What are your favorite words of wisdom? Or what's the most important life lesson you have learned?

My favorite words of wisdom, and I have said them many times, are:

"Attitude is everything. Life is what you make it. Anyone can be happy if they want to be."

(It stops pity parties and excuse-makers in their tracks!)

Please share yours! :smile:

    "Love yourself first and everything else falls into line". In order to do anything meaningful, truly love anyone, be loved, you have to love yourself first.

    Realize, appreciate and give thanks for what you have in life; so many among us are much less fortunate.

    Peace on Earth.

    Live and let live.

    Be kind to everything that lives.

    One of my favorites.....

    "Do not think of today's failures, but of the success that may come tomorrow. You have set yourselves a difficult task, but you will succeed if you persevere; and you will find a joy in overcoming obstacles. Remember, no effort that we make to attain something beautiful is ever lost." - Helen Keller

    You are your own best advocate, knight in shining armor, and all-purpose champion. If you don't stand up for yourself and make yourself happy, why would you expect anyone else to do it for you?

    Treat others how you wish to be treated.

    That's kind of my life's motto. I don't always succeed in following it, but I try :smile:

    My favorite words of wisdom (my dad said this all of the time): It's better to be silent and thought a fool than speak and remove all doubt. His other favorite: Life's not fair and nobody ever said it was.

    Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength, mastering yourself is true power.

    If frogs had wings, they wouldn't bump their *kitten* every time they jumped.

    Do or do not, there is no try.
