Your life's motto

[XanBcoo]

I have a few:

"Never go back on your word": I make a promise, or say I will do something, and I do it. I heard one time that a man has no greater honor than his word, and thought that was a pretty good code to live by. This was also influenced by Naruto somewhat.

I also have a moral code which I TRY to live by, yet rarely succeed. That is simply to put others ahead of myself, but to disregard the wants of others if there is some higher priority. So in order of importance, I try to tend to: 1. What needs to be done. 2. The needs/wants of others. And then, 3. The needs/wants of myself.

"Make them proud': This is just to remind me of how much I have in my life, and that none of it should be wasted. I always feel I owe a lot to the people who have made sacrifices for me (not just my parents, either). So this is kind of a motivational motto. It's similar to one I used to have that went "to whom much is given, much is expected" but that one seemed too rigid and put too much pressure on me, so I settled for one that acknowledged those who support me.

"Live a life without regrets": Simple enough. I'm usually pretty shy person, and I'm not inclined to take chances. This is just to remind me that it's no good sitting around, thinking of what could have been.

"Meh, that's life": Similar to "shit happens"

"Never take raisins from a rabbit": From Baulder's Gate. This one gets a special mention [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

At first dreams seem impossible
Then improbable
but eventually, they become inevitable

Damn right I'm going to become the dictator of the world!

"Screw consequences, act on impulse!"
or
"Why? Because I can..."

[Deadfire]

wow i didn't think so many would answer anyways i said i'd give my current one and here it is

My existence may create some things
That may make or break me
But whatever it does it will define me
Make my mark for better or worse

All I can hope for is
I will help that someone
And that person will go on and help another
That way I can fade in peace

Do good. Live freely.

"It's just a life"

Heard a classmates dad say this, he is also a cab driver. Said it while he drove me and my friends home one night, which was a pure coincidence. Really liked it for some reason.

Burnin pages of the Bible
Just to get the fuck by
Don't give a shit about Jesus
I'm too busy getting high

I usually go by the "people can do whatever they want, as long as they keep others out of it." philosophy. It basically means that I don't give two flying shits about what anyone else does with their life, as long as they keep other people out of it. I may find the image of two men having sex horrible, but if guys want to be gay then I really don't care, just don't start doing it in my living room.

I also like "At least your better off than X" This is what I say when any of my friends starts emoing up the place, I just tell them to appreciate what they do have instead of what they don't. If they get upset I just say "at least you still have your family, friends, home etc." and try to get them to appreciate this stuff while they have it. 'Cause you never know when the day will come that you don't have it anymore and you look back and think "I didn't appreciate it/him/her at all." or "I wish I knew them better as a person" or something like that.

"I wanna be the very best, that no one ever was

Life's short. So, eat dessert first.

This is not so much a life motto as much as it is a qoutable qoute (that I came up with myself nonetheless).

"some say one should not a judge a book by it's cover. I have read from the book of (Insert name of intended person or object here) and let me tell you, most of the pages were blank."

[Divinity]

"You can laugh at me because I'm different, but I'm going to laugh at you because your all the same."

In other words.. Don't do things you don't like to just fit in and be like everyone else. Just do your own thing and if people don't like you for that, then screw them because there's like 9395893859485943895849529852 people in this world who will like you. Being different is good anyway. Why would you want to be the same? That's boring!
