There are plenty of wise men and women here on QBN.
Care to share some of the words of wisdom you live by?

Live for the moment and try to filter all of the unnecessary garbage from your life.
Be true to yourself and you will never fall. Understand and practice compassion. Have some fun.
The moment is now, nothing is promised tomorrow.
The end.

My 8th grade math teacher used to say "....and remember, never deepfry your doorknobs" at the end of class. For years.
To this day I don't know what he meant by it.
But these are words of wisdom in a way, because every time I think of this phrase, I find a different meaning in it.
- Maybe misheard something like "defy your own odds"?Peter
- Nah. It was clearly "never deepfry your doorknobs."Krassy
- He used to say it all the timeKrassy

“We have to understand that only the present is real. There is no past. There is no future.” - Alan Watts
This one sounds good when you read it, but it's near impossible to live by. It's so hard to detach yourself from your own and others' past and future.

"Just remember that one day you will be dead."
Not sure who said this. But for me, it's the most moving quote, and always puts me in urgency to get back to doing the things I love, and focus more on the broader things that bring happiness and fulfillment.
That, and...
