What quotes do you live by?

There are too many to state here. Most don't live in my conscious mind all the time, in fact none do but they come to me at times, appropriate times. I am a magnet for aphorisms. I have hundreds saved in my data. Many just come to mind whenever.

Two of my own that I tell other people are to "always do the right thing, even when no one is looking" and "no matter where I go, I'll always be there" although I may have heard similar things in my past.

and i have seen the eternal footman hold my coat, and snicker,
and in short, i was afraid.
