I have a couple that I always try to live by. For me what gets my goat the most is people who always talk and talk and never do anything. I think it is people like that who have caused the world to be such a screwed up place. Anywho:

Do what you Say;
Say what you Mean;
Mean what you Do.

And:

Talk minus Action equals Bullshit.

Tweo things that I've tried (and failed many times) to live by:

To wish you were someone else is a waste of who you are.

Worry is time spent on something that might never happen
