Viewers' Words to Live By

Do you have a motto, a quote, an adage, a catchphrase, battle cry, maxim, proverb or slogan that helps you get through the day? (Sorry, sometimes I get a little thesaurus-y.) Send it our way and we'll put it on our virtual coffee cup. If we pick your saying -- we'll send you an Ellen coffee mug!

next: Pick the Audience Dancer of the Day!

If take us away in the night, they'll take you away in the morning.

AND

If s/he'll cheat WITH you, s/he'll cheat ON you!

Why doesn't English have a pronoun for both genders?

The link didn't work for me, but this is one of my favorite quotes.

The world is three days:
As for yesterday, it has vanished, along with all that was.
As for tomorrow, you may never see it.
As for today, it is yours, so work in it.
Hassan al-Basri

Hope you guys like it!

To get something you never had, you have to do something you've never done. When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you,
but merely opening your hands to receive something better.

My quote for the mug

There is always something to learn from everyone you meet. From what they do or say, sometimes what they don't do or say, I always get to learn a lesson or two....and be grateful about that.

MY SONS SERVE, SO YOURS WON'T HAVE TO...

Um. let's see.......

Frustration, your brains way of saying leave me alone.

Ignorance is not an excuse

try try then bang your head.

Follow your heart, not your head.

walking away is easy, it's the coming back that's hard.

Kill me and I'll haunt you

lost your mind? have a drink

I sure hope you don't mind my including a bunch here...I love words...and these words work for me...
Forgive me for not crediting the origin of these quotes, phrases, or words, but know they are simply my inspiration.

because nice matters (LOVE THIS ONE)

change attitude - change behaviour - change culture

part of the problem or part of the solution

peace begins with a smile

today matters

whether you believe you can or you believe you can't - you are right

life is a journey, not a destination

These words remind me the power I have over my own destiny! Hope you enjoy them.

Link is still not working so I finally decided I will just put my 3 quotes here -

"I just hate when tall people think they're bigger than me!".
- ME (You're the biggest person you know!)

"I am big, it's the pictures that got small"
- SUNSET BOULEVARD

"The choices we make, dictate the lives we lead! To thine ownself be true"
- RENAISSANCE MAN

Link still doesn't work..
I played basketball all years in high-school and I use to make these posters and put them up in our locker room for encouragement before games/practices.

"If you don't believe in yourself, no one else will." (Actually from Kobe Bryant, but I love it so much because it's so true.)

"The harder you work, the harder it is to surrender."

"The best get better, the rest get beaten."

"You can't get much done in life if you only work on the days you feel good."
