Do you have a motto or a tagline that you live by, that sums up who you are and/or what you do?
My motto in life is "Life's too short to be miserable" -- it's worked out pretty well for me so far. There are others, like "Let everything you do be done in love" from 1 Corinthians 16:14 as well...but the first one is my favorite?
I'm recently gone with "Survive and Thrive". It's short, catchy, and rhymes, plus it has help me focus myself to some decent results in online poker as of late.
When I'm gaming (RPG or console/PC) it's "Kill it, before it dies!"
For life in general, there is a feeling that was summed up in one of my favorite stupid movies, "Bubble Boy"
"Don't live in regret, esse."
I don't use the literal quote (but it is funny hearing it in Danny Trejo's voice) but that idea has helped me be a more balanced person, since 2000. I have a hard time letting things go, especially when it was a bad choice or something that blows up in my face.

I try never to sweat anything relating to money too much. Sure sometimes it sucks when you don't have much. Or if you realize you spent too much. But really, as long as you have your health, and your mind, you can always go out and find a way to get more money, no matter how hard it might be to earn it. Never let money make you turn on the ones or things you love.

Can I steal that? I really like it.
Mine is "If this doesn't work, I'll always think it should have." But it's less of a motto and more of a quip.
I suppose it's still "kill 'em all, let God sort 'em out". That was the one from the airborne and it still works for me.

That the universe was formed by a fortuitous concourse of atoms, I will no more believe than that the accidental jumbling of the alphabet would fall into a most ingenious treatise of philosophy - Swift
In life in general, I go by this saying: "When you use rational thought, you're hindered by just that, rationalle and thought. But, when you're good and crazy, the sky's the limit!" Comes from the Tick, and it's a rather good indicator why I decided to run into burning buildings in my spare time.
"Laugh and the world laughs with you. Frown and the world laughs at you." -Me.

I work in a psychiatric hospital. I've been slapped in the face with a bible and have seen more naked people than I ever wanted to. An extremely boring day is a good day.
