Words to Live By in the New Year

[Piel]

Accept that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue.

Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them.

Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.

Drive carefully. It's not only cars that can be recalled by their maker.

If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.

If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others

Never buy a car you can't push.

Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then you won't have a leg to stand on.

Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.

Since it's the early worm that gets eaten by the bird, sleep late

The second mouse gets the cheese.

When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.

Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you live.

You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one person.

Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once

We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull Some have weird names , and all are different colors, but they all have to live in the same box.

A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.

Thanks Piel! A few to add:

Write the bad things that happen to you in sand, and carve the good things that happen to you in marble.

To avoid criticism, do nothing, say nothing, and be nothing.

Shoot for the moon; even if you miss you will land amongst the stars.

No matter whether you think you can or can't do something, you're right.

All of us could learn something from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.

Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there.

Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.

Great deeds are usually wrought at great risks.

The most wasted day of all is that during which we have not laughed.

By jumping at the stars you may fall in the mud.

Better to light one candle than to curse the darkness.

The best answer to anger is silence.

You cannot do anything by doing nothing.

It is easier to swallow angry words than have to eat them.

Wise men argue causes, fools often decide them.

Beauty, unaccompanied by virtue, is a flower without perfume.

Look b efore you leap, for snakes among flowers do creep.

Don't find fault with what you don't understand.

A narrow mind and a huge mouth usually go together.

It also takes two to make up after a quarrel.

The best way to end a war is not to begin it.

 

[~Muffin~]

Circuses aren't fun for elephants!

Life is a bowl of cherries how come I am in the pits?

When life gives you lemons throw them at passing cars!

Music is like candie- throw away the rappers!

Luke, I am your father..

May the force be with you...

Use the force Luke, use the force...

One morning you are going to wake up dead!

Chewing on rocks is hard!

Don't climb a ladder you can jump off of..

Don't go in the water if you see sharks.

Don't swim in Siberian glacial lakes.

You can't spell Hermione without Ron.

Dobby is really Vladimir Putin.. shhh
