Mine's sort of practical: "If you can't grow it. Mow it!"

Mine's a modification of the pre-1870 phrase: "Measure twice, and cut once."

Mine: "Think twice, before speaking once."

Which I think deserves further modification: "Think three times, before posting once." Comments on the Internet live forever despite retractions or clarifications, and without facial expressions and tonal inflection the comments can be wildly misinterpreted.

Dr. Seuss! Nice.

I... don't really have one lol. Honestly. I pretty much live by "don't be a jerk-off" and "stay true to yourself, because if you can't trust yourself, who will?"

A pessimist is what you optimists call us realists.

I'm claiming originality on this one.  If anyone knows it was coined by someone else let me know.

I have several, but two that I use often are:

"Nothing is worse than wasted talent"

and

"That's a great idea...How are you going to pay for it?"

Practice makes perfect, but then again, nobody's perfect. So why practice? ... Just a little running joke I share with some friends.  :)

"One Life, One Chance"

Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again, but life goes on.

Great movie (Blow).  Ray Liotta's character in that movie seems like a very virtuous man.

I know it. Some amazing quotes come from that movie. One of my favorites.

I answered with one of my smart assy responses earlier in this thread..... but now here's a motto that I try to live my life by. I also stress this to my kids and it has become our Family motto. Just three simple words:

"Dignity, Integrity, Respect"

12 GREAT QUOTES FROM GANDHI ON HIS BIRTHDAY:

     “Be the change you want to see in the world.”
    “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.”
    “The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world’s problem.”
    “An ounce of practice is worth more than tons of preaching.”
    “You may never know what results come of your action, but if you do nothing there will be no result.”
    “Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.”
    “If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.”
    “Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.”
    “A ‘No’ uttered from the deepest conviction is better than a ‘Yes’ merely uttered to please, or worse, to avoid trouble.”
    “Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.”
    “Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.”
    “You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even destroy this body, but you will never imprison my mind.”
