As the topic indicates... What is the philosophy, quote, saying etc... that you base you life mostly on and use basicly every day in your life with yourself and your surroundings?
I mainly follow the quote : "To be or not to be? That is not the question! To BE! But to be what?" it kind of makes me think about every choice i make in my life and every path i choose to take with myself and my surrounding.

This is such an interesting topic, loving it.
I would say mine will be: "There is no sadness without joy, and there is no joy without pain" Orphaned Land - Evil Urge
If you really look at this simple sentence you will see that everything in life based on it, there is no love without hate, because if hate is not exist then love won't exist, and that emotion we call love will be just a normal state so it won't be uniqe.

If you were to elaborate, would you say something in the area of "In life, we must take risks and experience pain to live it to the fullest." ?

Having thought about this a fair bit recently, I've decided/relaised that I try to live by J.S. Mill's Utilitarianism. The only moral code I can really agree with.

"My philosophy, in essence, is the concept of a man as a heroic being, with his own happiness as the moral purpose of his life, with productive achievement as his noblest activity, and reason as his only absolute." - Ayn Rand

That basically describes my philosophy of life.

Pessimist never gets dissapointed.
Otherwise, I change my "life philosophy" every day
Oh, just remembered..a friend of mine was once told by his brother, who has curentlly been listening to rap, that he's gonna "become" a metalhead just to "experience" different types of girls. So my friend said to him: you can shave your head and become a skinhead, you can put hair-gel on and become a sleezball, but your hair won't grow long in a day. Yeah...after 6 years, I still remember his words.

This is what I base my life on..just a 2 line quote written by Robert Frost. It explains my thoughts on religion, god, life, time, space, everything; my philosophy on life.

But the secret sits in the middle and knows."

-Christianity............................ -Music is the only Medicine
-Ecology................................. -Healthy mind in a healthy body
-Do it yourself......................... -Death is Essential for some
-Peace Love Unity Respect........ -Politics are a disease for humanity
-Freedom of Speech................. -Kiss my ass if you don't like me

I guess that in an ideal world, I'd be living by the Hindu philosophy of Advaita Vedanta, but adapted for the modern world. It pretty much states that knowing the truth of any matter is the fundamental goal of life (though this is an exceedingly brief and shallow statement); however, this isn't an ideal world, so in practice I live by a fusion of that and so I guess another thing that affects my life is Newton's Third Law of Motion. "Every action has an equal and opposite reaction." This statement is pretty true for everything, I've found. Between the two of them, I have my guidelines and a reminder of the consequences for wrong actions!

im kinda forgot to add the desiderata, its really useful i find for everything life throws at me
does anyone else use it?? or have read/heard of it??

here it is:

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly, and listen to others,
even to the dull and ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be
greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career
however humble;
it is a real possession in the
changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you
to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself.
Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love,
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit
to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore, be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labours and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.
With all its sham,
drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.

i love reading what other people have quoted and i have a load of quotes that mean a lot to me on my myspace page. I try to follow them but being human inevitably forget sometimes. The childrens ones have probably meant the most to me over the past year:

Life
Better to regret something you have done, rather than something you haven't
The question is not whether we will die, but how we will live

Love
To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world
Sometimes the person you really need is the one you didn't think you wanted

Work
Find something you love to do and you'll never have to work a day in your life

Children
Children are living messages we send to a time we will not see
Children need love, especially when they don't deserve it
Kids: they dance before they learn there is anything that isn't music

Death
Some people are so afraid to die that they never begin to live.
I don't fear death because I know the man. And he's got nothing especial against me. But I am afraid of not living enough to have a good tale to tell him, on the long walk back home
