My favorite quote (and I have many) is:

Your Character is your Destiny.

This to me means however you are - is the way your life and perspective will be.

Defender for the Light -
Goodness knows there is a lot of Dark out there!! - Where are my matches?!?
The secret is knowing the rules so you can bend/break them selectively!!! ;)
Aquisition master of the Finest of Humours - and the Killer Joke :D
Musketeer of Fast Fourward
Looking for lost brain - I left it only for a moment....and there it goes... rolling under the table!!
Noticing that the Light has gotten further down a Dark Tunnel than expected... Time to get the Lantern... Knowing sooner or later - I will get to the End of this Tunnel to the Open Air once again...

mine is "Let them hate me! But as long as they hate me, they must also respect me"- Berg'inyon Banere. I just read this last night, and i think its pretty good to live by and tell ppl that dont like me, and it also identifies with me in the fact that i dont care if ppl hate me, as long as they show me some degree of respect.

Here's a few;


Every Dark Cloud Has a Silver Lining, but Lightning Kills Hundreds of People Each Year Who Are Trying to Find It.

The Secret To Success Is Knowing Who To Blame For Your Failures.

When You Earnestly Believe You Can Compensate For A Lack Of Skill By Doubling Your Efforts, There's No End To What You Can't Do.

The Tallest Blade Of Grass Is The First To Be Cut By The Lawnmower.

It's Always Darkest just Before it goes Pitch Black.

I live by four:

To laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children, to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends, to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded! --Ralph Waldo Emerson

Live each day as it were your last; and if it is not, fall to your knees and give thanks. --- Og Mandino

Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
-Dylan Thomas

I ain't goin down no more. -- Rocky Balboa, played and written by Sly Stallone (DON'T LAUGH AT THIS ONE, it really works for me to keep me going) http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/hihi.gif

People are unreasonable, illogical and self-centered.
Love them anyway.

If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.

If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.

The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.

Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.

The biggest person with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest person with the smallest mind.
Think big anyway.

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.

People really need help but may attack if you help them.
Help people anyway.

Give the world the best you have and you might get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you've got anyway.
