I was listening to the radio today and heard Maya Angelou speaking about love and how to live your life through love for yourself and your fellow man. She had some amazing things to say and it made me think of how a small phrase can really speak to you and influence and inform how you approach the world and those in it. I'm curious what quotes or general words to live by inspire you and how you see your role in the bigger world. The side effect of sharing these is you may inspire or influence someone else halfway around the world to be a better person or look at things from a different point of view. Neat 'eh? It might also help some folks with creators block in LBP2 discover a new level idea or help pull themselves out of a frustrating situation. So how about it, What people, quotes or words to live by inspire you? Here are a few I can think of off the top of my head. When you get, give. When you learn, teach - Maya Agelou When faced with catastrophe, respond with empahty

Reality is a lovely place but I wouldn?t want to live there. -Adam Young An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. - Mahatma Gandhi The first one's more of a "Live in the moment, don't worry about everything else." Second one is just, words cannot explain.

“History shows us that the people who end up changing the world – the great political, social, scientific, technological, artistic, even sports revolutionaries – are always nuts, until they are right, and then they are geniuses.” – John Eliot “You will not do incredible things without an incredible dream.” – John Eliot Want inspiration? You got it.

A conclusion is simply the place where someone got tired of thinking. If something is worth doing at all, then it is worth doing well. Life is like music, it must be composed by ear, feeling, and instinct; not by rule. Don't gamble on the future, act now, without delay. Whoever saves a life saves the world entire. Some of the better ones I have.

Dreams are an illusion, but work hard and make them into a reality. It does not matter how many time you fall. It only matters if your willing to get up. Just from the top of my head. Don't recall anyone saying these.

Photograph: a picture painted by the sun without instruction in art. ~Ambrose Bierce Maybe not something to live by but it's certainly inspiration for photographers and alike.

What would you attempt if you knew you could not fail? One of my favourites.

Well, I could be entering lots of quotes from shakespear, but I will for now go with my one single favourite: ?O God! I could be bounded in a nutshell, and count myself king of infinite space, were it not that I have bad dreams? Here are a few others: "Momentum, a function of mass and velocity, is conserved between portals. In layman's terms, speedy thing goes in, speedy thing comes out." "Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves." "A man should look for what is, and not for what he thinks should be." "Before God we are all equally wise - and equally foolish." (yes, I like Einstein) "I call him free who is led solely by reason." "What can be asserted without proof can be dismissed without proof."

Death is certain, Life is not I really love this one, since what it means only depends from the mood of the reader.

Here are a few others: "Momentum, a function of mass and velocity, is conserved between portals. In layman's terms, speedy thing goes in, speedy thing comes out." I could not stop laughing when I hear that in-game.

?O God! I could be bounded in a nutshell, and count myself king of infinite space, were it not that I have bad dreams? Hamlet has to be one of the most quotable things ever devised. There is a special providence in the fall of a sparrow. There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.

The blind keep their eyes closed" "Why do you talk of a splinter in a man's eye whilst ignoring the plank in your own?"

Why not? As simplistic and non-poetic as it may be, its the one that's pushed me to do many things I'm glad I did, and/ or stopped me from doing anything trully foolish I felt or was inclined to do.

I don't know who said it first, but one line that's always stuck with me was Once God puts his hand on my enemy, I take my hand off. Which, down the line, I've actually used... On a less serious tone, a bit of a silly one that I've always liked and sorta live by; In God I trust, all others pay cash. Oh and to go in an almost completely silly direction, this entire song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqiwEafCJ74 [On a side note, I'm not really a religious person, just that both of the quotes happen to contain God in them.]

'On a given day, a given circumstance, you think you have a limit. And you then go for this limit and you touch this limit, and you think, 'Okay, this is the limit.' As soon as you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high.' 'if you no longer go for a gap that exists, you are no longer a racing driver ' Ayrton Senna Da Silva

"Man [has] always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much - the wheel, New York, wars and so on - while all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man - for precisely the same reason."

On a less serious tone, a bit of a silly one that I've always liked and sorta live by; [On a side note, I'm not really a religious person, just that both of the quotes happen to contain God in them.] I didn't quite get the 1st one actually. What does it mean to "take off your hand"? Why would you cut/ take off your hand, or is it simply a metaphor? (Well, it is its probably a metaphor, since I doubt you can "take off" your hand like that, I just don't get it.)

lol yeah you don't go cutting your hands off every time someone you dislike dies. It's just that when someone you don't like dies, you just let go of your disagreements and all that. No point holding a grudge against a dead person.

One from He-Man the Movie that has always stuck with me, and that I *do* actually live by; Man-at-arms: "Don't think while you're eating!" Sage advice. Edit: also; ?Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.?
