Be excellent to each other.

Leave it better than you found it

"Try anything at least once" be it food or an experience you don't know until you try. You learn about the world, about others and most importantly about yourself.

My grandfather (who died well before my time), but I picked up the saying from my mum;

"Pray to God, but row to shore"

My sister gave me the following to bring me up from the depths of despair, and to bring me back to earth before I make an Icarus of myself:

"This too shall pass"

"I pretended to be the person I wanted to be until I became that person, or he became me." Attributed to Cary Grant. On the days I wake up feeling miles away from the person I want to be, I can pretend.

1: It’s weird to not be weird

2: Hate only the hateful

3: Be intolerant of intolerance

Don't count your drugs over the toilet.

The golden rule. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.

treat people how THEY want to be treated. don't treat people how YOU want to be treated, cuz you aren't the same as everyone else.

golden rule is trash.

“Your rights end where another’s begin.”

A nicely summarized mantra to push back on the paradox of tolerance. Many people use free speech, free market, etc, as an excuse to impede others, and this is my response to that.

Expect it to get worse. Either I'm wrong and pleasantly surprised or I get to be right as a consolation prize. Also encourages me to plan ahead so when things go bad, I don't spend as much time mid-crisis figuring out what to do.

If you're gonna be stupid, be smart about it.

"Anything for a weird life."

Said by Zaphod Beeblebrox in the original radio version of The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy in response to being led by another character into the zany peril of the moment.

A relationship can only work if all parties are getting out of it what they need.

Can't never did anything

"Everything that can go wrong, will go wrong"

Made quite a few enemies and traumas by being paranoid af.

If you encounter a problem once fix it. If you encounter it twice fix it but note it might be recurring. If you encounter it thrice consider a permanent solution.

Motivation is not required

As a disabled person who’s spent most of her life in abusive relationships if I waited for motivation to get things done I’d be long since dead

"It's better to fart into the toilet than to shit into your pants."

One of my own making after a particularly bad gut bug.

Other ones I have:

-egos trip. But the humble doesn’t stumble.

-if you’re not talking income, then walking outs the outcome

-talk to me nice. Or don’t talk to me twice.

-Minor setback for a major get back

-the reasons change like seasons change.

Do it right, or do it twice.

Dont do anything that you would be afraid to explain to the paramedics.

Always have a plan. Be prepared to abandon that plan and make a new plan.

f you plan for the worst, all surprises are pleasant

"Ever Tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better." - Samuel Beckett

"Don't be a cunt"

If the women didn't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy

the serenity prayer (or mantra, for the non-religious)

The cure to all of life's problems is salt water: sweat, tears, or the sea.

You will not break me!

"Sense and honor your intuition; it always has your best interest at heart." ~ Unknown

none in particular. I have had a peculiar obsession with truth my whole life though.

As my father used to say “Don’t do two crimes at the same time”

Only commit one crime at a time.

It ain't cheating if you don't get caught.

Not the most noble thing to say, but I follow it from time to time ( mainly in inconsequential things as of now ) Sometimes you gotta cheat to get ahead in whatever you are doing, so just don't get caught.

Be kind.

No man in the wrong can stand against a fellow thats right and keeps on a-comin'.

Texas Ranger Bill McDonald

Everything is relative.

Never be bored. Your life will be more joyful if you do a lot of activities and your brain is always active and doing something

YOLO (You only live once) and keep moving forward
