As far as we know for certain, each person gets only one life, which makes each and every moment precious. Make the best use of the time you have.
I enjoy the benefits of civilized society, so I do my part to support the continuance of that society by obeying the laws and customs, working to right any wrongs I see, treating others with the same respect I would like to receive from them, and trying to maintain a balance between my needs and wants and the needs and wants of others.
Let my life be my message. I try most earnestly to live up to my duties as a citizen, son, husband, grandfather, employee, etc., and take responsibility for any errors I commit.
In short, I try to live a moral, useful, and fulfilling life by contributing a verse, however small, to the powerful play of human history.

The principles that I live by are;
1.Making sure that I am always kind and respectful to everyone. Smile, whether or not they return the smile makes no difference.
2.Being honest, yes I go back into the store if I find that they haven't charged me for something.
3.I believe that it is important to care for others, humans and wildlife. I happen to prefer wildlife. I care for the feral cats where I live.
4.Keeping my corner of the world as clean and beautiful as I can.
I'm sure there are others I'm not thinking about right now, but basically I feel that it is very important to treat others the way I want to be treated. I always try to put myself in their place, before I say anything stupid. You know "walk a mile in my shoes."
I never consciously do anything to purposely hurt anyone or anything.

I want to live my life, so far as I am able, so as not to contribute to the unhappiness of others, to leave the world no worse for my having existed, and, hopefully, to have produced or created a worthwhile memento to leave behind. Those are my desires, I suppose. My principles are simple: to do no harm and to respect the Earth and all of its inhabitants, both human and nonhuman...

I don’t have any particular principles which I live on because I believe life isn't constant nothing is permanent so does our principles should !

I alone am responsible for the choices I have made and will make in life. No blaming others.
Treat others as I would like to be treated.
Be honest and kind.
To name a few.

The law, social convention and what I feel is morally right which 99% of the time is pretty much the same as the aforementioned.

My great respect for the Golden Rule, which is occasionally in conflict - especially after reading these pages - with a desire to destroy all of humanity.

Do unto others as you would have them doo unto you.
Love yourself first and foremost or you will never be able to love or be loved by others.
Always buy lemonade if you see a kid selling it on the street.
