I'm telling that's EVERYONE'S motto. And if they tell you different they're lying.

"Want something done [properly]? Do it yourself!"

Yessss!! That is SO true. I ALWAYS say that. There has to be a reason, and you know what? There always is. Definitely my motto! <33

SO true, too. I treasure everything I have so so sooo much.

LUCY

"Each cloud has a silver lining,and in that lining is probably rain."

"today is another day just like yesterday was."

"Life: live it you don't have a choice anyway"

No really this is my motto.

"The greatest thing you'll ever learn is how to love and be loved in return"

The situations that I usually end up dealing with require me to apply the following mottos I live by:

"Everything happens for a reason." -- I always want to know why. Always. Calculate stuff and it really does end up making sense, as already mentioned in the thread.

"If you don't expect the world out of things, you'll rarely end up disappointed." -- Is one I thought up myself several years ago when I discovered that things can go wrong so easely, if you factor in that possibility more often, disappointment isn't as great. Not everybody likes this one though.

"Respect those who respect you and screw the rest." -- I like to apply this one a lot in the present time. I don't like wasting my time and energy on people who aren't worth it.

"Every human being deserves respect.. at first." -- Goes hand in hand with the one above, I believe in treating every person with respect, until they decide otherwise.

"Patience is a virtue." -- Patience is one of my best friends. It has brought me so much happiness over the years, without patience, I'd be nowhere.

Those are the most important ones for me.

How About

"There is no easy way out"
"Work your ass off"
"What is easy is not always best. What is best is not always easy"
"Patience is a virtue"--who knows who said that
"Thinking abilities/creativity/intuition are worth more than knowledge"--main point of something Einstein said but I can't remember the exact quote
"If it has to be heavily-advertised it probably isn't all that good"
"Make your own rules"
"Think for yourself"
"Consider as many angles as possible"
"Be always skeptical"
"The best truths are not found in books"
"Pay attention and you might learn something"
"Never underestimate anyone"
"Don't let your ego overpower you"
"If you're not getting a response, stop clicking the mouse button"---oh if only people would realize that
"Listen to people"
"Do unto others as you would have others do unto you" --Bible
"Judge not lest ye be judged"--Bible
"Nothing in the universe is meets-the-eye"
"Failed attempts are not failure but progress if you learned something from them"

Eh...mostly I made those up just now and any resemblance to whatever else is purely coincidental, save the virtues and Bible and creativity ones which are borrowed.

Here's mine that I ALWAYS tell people.

"Life is like a dick. When it gets hard, f**k it."

Tee hee hee

Hmm... sounds like the motto of a quitter; "when it gets too tough, bail out."
