To travel is to live

one can never have one too many Beatle bootlegs (Or Fleetwood Mac for that matter).

F*ck 'em if they can't take a joke.

"I'll try being nicer if you'll try being smarter"

Errrr....
 

Bite me.

:D

:laugh: :lol:
good memories...coincidentally, that is my mom's philosophy, too. :laugh:

It's true, though. I've no use for a person who has no sense of humor. If they can't laugh at life, f*ck 'em because they sure as hell are living a miserable life and I won't be wasting my precious time on them. ;)

ha! With my jokes i sometimes don't have that luxury... :laugh: just kidding, i don't care. however, i do hate explaining that i was joking :mad: :)

Me, too. I usually just say "forget it" and lose interest in the person fairly quickly. :laugh:

:laugh: :lol: me, too. Also, add "rolls eyes" :laugh: Trouble is when it's one of my friends... :shocked:

Speak softly, carry a big stick!

In the past...
 

I used these song lyrics as my philosophy when people started to get on my nerves and when they became an annoyance with sticking their noses in a place they had no business sticking it:

"Just cause you don't understand
what's going on don't mean it don't make no sense
And just cause you don't like it,
don't mean it ain't no good

And let me tell you something
Before you go taking a walk in my world
you better take a look at the real world
Cause this ain't no Mister Roger's Neighborhood

Can you say "feel like ****?"
Yea maybe sometimes I do feel like ****
I ain't happy 'bout it, but I'd rather feel like **** than be full of ****!
And if I offended you, oh I'm sorry
But maybe you need to be offended
But here's my apology and one more thing...f**k you!
Cause you can't bring me down!"-"You Can't Bring Me Down" by Suicidal Tendencies

God was my co-pilot but we crashed into the mountains and I had to eat him.

Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large crowds.

When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace.

Love is a Word that Some Entertain if you find it you have won the game. Wait I think I might have stole that from someone :laugh:

"Whatever gets you through the day..."

:cool:

Also, from "American Beauty":

"Never underestimate the power of denial."

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me, than a frontal lobotomy. :wavey:

It's lonely at the top when there's no one on the bottom.

24 hours in a day....24 beers in a case. Coincidence?

"Stereotypes always have their origins rooted in truth"

"People never change"

"Freedom and liberty are the glory of all humanity"

It's now or never. That's what Elvis said. :shrug: :lol:

Didn't he also say:

"Number 47 said to Number 3,
'You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see!
I would like the pleasure of your company,
So won't you do the Jailhouse Rock with me?' "

So, all the baby-boomers used to hop around in poodle skirts singing songs about rough prison sex!

"It's better to be hated for who you are, than loved for who you're not."

Thanks... it's a slight paraphrase of an Andre Gide quote, that I adopted as my personal philosophy a few years back. :)

Look him up sometime... he was actually a pretty wise man (and a Nobel Prize winner!).

Here are a few words to live by:

"Life is too important to be taken seriously." by Oscar Wilde

"To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment." by Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is of you." by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Emerson is my favorite! I just love his work.

I'm not sure I can define these phrases my philosophy, but I've always found them pretty useful:

Clarity of ideas, perspicacity, firmness and patience under adversity (Pirandello)

Of each particular thing ask: what is it in itself? What is its nature? (Hannibal Lecter's summary of Marcus Aurelius)

A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable but more useful than a life spent doing nothing. (G.B Shaw)

Romy

"Never argue with an idiot, people watching may not be able to tell you apart".


"There are no obsolutes in the world....Only consequences".


"When things are reduced to Balck and White...The truth is always Grey".

Those who do not remember the past are condemned to relive it-Santayana

Live and Let Live....

"Don't let life discourage you; everyone who got where he is had to begin where he was." -- Richard L. Evans

"If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain." -- Emily Dickinson

"People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they're not on your road doesn't mean they've gotten lost." -- H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

"Beware the fury of a patient man." -- John Dryden

Reality can be beaten with enough imagination.

"They make forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel." -- Carl W. Buechner

Ah, I'm on the right track then :lol:
