On a day to day basis, do you have a bible verse or some sort of saying that you live by? What is it?

Thats an interesting thought. I've always been rather fond of "Be careful what you wish for, you might actually get it", lol.

Do onto others, as you would have them do onto you.

Might be hard to narrow it down to one Bible verse so here's a couple.
We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God: those who are called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28
For I know the plans I have for you"--this is the LORD's declaration--"plans for your welfare, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11
But if not... Daniel 3:18 This one is from a story where three men were about to be put to death for worshipping God. They tell the king who is going to kill them that their God is able to save them. But they realize that God does not have to save them. So they continue that even if God does not save them, they will stay faithful to Him to the end. Those three words serve as a reminder that God can do all things, but should He choose not to save me from something, I will still be faithful.
*This was also the message sent by the trapped British troops to the people back home at Dunkirk.

LTJG Private RallyPoint Member: "For I shall have compassion on my people; and, I will comfort my afflicted ones". "Be still and know that I am GOD". And, possibly most important for you to remember, LTJG Private RallyPoint Member, would be the following two scriptures: "Fear not." and "Have no anxiety about anything".
Ensign Shadow, I have tried to recall the exact scriptures for you; the best that I could.
Prayerfully, some/all of the scriptures that I have quoted for you: might help you.
Sending to You my Prayers, Ensign Shadow- Margaret C. Higgins U.S. Army Retired

If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat; if he is thirsty, give him water to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.

Gods provision in Philippians 4: 11-13 "Not that I speak from want, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am. I know how to get along with humble means, and I also know how to live in prosperity; in any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and going hungry, both of having abundance and suffering need. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

As I look through various social media sites and news website comment sections, Psalm 53:1 comes to mind a lot.

I know it may be over used but its a good one and covers a lot - Psalms 23.

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures.
He leadeth me besides clear waters. He restoreth my soul. He leadeth me in paths of righteousness for his namesake. Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me. Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies. Thou anointest my head with oil. My cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord, forever.

I actually have a bible verse tattooed on my forearms and a quote from one of my favorite poems on my shoulders. Revelations 19:11 is the bible verse. The poem quote is "Dulce et Decorum est Pro Patria Mori"
