My motto is, "As long as it doesn't happen to me, I can laugh at it," feel free to post your motto here, unless this gets deleted for being off-topic and somewhat pointless, but really, there's nothing I can do about that.
Update: I will now give out the "Clever Motto of the Day" award to whoever I think has the most clever motto.
No one ever got anywhere by being a pussy.
Nemo me impune lacessit!-Oops!
I mean,
Don't be evil.
Why do today what you can do tommorow?
Do not do to others what you do not want them to do to you.
Do unto others before they do it unto you!
the possiblilitys are always endless
Walk in someone's shoes for a mile then run.
Learning from your own mistakes is fine. Learning from other people's mistakes is better.
vade mecum parum puer

vade mecum parum puer
What is the correct translation for that?
Is it something like:
Basic manual for little children or
come with me little children?
I think it's something like go/come with me little boy, or "how to be Michael Jackson"
That ain't workin'. That's the way you do it: you get your money for nothin' and your chicks for free. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5ZEzWwKJnY)
Someday you'll think that going out at night is to take the trash out. When that day arrives don't speak with it!

The latter. The definition of a book developed because people carry books everywhere.
Life is just a long series of choices.
That's more of a fact than a motto ;)!
True, but I think the meaning is implied. I have to keep reminding myself that life is a series of choices, and doing nothing is a choice that often leads to failure. I'm a procrastinator by nature you see.
When life gives you lemons, squirt them in people's eyes!
I think, therefore I am. (I did a research project on the guy who created this idea)

Never forget the butterfly effect. If a butterfly flaps it's wings in the mid east, US sensationalists calls it a terrorist attack.

I know exactly who Rene Descartes is. I choose not to use his name in order to keep people guessing on who it was.
Cogito Ergo Sum. It's the same motto, but in latin. Classy.
lol now say it in mandarin chinese! then say it in 67 african dialects.
anger? this isn't anger. This is mild annoyance. if i was angry you would be dead
You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.
If a messy room means a cluttered mind, what does an empty room mean?

When life gives you lemons, make orange juice.
Quote from: Bromtaghon on May 24, 2010, 08:31:04 PM
When life gives you lemons, make orange juice.
Heard that before with the addition of "and then make everyone wonder how the hell you did it"
When life gives you lemons, throw them right back in its face.
When life gives you lemons...
Drink all the juice in one shot, and then regret it.
When life gives you lemons...
I never understood that motto.
When life gives you lemons,
You make Lemonade!
When in doubt, shoot. (Grunt motto)
never try never fail! :D
What is this? Peace? I think not! (Gunshot)
Love is a snowmobile racing across the tundra and then suddenly it flips over, pinning you underneath. At night, the ice weasels come.
The two star-crossed lovers ran across the field like freight trains, one having left Cleveland at a speed of 70km/h at 7:00 pm and the other having left Kelowna at a speed of 40km/h at 8:30 the next morning...
So it's not a motto, but it's still funny.
Walk a mile in someone's shoes before you judge them.
That way, you're a mile away -- and you have their shoes.
Stay out of trouble and trouble won't come to you, unless you're a protagonist, then trouble will always come to you.
Heroes never have to wait for a parking space.
I have a new motto.
PlEEEEEEEESE don't tazer me. I'll be your best friend. :'(
Anything in life can be solved with a series of powerful explosions... just don't be around when the problem is solved.
If life gives you diabetes,
don't make lemonade
You'll find that a lot of things in life don't make sense, but it usually the things that make the most sense that really make the least sense and the things that make the least sense make absolutely no sense at all
Revenge is a dish best served old.

This has earned the "Clever Motto of the Day" award for today! Congrads namelesscatthingy!
Somehow, the saying "shit happens", naturally not being my motto, has always appealed to me due to the multitude of interpretations it can offer, and I'm sure there will be person-a-many picking it up and proudly living through hardship (and not) with it.
Any landing you walk away from... is a good one.
Shit happens, It's your job to keep it in the toilet
Love is like a series of violent explosions... execpt no problems get solved.
Life is not like a bucket of oats.
I'm sorry about my other flaming post.
Life is like toilet paper, the closer you get to the end, the faster it goes!

so so true
If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it's probably a duck.
If it looks like a turd, smells like a turd, and feels like a turd, it's probably modern art. my apologies to all modern artists.
Revenge is like a wine. Let it age, then, when the time is right . . . Savour it.
what you do to others usually wont affect you, so do it
Read the rules, use proper grammar and punctuation, play the games, share your ideas and enjoy your stay!
Yes, that's my motto.
What can I say? I'm a KZ Disciple.

that's not true.
When you get into a jam, try to talk your way out of it. If that fails, use your intelligence. If THAT fails, cover put your arms up and kiss your teeth goodbye.
How could you kiss your teeth? This is a scientific question, if anyone has the answer tell me.
Pistrix! Pistrix!

Thank you. I quite like it myself.
Money is like Happiness. You don't want it until it is gone.
If in doubt, just spit it out.
When hanging upside-down over a pit of anything boiling, the word "no" should disappear from your vocabulary.
Pleeeeeease don't taze-OUCH, now my fur is all black
There's only one chance at true love, but over a thousand to end it.
There can be no peace of mind in love, since the advantage one has secured is never anything but a fresh starting point for desires.

If you've been married ten years and haven't argued yet, something's seriously wrong with your marriage.
that or you are "married" to a person that you created on facebook :D

Never argue with an idiot. They'll just drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift, that`s why it`s called the present.
Ask a question, and be a fool for 3 minutes. Don't ask a question, and be a fool for the rest of your life.

Hug a cat.
Diamonds are like pretty little daggers. Give a woman enough, and she'll carve your heart out.
make hugs not tazers.
Hug a tazer instead of a cat.
why do I get no hugs?
Don't worry; you get tasers . . .
awww
It's better to be peed off than peed on.
Make war not love.
[spoiler] Ironically I put a bunch of love quotes. [/spoiler]
If you find a cat you might just taser it and feel bad. So instead give it a hug and a nice bowl of milk.
Think of the cats.

Edit: Ops sorry about that wrong link again. The other pic just happens to be the next one its my iPod Touch's fault.
If you're not careful, a late start could lead to an early end.
But more often it leads to a late finish.
An apple a day is a terrrible reload time.
The best way to beat an idiot is to sit back and wait for them to screw up.
Too many cooks cause a singularity, producing a rift in food-time.
Light works whether there are many hands or not.
My house clean=Internet's broken again.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
If it ain't fixable, don't break it.
What would Jesus do?
What if you're not smart enough to know?
Nobody in particular of course, it just came to mind sorry, I dodn't mean to cause offense.
Good point.
My favorite motto:
What would an idiot do? Don't do that.
An apple a day keeps the doctor away- if it's thrown right.
Can't spell slaughter without "laughter."
S?
All things in moderation!
If you can't win, be an obstacle.
Winning isn't about being first, it's about making sure that guy you hate is last.
Don't reach for the stars, you'd never reach a burning ball of gas in outer space, even if you did it would burn your hand cleeeeeen off.
If you go for someone you know you can't have... you'll die alone.
Give a man a fish, he eats for a day. Teach him how to fish, he drains your supply faster. Bottom line, keep the fish to yourself unless he is dying.
Not I, said the duck.
To get anywhere in life, just play the hand you were dealt... then cheat.
Life is NOT like a bucket of oats.
Love is like a euphoric, it makes you feel great for a moment then when you get dumped you have permanent suicidal thoughts.
If I can't have it/win/succeed, nobody else can!
Dance like it hurts, love like you need money, work when people are watching.
You forgot "play like you always lose".
Where did you see that?
The original is "love like you've never been hurt, work like you don't need the money, and dance like nobody's watching"... did you come up with this sick, twisted alteration?
I like it.
I heard the original, and yes I made the new version.
All I want is the chance to prove that money doesn't make you happy. :P
"Let us rid you of the karmic burden of the corrupting influence of money. Us being quite pure, we think we can handle it."
I will now state Mad (http://sinisterdesign.net/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=186)'s motto that I slightly altered.
"When you're in love you eat pie, when you're under stress you eat pie, and if you're about to be eaten by a 5-headed she/he-demon...you eat poison pie to take it with you. >:D"
My motto is simple.
Live with it.
Beauty is in the eye the beholder. And for every one person that doesn't like you, there's someone that does.
But it's not true. If one is an awful person, a real Scrooge, there is, say, one person liking you for five or ten that don't.
