A good friend of mine gave me this one a while back when work had just become too much and he saw it on my face and heard it in my voice when I stopped in for my weekly sales call. I've tried to live by it since.

"Non illigitamus carborundum - Latin - Don't let the bastards grind you down."

One that I've lived by day by day for about 12 yrs now after I got stabbed in the back(6times) during an event gone bad that a friend didn't survive.

"Trust no one and you won't get burned."

Sounds a little harsh but when you almost die and your best friend dies because of someone you thought your relationship was thicker than blood with you learn not to trust. Haven't been stabbed since :D Just burned, by a cold heated cheating bitch 6 months before the wedding, glad it happened then and not later :P

Following the words of Snoop Dogg

"If you're scared, go to church."
