What Quote do You Live By?

Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect.
- Mark Twain

I know it's probably not what anyone expected, but mine is "I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage." Shemot/Exodus 20:2... the first and greatest commandment.

Yeah, yeah, I know.

"A rich man is not one who has the most, but one who needs the least"

Never expect good things to happen. Pray for them.

There is a song by the group Evanesence where lead singer Amy Lee sings about her lover bringing her to life:

Now that I know what I'm without,
You can't just leave.
Breathe into me,
and make me real.
B-r-i-n-g.... m-e.... t-o.... l-i-f-e!

I have these ideas racing around in my head all the time. They call to me. They whisper in my ear. They want me to breathe into them and make them real--to bring them to life. My decision for each day is which ideas I have the time, ability, and desire to bring to life. I always wonder (worry) if I have devoted my time to the right ones.

"My cat's breath smells like cat food."

~ Winston Churchill

All the best,

"One test is more valuable than a thousand expert opinions" - NASA engineer

Funny how after all of the calculations, slide rules, wind tunnel experiments...are all finished,
It still takes a Chuck Yeager to get into the machine and see if it will fly.

Be kind to everyone because you do not know what battles they are fighting.

If thoughts become things - always have good ones.

Here's 23 inspirational quotes to live by.

My fav is “If you are going through hell, keep going” - Winston Churchill

One of my favorite quotes is...I think it was by a coach..corrections welcome...something like....

" To climb a mountain, find a cause higher than yourself".

Peace

"That's a moth cocoon. It's ironic. Butterflies get all the attention. But moths, they spin silk. They're stronger, faster...You see this little hole? This moth's just about to emerge. It's in there right now, struggling. It's digging its way through the thick hide of the cocoon. Now, I could help it. Take my knife, gently widen the opening, and the moth would be free. But it would be too weak to survive. The struggle is nature's way of strengthening it."
John Locke (lost)

I have so many that I can't possibly list them all, but the first two to come to mind are:

"Attitude determines Altitude"
and
"Girls just want to have fun!"

Terra

There are many, but this is my favorite:

"Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at death." - Albert Einstein

I have a few.

Positive thoughts equals positive results (dont know where i heard it)

You can only have as much as you believe. Mark Victor Hansen

you control your future, your destiny. What you think about comes about. By recording your dreams and goals on paper , you set in motion the process of becoming the person you most want to be. Put your future in good hands --your own. Mark Victor Hansen

you are as strong as your weakest link

"Being realistic is the most commonly traveled road to mediocrity" - Will Smith

"Say something fresh" -- Ad campaign, Colgate Fresh Confidence

It is really easy to fall to mediocrity if you're stuck with the same routine every, single day. This is particularly true to a lot of internet marketers running one or two of their online ventures, which is usually, unfortunately, a one-man show.

Whenever I think of just "writing away," I think of my audience and readers. Will they find my blabbering useful? Will they come back the day after if I continue writing this topic? It's easy to create a post, publish a blog, and just say whatever comes to our mind. What is challenging for us, internet marketers, is to offer something that may and can be valuable to our readers.

Be it a post that they will find engaging, a product that will truly firm sagging skin, or a website you believe will interest your reader, I strongly believe that we, internet marketers, should uphold our standards when it comes to doing what we do. It is our responsibility not only to ourselves but to our readers as well. In fact, I think we owe it to audience who chose to read what could be just our humble opinion.

I often think of my audience and put myself in their loafers. Whenever I fall into mediocrity and find myself writing just-whatever, I pause and insist to say something fresh.

I have so many, but the one that comes to mind is

service to many leads to greatness-Jim Rohn

"I never knew how to be a good salesman until I started to get hungry"

I actually made that up myself, and that is what me and my brother go by.

Anyone who had it rough growing up can relate a lot to that...

A mans gotta eat.

I've got a couple that have kept me going through the rough patches-and there have been plenty of those in my adventures in small business ownership! The first is Jeremiah 29:11~"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."". No matter how dark it is, there is ALWAYS a way, always a hope. And the second-"Whatever you are, be a good one"~Abraham Lincoln-reminds me that even when I'm down to nothing, I can still work to be the best darn pot-scrubber and weed-puller there is . God bless!~FarmChick

“I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.”

Groucho Marx

Well if others can do, why can't I? as long as i'm alive.

It's up to us...

I like these three:

-------

1 "Some people see things as they are and ask why. I dream things that never were and say why not?" - George Bernard Shaw

2 "Remember: you are who you are, not what you have!"

3 "God gives you answers in three ways:

He says yes and gives you what you want.
He says no and gives you something better.
He says wait and gives you the best."

"It pays to be a winner." - U.S. Navy SEALs

“It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live.”

There's one I came across recently that's rather good. It's by Eric Hohmlund, I think his name is of 'Push Button Marketing': "You may be looked on as the least likely to succeedbut that's not who you really are"

Each day I'll do a golden deed by helping someone who is in need. My life on earth is but a span and so I'll do the best I can.

The True Definition Of Success Is Helping Others Succeed.

Love All, Trust Few, Do Wrong to None.

Believe in it so much that it is tatooed on my leg.

If you knew ten years ago that it would be ten years from now, would you waste another minute or make it last somehow!

But we climb the stairs evey day

Simple - and true

Mine is "There is no such thing as a problem, only an opportunity for a solution". I first heard it on a show called hustle, its about a group of conmen.

The Quote that I live by is "Live life to the fullest!" You never know when it could be your last and you need to make sure that you don't have any regrets.

My new favorite:

"Life is 10% what happens to you, and 90% how you react to it."

"Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does."

It's in the header of my site.

"live for others"
It is my life

"It's not the blowing of the wind, but the set of the sail..." by jim Rohn

We got to do what we have to do, so we can do what we want to do.

Patriotism is not short, frenzied outbursts of emotion, but the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime.

We can't control the actions of others, only ourselves.

This is a bit off color but definately applies in the real world. Here it goes:

If everyone hates you, you're probably an ass-hole.
If everyone loves you, you're definately an ass-hole.

Alabaster Bellingus
1942 -

You create your own reality!

"If you don't stand for something, you will fall for everything."

Success is measured by the obstacles you overcome.

Here are the two main quotes that I live by:

You can have everything in life that you want if
you will just help enough other people get what
they want. -Zig Ziglar

and

"Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that
men should do to you, do ye even so to them:"
- Matthew 7:12a

(also commonly referred to as "The Golden Rule")

Seeking YOUR Success,

Stephen Boutelle

"There is no failure, only feedback"
Every action gets an outcome, it may not be the outcome you want, but it is an outcome none the less. A plane flying from London to New York will go off course many times during the flight, the pilot does not see this as failure but information he can use to bring the plane back on course.

Likewise in our own lives when we get an outcome that's not what we wanted we can use the information to make adjustments to try again armed with more information that we had the last time, so increasing the chances of success.

Since failure does not enter the equation, the fear of failure is eliminated.

Dreams get converted into thoughts, thoughts into actions and actions into reality. So keep dreaming

Success Is Not How High You Fly but How High You Bounce.

Success Is Not Abroad; It Is Inbroid.

"Spend money chasing women, u end up broke and without any; but spend time chasing money, you will enjoy being chased by women.

I like the Einstein Quote, "You can not solve your problems with the same thinking you used when you created them."

"You can't score if you never take a shot"---Wayne Gretzky

"We must be the change we want to see"
Gandhi

"Honesty is the best policy"

"There is no psychology, only biography and auto-biography." Thomas Szasz

"Clear thinking requires courage, rather than intelligence." Thomas Szasz
