Never give anyone a hammer to beat you over the head with.

You have to be willing to do things others won't do in order to have the things tomorrow others won't have.

Nobody can ride your back unless it's bent.

Deal with yourself as an individual worthy of respect and make everyone else deal with you in the same way.

Many people spend their whole lives climbing the ladder of success only to find out when they arrive at the top of the ladder, it's leaning against the wrong building......not really words to live by...but the moral of the story could be words to live by....it's up to you to decide what the moral is.

Words that I live by are:

1. What God has for me it is for me.

2. Do unto others as you would have them
do unto you.

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort & convience, but where he stands at times of challenge & controversy.

--Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Live each day as if it were your last, one day....you'll be right!

Believe none of what you hear, and only half of what you see!

If It Aint Broke, Don't Fix It!:cool:

My mother/grandmother always told me...
 

My mother always told me, "Thoughts are things."

She always reminds me that my desires, large or small, good or bad, will eventually be realized. Therefore, I am very careful to stay positive and "speak forth" good things! Afterall, my grandmother always says, "Be careful what you wish for,... you just might get it!"

What pearls of wisdom do you carry from the matriarchs in your families?

I have many more but I can't remember this second.

Good things come to those who wait ;)

You don't truly miss what you have until it's gone :(

You can't teach an old dog new tricks.

Don't count your chickens before they hatch.

You never miss what you never had

People are going to talk about you all of your life...get used to it

After you have done all that you can,just stand

Ain't that the truth.

My favorite is :

Sometimes leadership means pissing people off. - Colin Powell

Be an underachiever, just set your goals unreachably high. - ME

I'm into this thread. I collect (and try to live by) wise sayings. A few of my favorites...


Exposure to the Son prevents burning

He who don't hear will feel.
--Big Momma

Never complain about what you permit.

No woman is worth your tears and the one that is won’t make you cry.

The City of Happiness is located in the State of Mind.

Insert MAN where appropriate. :D ;)

If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything
