I get mine from Ben Franklin: "Always be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let each year find you a better man."
I also like "the best gift you can give your neighbors is a well-kept lawn."
In Benjamin Desrailly's words, I want to be ever ready when my opportunity for success comes. His quote is as follows;
"The secret of success is for a man(woman) to be ready for his (hers) opportunity when it comes." Be ready. This is my philosophy.
However, that is the 'objective' bit - the success bit. As far as the philiosophy of life is concerned, I say have no fear. Don't be afraid of the next world. It's all been well planned here and hereafter. Be nice, be gentle...be good.
I have a couple:
If you can lay your head down at night & go to sleep satisfied with how you lived that day without regrets, your job is done.
Treat others how you want to be treated (EVERYTHING comes full circle one day, I mean EVERYTHING)
Try to find at least one positive thing each day, we get so carried away with drama and bad things in life its easy to overlook something so simple as a sunset or the smell of something cooking..
If we can all take less for granted and be more humble, the world would be such a better place
As one of my Grandmothers mugs once said:
'A day wasted is a day in which you have not laughed'
I think going a whole day without laughing once would be a very terrible thing indeed
It is better not to wrap philosophy around such an evolving beautiful mystery.

I am young, and my peers are young. We all seem to come from families who practice different, even opposing relgions. Yet we see that as only a minor aspect of our lives. It weighs nothing on our relationships with one another and others. Even though some of todays youth may deem themselves...
