What is your life motto?

Try to be a better person. Because it’s the right thing to do.

And, oh yeah, don’t be a jerk.
Roddy

Just because you can doesn’t mean you should. I’d appreciate it if more people had this as their motto, too.

Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude. –

I’ve got two, not that good but whatever, right?

  1. Laugh 'till you die
    and
  2. Next time someone insults you, smile and baffle them with you wit, charms and humor (then stab them)

“Resist nothing.”

Blessed are the flexable for they shall not be broken.

Don’t Panic

Kinda long, but I like my facebook quote: “We are the beasts that shout love at the heart of the world. Ehrfurcht vor dem Leben!”

The latter half is a quote from Albert Schweitzer about respecting life in all its forms. It’s not an abortion thing, just a cool kindness/compassion quote I like. The first half denotes my feelings on humanity’s position in the animal kingdom while maintaining the importance of what I feel is highest in life, and how greatly it is lacking. I hope that made some sense.

Give me 100 US dollars.

There are always alternatives.

Other people matter.

It’s going to be OK.

Life is problems - living is solving problems.

There’s always some poor sod worse off than you, so suck it up and stop being a miserable git.

Don’t catch anything that you can’t through back

Damn right. That would have prevented a lot of disasters.

“Always, er, never…forget to check your references.”

I think the young people enjoy it when I “get down” verbally.

is measured in ohms

I used this in a similar thread about 7 or 8 years ago, forgive me for the endless repetition.

Thought of a couple more:

  • Check. Then re-check. (related to ‘measure twice, cut once’)
  • Days may crawl, but years will fly.
  • When situations go bad, when the dreaded inevitable time comes for you to face the music, gird your loins, and face the problem with these
    words: “OK. I’m going in.” (really, just say Fuck it, I’m going in - and somehow you will be able to do just that).

“When life gives you a t-rex, ninja kick it in the head.”

There’s several others in the thread that I quite like as well.

It would prevent a lot of youtube videos, too - “Here, hold my beer…” :smiley:

Be just and fear not.
