Life is like the plains of Africa. Whether you are the lion of the gazelle when the sun comes up you better be running.

What are yours?

Do good, be good, in all things
Shoot small, miss small
The founding fathers would be shooting by now
Be professional, be polite, but have a plan on killing everyone you meet

....of course a thread on colloquialisms would be good too:

That good looking girl is built like a burlap sack full of bobcats!
I'm as busy as a cat in a litter box
Im madder than Lazamataz on a naughty teacher thread without pics!

Life does not give quarterly exams. For as long as your intellect is healthy you must discriminate between truth and error, and choose between right and wrong or suffer the consequences. Truth is eternal; no less the truth because few believe it. It is not a question of who is right , but what is right.

Nothing worthwhile is easy.

There’s no such thing as common sense.

The gold standard:

Whoever is faithful with very little will also be faithful with much.

One of the most useful talents is the ability to laugh at oneself - if you cannot do this, I will laugh at you until you learn.

I have two

1: The Pleasure You Get From Life, Is Equal To The Attitude You Put Into It

2: Everybody brings joy into a room. Some when they enter, others when they leave.

If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.

New and improved is usually neither.

“God helps those who help themselves”

Origin (Wikipedia)

The sentiment appears in ancient Greek tragedies of which only fragments now remain. In his Philoctetes (c.409 BC), Sophocles wrote, “No good e’er comes of leisure purposeless; And heaven ne’er helps the men who will not act.” And in the Hippolytus (428BC) of Euripides appears the speech, “Try first thyself, and after call in God; For to the worker God himself lends aid.”
Colossians 3:23 - Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men.

Proverbs 6:10-12 - A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest—and poverty will come on you like a bandit and scarcity like an armed man.

Proverbs 12:11 - He who works his land will have abundant food, but he who chases fantasies lacks judgment.

Proverbs 12:24 - Diligent hands will rule, but laziness ends in slave labor.

Proverbs 13:4 - The sluggard craves and gets nothing, but the desires of the diligent are fully satisfied.

Matthew 5:3-4 - God blesses those who realize their need for him; and who mourn will be comforted.

I Timothy 5:8 - If anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his immediate family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

I have two: I alternate on odd and even days:

1) You NEVER KNOW who your boss will be. So, be NICE to everybody.

2) “Capto Testes Eorum, Corda et Mentes Sequuntur”
