Doesn’t have to be a life motto. Any motto, for any application.
Mine is: “Fear is shorter than regret.”
Your lack of planning is not my emergency.
If you’re the smartest person in the room, then you’re in the wrong room.
You do the best you can with what you’ve got.
Live fast eat ass
Safety first.
It’s boring, and not good advice for living a life or making big decisions, but in the day-to-day it reminds me to be careful.
