“Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.”? Mark Twain
If you set yourself on fire, make sure not to catch sight of yourself in the mirror, because you're likely to panic
Never trust a man who lies and cheats incessantly
Shit or get off the pot.
Never trust a man who, when left alone in a room with a tea cozy, doesn't put it on his head

“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!”
Sadly the folk who subscribe to that generally get their bloated bodies tipped into their grave after spending the last 15 years of their lives as a dribbling wreck in a wheelchair.
Best advice I got:
Don't shit in your own nest
Don't let your balls rule your brains.
Don't employ stupid or dishonest (both incurable)
Your reputation is like virginity. You lose it forever.
Pay more. Let the competition employ the monkeys.
Damn, I have an endless list 🙂
“The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence.”

I also like the Steppenwolf line 'it's never to late to start all over again' - has gotten me through the last few weeks.
personally I think it is best to live by 'Primum non nocere' or first, do no harm.
Although sometimes that is very hard to abide by. However as everyone knows 'the Dude abides'.
You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.
+1 @ 30 Rock quote. In fact +1 generally for Tracey Jordan. Never fails. 😀

@spin And it's time now to sweep the future clear
Of the lies of a past that we know was never real
"Be nice to people. If you aren't, they won't buy from you ever again."
"If in doubt, get some rounds down"
I do appreciate that they are almost mutually exclusive, but they are meant for different situations really.
Every rose has a thorn.
and if in doubt ask "What would Bill and Ted do?"
eff 'em all. (delivered best in a Salford accent)

One your first day when they ask you to make the tea/coffee do it badly
Footflaps, they'd enact Rule 2 of course, "Be excellent to each other!"
Rule 1 being, "Don't be a dick."
If everyone lived by these two simple rules, the world would be a much better place.
Find a job you love and you'll never work again.
"The only way to find out how far you can go, is by going too far..."
Pretty much defines the way I ride a bike. And explains the large collection of scars.
Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you.

So said Arthur 'better than none' Balfour. That this chimes with me may say something about my overall levels of motivation.
My father was an abusive alcoholic but also something of a poet. The one good thing he ever did was teach me the following few lines, which I repeated like a mantra when I was survived a plane crash in the Alaskan wilderness with a half a dozen of my fellow oil workers. We were stranded hundreds of miles from civilisation and the only way out was to make our own way out. Unfortunately we were picked off one by one by a pack of wolves, until it was only me left, and I'll be completely honest and admit that I'm not sure if even I survived.
Once more into the fray
Into the last good fight I'll ever know
Live or die on this day
Live or die on this day
"Life's not fair"
Once you've accepted this seemingly obvious fact, then there is the corollary
"Just get on with it"
