After reading this rather sardonic NYTimes’ review of an updated version of “How to Win Friends and Influence People”, I got to thinking about all the great little portable one-liners we try to carry around in our heads to keep ourselves in check or on the “right path”.

For instance, one of the “How to Win” gems mentioned in the article is “Try leaving a friendly trail of little sparks of gratitude on your daily trips”.  As another example, here’s one that has kept crawling up into my consciousness over the last few weeks, “If you aren’t failing, you’re not trying hard enough.”

What one-liners do you live by?…or at least think are good enough for momentary consideration.
