Proverbs you live after

Post by Spectral » 27 Dec 2006, 18:14

Hay guys! We all have some clue of what to do with our lives, and how to do it. Perhaps it's not as clear to some as it is to others. Anyhow, what proverb/s fits you/your lifestyle the best?

(it doesn't have to be a proverb in a specific sense, (if there is any) any other scentence that fits will do)

This site is pretty much crap, but you might find something if you're low on imagination: http://proverbs.special-dictionary.com


My favourite, since a little while back, is most definatly You only live once, don't hold back. In other words: Do what you like! If you get an impulsive idea, follow it. If you see someone you want to talk to, step up! Someone might laugh at you, but so what? No-one will remember that anyway.

Follow this, and you're pretty much immune to feeling overly depressed, being overly shy, and dampens the feeling of being dumb when you screw up. Hell, you hardly care what people think of you, for good and for worse.
Also, if you follow this proverb, you get 20% off on carpentry tools in most stores.

Thoughts and additions are welcome.

"There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy" Hamlet - Shakespeare

Always loved that quote. Not really a proverb, but it's something I always have in the back of my mind. Nothing quite like a sense of wonder when observing the world.
