What quotes do you live by or help you get through situations that come our way in life.

Yes!!! This is one indeed I use pretty often.

Another onen I use, but I believe it's international:

"Keep your friend close and your enemy even closer".

We're about to get a union where I work and the guys were telling how kind were the boss recently, so I said that. One of my friend then said that it was a very popular quote used in the movie The Godfather, but I told him it was also Sun Tzu in The Art of War.
