Words you live by?
Everyone usually has some sort of saying/creed/traits they live there lives by and I wanna know what some people here have to say about it.
For me I have quite a few. Personally the one that guide me the most are the Army Values I had drilled into me at Basic Training. I now a days try to live by the Soldier's Creed and the Army Values and my parents have seen a large change in me over the past year as I am more confident and more prone to do the right thing.
And a life quote I've been going by for a long time now is: "Life is what we make it, always has been, always will be."
I usually just try to enjoy what I have and work hard for what I want. I read the book "The Richest Man in Town" by V.J. Smith for a Psychology class recently and that book is what inspired me to make this post. If you havn't read the book I highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't as it is a very empowering read.
In the story the main character Marty lived his life by 3 little lessons and they are what he lived by and what kept him happy even though he didn't have much. His life lessons were:
- Relationships matter most in life
- Try to do a little more
- Only you can make you happy
So I wanna know what words or values you live by fellow Sharenators?

Very nice! I like one by Mark Twain, that goes something like...'In the end you will regret more of what you didn't do than what you did.'
"Lead me, follow me, or get the hell out of my way"
-General George S. Patton

"When life hands you lemons, make root beer, and leave people wondering how the fuck you did it."
"My life, my pride, my hopes, my dreams shall never fade nor be broken, so long as my name remains and deeds are spoken."- 24paperwings
"My life will never be taken, it will be given for the ones that I wish to protect."-24paperwings
basically i want to be remembered by my friends and in the end if at all possible die for them. i will not just fade away i want my life to mean something. the greatest thing i could think of is going out for someone who means the world to me. dying with honor and never backing down. thats the way i live my life. setting challenges for myself and going until i have them. i will never not protect my friends and i would gladly die in their place if i needed to.

"Say what you want, and do what you feel. Because those who matter don't mind, and those who mind don't matter."
"Everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live life believing it is stupid."
"A friend will calm you down when you are angry. A BEST friend skips beside you with a bat singing 'someones gonna get it!!!'"
"Perspective. How long a minute feels depends on which side of the bathroom door you're on"
"I don't have a short temper, I have a quick reaction to bull$#!+"
"Never tell your problems to anyone. 20% don't care, and the other 80% are happy you have them"
"loving someone who doesn't love you is like waiting for a ship at the airport"
"Someone give me patience, because if you give me strength... I'll need the bail money to go with it"
"A woman brought you into this world, so you have no right to disrespect one"
"Thats what"
-She
"If you CAN solve your problem, then what is the need of worrying? If you CANNOT solve your problem, then what is the point of worrying?"
"Swag is for boys, Class is for men"
"You say you love rain, but you use an umbrella to walk under it. You say you love sun, but you seek shade when it is shining. You say you love wind, but when it comes you close your window. And you wonder why i'm scared when you say you love me...."
"Treat me like a king, and i'll treat you like a queen. Treat me like a game, and i'll show you how it's played"
"My dad taught me to never throw the first punch. But you can bet your sweet ass I WILL throw the last one"
"If someone hates you for no reason, give that Mother f**ker a reason"
"If people are trying to bring you down, it only means that you're above them"
"We live in a world where losing your iPhone is more dramatic than losing your virginity"
and Finally, (thanks to iFaP1301) one of the best quotes;
"i contend that we are both atheists. i just believe in one fewer god than you. when you understand why you dismiss all other possible gods, you will understand why i dismiss yours."
I hope you all enjoy :)

"What do you want to be when you grow up?" "Happy." "I don't think you understand the question." "I don't think you understand life." Not sure if it applies but I love it. or "Shit happens."
'We can do anything we want as long as it is unimportant'
'Humanity will never be free until the last King is strangled with the entrails of the last Priest'
'the idea of God implies the abdication of human reason and justice; it is the most decisive negation of human liberty, and necessarily ends in the enslavement of man'
pessimism ftw!

I will do unto others as they have done unto me (not quite the bible version, but the bible is mostly a fairy tale anyway).
