Do you have moral (as in moral of the story) that you live by?

I try to follow the "Live, love, laugh and learn" and the "do unto others...." approach.

"It's never too late to have a happy childhood". Now don't get me wrong, I had a great childhood. Some people have said this is a rather sad and cynical axiom to live by, but here's how I see it-it simply means to live life to the fullest everyday, no matter how old you are, like children do.

Practice Random Acts of Kindness

I try to do at least one "good deed" every day, even if it is something minor like letting someone get into the flow of traffic when no one else will. I figure, if I do enough of them, maybe someone will do some for me!

"Think before you speak" and "Whatever you do, do your best" and of course "Be kind"

Hello all! I particularly like the prayer of St. Francis of Asisi but it is very long. The following is another short quote that I try very hard to remember. I got it from, of all places, Newsweek magazine:

The Heart is a Holy Place,And we must always take care to never hurt one another.

I do my best to follow quite a few.


1) Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

2) I try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. (Craig thinks that this makes me niave in a lot of ways)

3) If ya can't say anything nice, don't say nothing at all!

4) Never judge a book by its cover.


Those are a few I try to follow to the best of my ability.

Do what you want, but do what you think is right.

I try to treat everyone that I come in contact with, with equal respect, because everyone deserves it, at least until proven otherwise.

I like a quote from a Jewel song that says:
'In the end, only kindness matters.'

Jesus was good for a few nice ones, which have already been posted.

I would be true, for there are those who trust me. I would be strong for there is much to suffer, I would be brave for there is much to dare.
