"If you don't want life you fuck you, be a dick, not an asshole" /J
I don't actually have a life motto, but I do like hearing other people's. I'll find one that jives with me eventually, till then I survive.

Every day, in every way, I improve myself
MacGyver something everyday.
"Life is simultaneously too large and small, it is not worth spending time planning it"
"Kills bugs dead."
"Will this matter in 6 months?" If not, don't waste your mental energy on it.
Any man can grab a tiger by it's balls, but it takes a real man to squeeze.
"You can't find the truth, you pick the lie you like best."
What's wrong with "I don't know"?
Dont break the weekend rules
- Do NOT add to the population
- Do NOT subtract from the population
- Do not ever do anything that will have you end up in the newspaper, hospital or jail.
-
- If you do end up in jail, establish dominance quickly.
Also dont do anything you would be afraid to explain to the paramedics.
Never be afraid of paramedics, they aren't there to rat you out. They just want to know what they need to do to make you better/not worse. They hate paperwork as much as anyone, and a dead patient is a ton of paperwork.

Take it sleazy! Maximum effort all the time has only ever gotten me exhausted and useless. Save your strength for when you need it.
(at least, that works for me)

“Fuck it.”
I do say this a lot, so I guess this motto.
Don't get paid in promises.
I'd rather have the ugly truth than pretty lies.
Reminds me of a line out of a book, don't remember which one, but it was along the lines of 'if you can't say yes, then answer anyway, because I'd rather die with the answer than live with the question'
So no more running. I aim to misbehave.
What me worry?
If you're the smartest person in the room, then you're in the wrong room.
"I'm just a monkey lookin' at a monolith." said in the strong southern drawl possible.
Very good for technical situations where I'm stumped.
Do what you have to do before you do what you want to do .
If you go outside, have a way to get back in.
"I like my coffee bitter, like life"
"If it tastes good It is not healthy"
Just to clarify, I am not a super healthy eater. I like to use this expression when the topic comes up to point out that there is no magic and is a miserable experience to lose weight and eat better, better to come to terms with it.
Yeah. I am not a super positive person.
To follow up with yours.
"It has to be worth the calories."
If you're going to eat unhealthy then make sure it's damn tasty and not sad eating.
That is the worst when it happens. Like the calories sure are there how they make this pizza/burguer/soda/whatever tastes so bland?

I have one but I'll tell ya later.
All progress is progress
Too strange to live, too rare to die by HST.
Sums up my life pretty well.
Life's too serious for me to take it seriously.
"Follow the money." and/or "Money is fungible."
"Don't give a shit."
Don't be "that guy".
Depending on the situation, whatever "that guy" is will be different, but generally I try not to be "that guy". Very rarely "that guy" is a good guy, and then the whole philosophy breaks down, but most of the time that's not the case, and I am happy trying not to be "that guy".
Never trust anything with a beak. Except for crows; crows are bros.
