Doesn’t have to be a life motto. Any motto, for any application.

Mine is: “Fear is shorter than regret.”

    Before you criticize a man, you should walk a mile in his shoes. That way if he gets angry, you’re a mile away! And you’ve got his shoes!

    Paraphrased from Forrest Gump.

    “Well, I’ve come this far. Might as well keep going.”

    It’s great, because you just lie to yourself about the starting point of any task, and it doesn’t seem so bad.
    If I’ve survived from birth until now, then I guess I can survive doing the dishes.

    “The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.” — George Bernard Shaw
