Do you live by any mottos? You know, "a sentence, phrase, or word inscribed on something as appropriate to or indicative of its character or use" or perhaps "a short expression of a guiding principle." I have two I like and generally try to follow.

1. Do what you have to do when you have to do it, and some day, you can do what you want to do when you want to do it.
2. Hope for the best, but plan for the worst.

So, anyone have any serious, funny, or otherwise interesting mottos they live by?
 
Everything is going to be ok.

I think very few things are worth getting upset over, if I miss my bus, my plane, there is always another one. If I get lost, I will find my way there, if I am late, then so be it. As long as I am not hurt, and the people I love are not hurt, don't stress.
 
Don't take yourself too seriously. You're neither as important nor as interesting as you believe to be.


That's only for people with good self-esteem though.

A lot of people never mention that part. Wish I would have gotten that memo earlier.
 
The world keeps turning. And we must turn with it.

People trapped by the chains of "maybe" can never achieve their dreams.
 
There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.
 
I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted. I won't be laid a-hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.
 
I am vengeance, I am the night, I am Batman!
 
For some reason I've latched onto a quote from Descartes:
"Cogito Ergo Sum" (I think, therefore I am).

Reminds me to step back at stressful times and realize how crazy it is that I can even think about stress, and life, and everything.
 
You are who you think you are.

"Do unto other as you would like done to you."

Doesn't work all the time. I rarely keep in touch with people and they get mad at me.
 
"Donger hungry. Donger need food."
