“Fuck it.”
I do say this a lot, so I guess this motto.
If you're the smartest person in the room, then you're in the wrong room.
"If you don't want life you fuck you, be a dick, not an asshole" /J
I don't actually have a life motto, but I do like hearing other people's. I'll find one that jives with me eventually, till then I survive.
Don't get paid in promises.
I'd rather have the ugly truth than pretty lies.
Reminds me of a line out of a book, don't remember which one, but it was along the lines of 'if you can't say yes, then answer anyway, because I'd rather die with the answer than live with the question'
"Life is simultaneously too large and small, it is not worth spending time planning it"
No murders. Everything else you can apologize for.
"Give them a hand and they'll want the arm."
In other words while it's okay to help people you need to be careful and impose some limits here and there, as people are naturally greedy and will burden you for their own benefit.

"You can't find the truth, you pick the lie you like best."
What's wrong with "I don't know"?
Take it sleazy! Maximum effort all the time has only ever gotten me exhausted and useless. Save your strength for when you need it.
(at least, that works for me)
Laziness means getting to things only when necessary. It's just, sometimes necessary is much earlier than you'd think

Every day, in every way, I improve myself
Any man can grab a tiger by it's balls, but it takes a real man to squeeze.
"Will this matter in 6 months?" If not, don't waste your mental energy on it.
Keep on keepin' on...
So no more running. I aim to misbehave.
"Kills bugs dead."
"I'm just a monkey lookin' at a monolith." said in the strong southern drawl possible.
Very good for technical situations where I'm stumped.
What me worry?
I have one but I'll tell ya later.
As my blood type always says: be positive!
I mean, I'm not B+, but I like the sentiment.
Probably something like "It's probably not as bad as you think" which applies to people, situations, difficulty of talks and a lot other stuff.
