Words/phrases of wisdom

[Guest c**io**m7]

Heard one today and liked it:

 

Good judgement comes from experience and some of that comes from bad judgement.

[CristyCurves 169032]

There are those who will try and bring a person down with negative words, bullshit and ignorance because of their own misery, problems, hate, stupidity, etc. So I like the expression/words of wisdom- What matters most is how you see yourself:):) I have this on my web page. Knowing this has been one of my most important life lessons:)

[Miss Jessica Lee 43328]

Along the same line as CristyCurves above, I once heard this and love it..

 

"those that mind don't matter, and those that matter don't mind"

 

 

 

I also heard this the other day and found it very profound....

 

 

FEAR stands for Fuck Everything And Run

My two reigning, and related, favourites:

 

- A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds. (Nothing worse than "but we've always done it this way!", or even the idea that because you are one way today, you must be the same way tomorrow)

 

- Life is a collection of short stories pretending to be a novel. (We're enormously different people at different times in our lives or even in different circumstances that are close together in time; there doesn't have to be just one right answer to the question, "who am I?")

[Guest **cely***r***ne]

"We must travel in the direction of our fear"

 

"You only live once? FALSE. You live everyday...You only die once."

 

"There are 2 rules in life. #1. Never give out all the information..."

I just thought that one was clever and cute...

[WhiteKnight 1413]

"To those whom much is given, much is expected."

JFK

 

"I am an optimist. It does not seem too much use being anything else."

Churchill

 

"Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves."

Albert Einstein

[6dave9 4008]

If you are not prepared to handle the answer, .. don't ask the question.

Here's a couple motivational quotes that I like:

 

- Always do your best. What you plan now, you will harvest later.

 

- Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

 

- Be miserable or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice.

[Guest *Ste***cque**]

"The trouble with some self-made men is their tendency to worship their creator". I find a lot of successful entrepreneurs can be full of themselves. Donald Trump comes quickly to mind.

 

"Do unto others as you would have others do unto you". These are the ultimate words of wisdom. If everybody followed this simple rule everyone would be a lot better off... unless you're a masochist. :)

I have quite a few of these that I like, so I'll try to keep it short :)

 

. You don't need religion to have morals. If you can't determine right from wrong then you lack empathy not religion.

 

. More people would learn from their mistakes if they weren't so busy denying them

 

. Have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.
