If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.
If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.
The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.
Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.
The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds.
Think big anyway.
People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.
Fight for a few underdogs anyway.
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.

Ah, need to smack my long-term memory around a bit, teach it not to mess around like that. Or, stop taking double the dosage of my sleeping pills, still staying awake and then posting on teh interwebs.Nostalgia Ripoff said:
I got the quote from a cutesy youtube vid I can't find the link to now. Actually, I can't find the document I keep links in. Hmm, where'd I put that long-term memory again *looks-for-broccoli*
'Life is objectively meaningless, but I'm okay with that.' Because, you know, Sisyphus.
Along with that comes also 'this is all your fault' and 'you chose this, now deal with it, because there is no god and you are ultimately responsible for everything that you do. So suck it up.'

This is pretty much what I live by. I put myself into the other persons shoes and ask would this be something I would like/dislike or want to be treated. It pretty much covers everything.

Of course they're not perfect but things could be worse so find the silver lining whenever you can because things could always be worse.ultrachicken said:

Yeah, it's from Assassin's Creed, but it's also thought to be the dying words of Hassan-i Sabbah, who led the actual assassins. It's more likely an embellishment than something he actually said, but it still has meaning. To me, it simply states that nothing and nobody, no matter how they're presented, is handing you the truth on a plate, just like that. No ultimate morality, no way things should be just because, no unbiased statement, and most importantly, no easy right answer that will make everything better and relieve you from having to think and question.
Of course, it's impossible to ever fully live up to it, and I do far worse at it than many...
