What's your motto?

[ForzaFiori]

Pain is not weakness leaving the body. Pain is the body telling you that something is screwed up and that you really should stop. Like now. Seriously.

As someone recovering from a sports injury, I must say I love that one.

[Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll]

Vivimus, Vivamus, at Momento Mori

[lordofthe_wog]

My current motto would have to be

First you fight with your head, then you fight with your heart

[dsuursoo]

'sometimes the rocket goes boom' is my work motto. it really holds true in R&D.

'who dares, wins' comes pretty close to being the best motto i could want for most everything else.

[ForzaFiori]

i have 2.
both from coaches i've had.

"Do or do not, there is no try."
and
"Play the next play"

basically its "either get something done or skip it, dont half ass anything" and "when something goes wrong, get over it and go full out next time"

[Traveling_Angel]

Pretty much the poem If. Think your mature? Read that through. If you say "Of course I pass!" then read it again. If you say, "Whoa... I'm nowhere near that..." then you're fairly close.

As well as "There are those who think and those who dream, but I for one refuse to chose between them!" -Liriel Baerne. This sums up the way I live. With passion and logic, Dream to do the right thing, Think to tell what that is.

[Haruki-kun]

"Do not do today what you can leave for tomorrow!!!"

OK, OK, in all seriousness. Off the top of my head I thought of:
"Do not mock that which you do not understand."

[Terumitsu]

Current motto... Mmm...

"Change is like a rocket. It turns heads as it goes by and completely alters what it is aimed at."

That is roughly it.

[Skippy]

"When in doubt... F***!"

From the movie "Scent of a Woman"... Wise words...

[Old One]

When in doubt... could be Belkar motto too! He said that too, but ended with something like put fire to something, or light something up... don't remember!
Just made me think of it... I've never seen that movie. I think I should someday. *nods*

[Micate]

My Motto:

Everything will be good.


Also kind of a mantra I guess... Repeat it enough and it becomes true.

Everyone should watch that movie at least once in their lifetime. It is really a good one, full with great advices about life, such as my motto.

[banjo1985]

Forget about the past - live for today.

My motto, because it's something I didn't do in my teenage years, since then I've realised that lifes to short not to!

[Hannes]

Well, due to my weird nature I'd say...
Respect everything. Accept everything. Absorb everything.

[Ashtar]

"Do the right thing"

Not that you always know what the right thing to do is. But at least you can try and do what you think is right.

It's a moral, a philosophy and a guiding principle for me, but I must admit it is sometimes damn inconvenient.

[Morty]

What you can do today, do tomorrow. Works every time.

[Castaras]

My motto?

Be yourself.

That's all I'll need in the way of mottos.

[PlatinumJester]

"If you lend someone £20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it"

[CrazedGoblin]

look in the signiture

[eidreff]

If it ain't broke don't fix it!

and

Which red button.....?

[sktarq]

Translating from French. "And let the good times roll"....why? because it's its mostly myself who is stopping from haveing a good time.

Man stumbles over the truth, but most of the time picks himself up and continues on. -WC

Pretty much the poem If. Think your mature? Read that through. If you say "Of course I pass!" then read it again. If you say, "Whoa... I'm nowhere near that..." then you're fairly close.

Funny enough that poem is the closest thing I have to a holy book. In terms of what I try and live up to etc. Twitch okay so I will never get there is no reason for not aiming for perfection....hey that's not a bad motto either..I think I'll keep it.

I don't suffer from insanity.
I enjoy every minute of it.

I like

[Cyrano]

I don't have a motto, nor a code of ethics, nor a code of honour. I have mostly instinct, wrapped in whimsy, wrapped in bacon.

Funny I figured yours was if you can't convince them confuse them

[The Orange Zergling]

New one.

"Always look at the other bank of the pond." By which I mean consider all viewpoints, not the viewpoints of those across the ocean...

[DraPrime]

Non-conformists hate conformists for not conforming to non-conformity.

It's very true when you think about it.

[Hell Puppi]

I have a few sayings, not really life mottos...

1. The further away a weapon keeps you enemy, the better.

2. 'tactical retreats' are VERY useful.

3. Stand and be true (Dark Tower series...mostly just my take on 'please don't be a tofu person')

[Cyrano]

How does that conflict with whimsy?

[Fitzclowningham]

When you stare into the void, the void stares back at you. Let it. It can't hurt you.

(apologies to Nietzsche)

[Jacklu]

My life motto?

Life is a joke, try not to forget to laugh.

[Danin]

In the end, everything works out for the best. Regardless of if it feels that way right now or not.

Simple but I like it. I'm also a fan of "If peace is an illusion let us all be deluded" or something like that.

I also like "No". When you think of the different applications it can have depending on the event in question its quite effective.
