Personal Mottos?

they dont have to be profound one liners that define your entire life. just a phrase and the context in which you use it. I'll start.

safe sex - don't be silly put a rubber on your willy
friends - less is more
ladies - "you can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you get what you need"

 

Quality over quantity...
A hard days work is usually a good nights sleep...
Respect given is respect earned...
Treat others as you wish to be treated....
First guy there, last to leave.....

 

-Try not to be a douchebag.

Doesn't mean you have to let people walk all over you, but you don't have to be a dick while looking out for yourself.

 

This too shall pass.

 

Everyone should believe in something. I believe I'll have a beer.

I could agree with you, but why should we both be wrong?

 

At the end of the day when it really comes down to it, you are the only one who is going to have your back.

I developed this one after many years of constantly being let down or (before I was old enough to know how to prevent it) getting screwed over.

Completing projects: Starting's finishing
Modeling: Once is an event, twice could be a coincidence, three times is a pattern.
Quality-controlling feedback: Assess Applause

 

Someone always has it better; someone always has it worse.

It helps keep things in perspective.

 

Beer or women? I always choose the wrong one...

What's a motto? What's a motto with you?

 

"I'm slow but sure". I was given that on a T-shirt or something when I was about 10 yo. It had a turtle on it.
I guess it was supposed to be a joke, but I kinda like the motto now.

 

"Know yourself"

 

I know it's hokey, but "live well, laugh often, love much." I kinda hate that it's all over coffee mugs and cross-stitch patterns, but yep, that's how I try to live.

I also adhere to "Do no harm. Help when you can. Return good for evil." And of course, "don't let the bitches get you down."

 

I've grown to like something my hairdresser says, when we talk about someone judging others' looks. She says it's only an opinion of one person.

I've been timid in bigger crowds to some extent or when meeting with new people, going to new places, but tried to get over fearing this "crowd" and bore the thought in mind, that in the end, you always encounter a person one on one, no matter, what his or her position is.

This is kind of reverse, but sort of same, if you follow me, than a Finnish saying: "Kahden kauppa on kolmannen korvapuusti." Roughly meaning 'a deal between two, is a clip round the ear for the third'.
