestle with pigs. You'll get all muddy, and the pigs'll love it.

The best sermons are lived, not preached.

Most of the stuff people worry about never happens.

The early bird gets the worm. But...the second mouse gets the cheese.

[Simomatra]

If it works its not broken

[Ashore]

You only get out of life what you put into it

Do unto others as you think they might be going to do unto you , but get in first

Trust not and you won't be disapointed

Always cut the longest piece first, then when is wrong you can still get the shorter piece from it.

Always carry two handkerchiefs when you are married, have children or grandchildren.

When sharing a cab with others always sit in the back

Never change a nappie , once they get you to do one they want you to do them all


The trouble with life is there's no background music.

[TEEJAY]

Life is like a box of chocolates

Happiness is largely a matter of digestion

Babies are the nicest way to start making people

All creatures have a sense of territory except children

The hardest arithmetic to master is that which enables us to count our blessings

Progress is impossible without change; and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.

Never to sufferwould have been never to have been blessed

Some people are so sensitive they feel snubbed if an epidemic overlooks them

Greater love hath no man than this; that a man lay down his life for his friends.

A man travels the world over in search of what he needs and returns home to find it.

Growth demands a temporary surrender of security.

I try not to live life by any common axiom as there are too many contradictory ones, which we often use in debate to highlight a point rightly or otherwise,
............... but despite that there is something I say occassionally "if when they're kicking the dirt into the hole in the ground, & people say he wasn't a bad fella and no-one was unduly wronged by him, then that life was a good one.

Smile, it is rewarding when a stranger smiles back!

A true friend is someone who drops everything to help you!..Don't forget to do the same for them!..

Even when you know someone doesn't care for your company, be pleasant in theirs!

Be foregiving, some people do not know when they are being an idiot!

Take all that life gives, one day it will stop giving!..

A lady slaps you once, if you are a gentleman, cop it, you probably asked for it!..If she tries to do it again, warn her!...Third time give as good as you get!..

Never be ashamed of making a mistake, it's part of human nature to screw up everything we touch!..Just don't keep touching it!!...

___________________________________________
[IF]

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
But make allowance for their doubting too,
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream--and not make dreams your master,
If you can think--and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings--nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much,
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And--which is more--you'll be a Man, my son!


--Rudyard Kipling

[Driver]

And just to take it to a classical level!

Polonius's advice to his son Laertes:

Give thy thoughts no tongue,
Nor any unproportioned thought his act.
Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar.
Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried,
Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel;
But do not dull thy palm with entertainment
Of each new-hatch’d, unfledg’d comrade. Beware
Of entrance to a quarrel; but, being in,
Bear’t that the opposed may beware of thee.
Give every man thine ear, but few thy voice:
Take each man’s censure, but reserve thy judgement.
Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy,
But not expressed in fancy; rich, not gaudy:
For the apparel oft proclaims the man;
And they in France of the best rank and station
Are the most select and generous chief in that.
Neither a borrower nor a lender be:
For a loan oft loses both itself and friend;
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
This above all – to thine own self be true;
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.

Act I, Scene III of Hamlet by William Shakespeare.

[silentC]

Translation:

Keep you mouth shut and stay out of trouble.
Keep your mind out of the gutter.
Don't hang around with people you don't know.
Keep out of arguments.
Shut up and listen, you might learn something.
Frenchies are poofs.
Don't borrow money from a mate and don't lend him any either because the bastard might not pay you back.
Be honest with yourself - even if you're trying to screw someone - you might still get away with it.

This is a maxim that I do actually live by, much to the chagrin of SWMBO.

Whatever is good to know is difficult to learn.

No man can be a pure specialist without being in the strict sense an idiot - George Bernard Shaw.

Contract: an agreement that is binding on the weaker party.

As a final incentive before giving up a difficult task, try to imagine it successfully accomplished by someone you violently dislike.

The line that is straightest offers the most resistance.

We rarely confide in those that are better than us.

He who does not live in some degree for others, hardly lives for himself.

The darkness of the soul is not lighted by moving the body to another place.
