A "Words to live by" thread.........again.

The grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.
- Allan K. Chalmers

One of the most valuable things that one person can give to another is their 'time'.
It is both precious, and finite.

When seeking and/or receiving 'help' always remember that one thing....

Where there is love there is life.
- Mahatma Gandhi

A really old one from Aristophanes (444-380 B.C.E.)

Wise men, though all laws were abolished, would lead the same lives.

"To have a respect for ourselves guides our morals; and to have a deference for others governs our manners."

Time is the fire in which we burn.
- Gene Roddenberry

We meet ourselves time and again in a thousand disguises on the path of life.
- Carl Jung

This is not so much words to live by, but if I don't do it, living is much more difficult........

"I'm off to work."

Damn..was I supposed to be quoting someone other than myself?...

words to live by?

The absolute best: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

pretty much covers everything

and yet, for some reason, it seems to be the hardest to implement

Lifes a beach, and then they expect you to grow up?

I you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all.

It is sad to here that there were problems again last night.

Jafo: Damn..was I supposed to be quoting someone other than myself?...


/me 's quote: He who can orate has a ready source to cite; he who can't, quotes!

happiness comes from within

One good turn....gets most of the blankets.

hey motion, you know my wife?

Don't let people accuse you of not being yourself

IPlural, I know mine. When it comes to blankets and being warm, they all share a common ground.

(My little secret is that I keep a spare on the floor on my side of the bed. I pull it on, just over my half, once she's asleep. )

My boyfriend complains about me stealing the bed and the blankets all the time

You see! They like all the blankets. And for some reason they like to wrap themselves in them, like a cacoon. Meanwhile, I'm turning blue from the cold.

actually, as long as my boyfriend wraps me in his arms, I wouldn't steal the blankets. You guys should try that sometime

a wise women once said:
"Life is what you make it" "If you seek love, you need to both give and accept it", "If you seek wealth, honesty and hard work will give you a feeling of satisfaction..the richest feeling you'll ever know", "If you seek respect, you must treat each and every living thing as you would want to be treated"
The woman that said this was my Mother and I can remember these words from as young as 4 y.o.

Now for my own words to live by;
"when in doubt...wash your hands" (I,m a nurse)

/me say "Give the World your best, and the best will come back to you"

Life is like a 10-speed bicycle.
Some people have gears they don't even use.
