    I have 3:
    " The greatest success in life is being able to stand up from failure..."

    " Getting angry is actually punishing yourself with the mistakes of others ..."

    " The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing ..."

    Marami akong clippings ng mga favorite kong proverbs dati e katulad nito:

    With money, you can buy a house, but not home
    you can buy a clock, but not time
    you can buy a bed, but not sleep
    you can buy a book, but not knowledge
    you can buy a doctor, but not good health
    you can buy a position, but not respect
    you can buy blood, but not life
    you can buy ***, but not love

    The secret of Happiness is to be contented with what you have...

    What makes us discontented with our condition is the absurdly exaggerated idea we have of the happiness of others...

    The secret of contentment is learning to enjoy what you have, and to be able to lose all desires that is beyond your reach...

    "Treat others the way you'd like to be treated".

    Something in the vein of, "The Almighty helps those who help themselves".

    Another I like is, "Never give orders that you yourself cannot carry out"

    Add:

    "Treat others the way you'd like to be treated"

    and

    "The Almighty helps those who help themselves"


    That's pretty much my daily creed.

    If we plant Honesty, we will reap Trust.
    If we plant Goodness, we will reap Friends.
    If we plant Humility, we will reap Respect.
    If we plant Forgiveness, we will reap Peace.
    As you sow, so shall you reap a hundred fold.
