Question

has it worked for you and do you live by it

Answer 1

Dont eat yellow snow

Answer 2

Favorite quote: "The measure of a minds evolution is its acceptance of the unacceptable." 2150AD by Thea Alexander

Favorite advice: My mother kept telling me as I grew up that the worst thing in life was to look back and wish you had tried.....

Both have worked well for me and I have believed them since I was a child. Acceptance (different than approval) is very important to me and I have been able to deal with the fear of trying new things even when I think I may not do well--surprising myself many times at what I have accomplished.

Answer 3

My favorite quote;
'The best thing for the inside of a man is the outside of a horse'.

It helps to take the advice regarding riding too;
'Riding is just a case of keeping one leg on one side of the horse, the other leg on the other side of the horse and keeping your mind in the middle'.

I have to live by both, it's my major passion in life! So long as I can ride, I can smile!

Answer 4

Favorite Quote:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. "
- Declaration of Independence

My favorite piece of advice was from a priest who is a friend of the family. A few years ago, my oldest son received a very difficult diagnosis, and he wrote us a beautiful letter when he heard. He wrote, "In ways that will always amaze you, God will give you the graces you need to help him [our son] bear his cross as he, in turn, helps you bear yours. Be not afraid. God's love is more than you can ever imagine. And it will take you through whatever lies ahead."

I still treasure that letter and read it when I feel overwhelmed. His assurance has helped me deepen my faith and trust in God.

Answer 5

O, I have a lot of favorite quotes, but here's one I recently heard that has made a big difference for me:

"Other peoples' opinions of me are none of my business."

I grew up all my life worrying about what other people think of me. That quote has definitely helped to free me from that thinking.

Love, Jack

Answer 6

Polygamy is having one wife too many. Monogamy is the same.

Bisexuality immediately doubles your chances of a date on a saturday night.

Woody Allen

Answer 7

My grandmother was the wisest person I have ever personally known.
Among her gems of wisdom:
--
What are you worrying for? If there is something you can do about it, do it. If there isn't anything you can do about it, worrying about it won't help. Go outside and play!
--
The opinions of worthless people are worthless opinions.
--
Love has nothing to do with going to bed with a man, it has everything to do with getting up with him in the morning--morning after morning, after morning.
--
Love yourself. Then, other people will love you, too.
--
I could think of a hundred more......

Answer 8

FInd out who you are, and do it on purpose~ Dolly Parton. Once you know your own self, you can live a happy more fulfilling life and stop putting up obstacles and pushing success away!

Answer 9

Favourite quote : "Ambition is a dream with a V8 engine" - Elvis

Answer 10

the one that has always worked for me is:

'it takes talent to recognise genius; mediocrity will acknowledge nothing higher than itself.'

properly understood this saying teaches you never to settle for second best, but also to be aware that an essential virtue in life is the humility to know when someone is better than you are (but to know that only when they are).

Answer 11

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and never lean onto your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him. And He will make your ways straight.
