One line philosophy

[onejayhawk]

What cheesy quotable maxims do you actually live by?

My favorite is "People don't have time. People make time."

[Perfection]

Anything can be cured with tape (Mostly Duct and electrical) or a clothes hanger

For those who feel failure is not an option, ultimate failure becomes inevitable.

Or something stupid like that.

Hey Globber, you stole that from me!!
See : http://www.narcity.com/thoughts/quotes.html (first quote)

I suppose its a common response to the quote question...

My three favorite :
"Everything is moderation... including moderation"
"The secret to patience is finding something to do in the meantime"
"Is life not 100 times to short for us to stifle ourselves?"

"Always remember: One-line quotes are for losers.... D'oh!"

 

[Switch625]

Some of my one line philosophies:

"Just because you can doesn't mean you should."

"Life's a b****, and then you die."

"Don't take life too seriously, because you'll never get out of it alive."

"Know your limitations."

"Nothing pisses me off faster than people who think the rules don't apply to them."

There are others, but those pretty much explain me.

Don't think about aquiring things in your life, just live and life will provide...

It works well for me... and it is from me...

 

[Furry Spatula]

"not only is life a b*tch, it has puppies"

"Something hard to do isn't worth doing"

 

[Loaf Warden]

"Any philosophy that can be put in a nutshell belongs there."

 

[CurtSibling]

"Religion provides a nice paved road of life, but going off road can be more interesting."

"It is not so much that power corrupts, but that power attracts the corruptible."

--Bene Gesserit observation (I'm quoting this from memory, as my copy of Chapterhouse: Dune where this came from is currently lent out to a friend--so the wording may not be perfect.)

Other ones:
"A government who robs Peter to pay Paul, can always count on the vote of Paul." --George Bernard Shaw
"Stupidity is a capital offense."--Robert A. Heinlein
"An eye for an eye leaves everyone blind."--Mohatma K. Gandhi
"It is not the religion you follow, nor even whether or not you follow any religion, that matters--what matters is whether or not you are a good person."--The Dalai Lama

 

[polymath]

Luck favours the fortunate.

Mines a variation of Switch's:

"Life's a bi*** and then you marry one"

Some of my facorites are Jerry Garcia/Robert Hunter Quotes

All good things in all good time.

Once in a while you can get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

Might as well

We will survive; We will get by

Of course I also like the Hank Williams line Hey Good Lookin' What You got Cookin, Howza bout cookin something up with me.
