"Kills bugs dead."
"You can't find the truth, you pick the lie you like best."
What's wrong with "I don't know"?
"Will this matter in 6 months?" If not, don't waste your mental energy on it.
"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.
Any man can grab a tiger by it's balls, but it takes a real man to squeeze.
Don't get paid in promises.
So no more running. I aim to misbehave.
What me worry?
"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.
No murders. Everything else you can apologize for.
Keep on keepin' on...
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'
In your deathbed you'll regret more the things you didn't do than what you did
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)

Dont break the weekend rules
- Do NOT add to the population
- Do NOT subtract from the population
- Do not ever do anything that will have you end up in the newspaper, hospital or jail.
-
- If you do end up in jail, establish dominance quickly.
Also dont do anything you would be afraid to explain to the paramedics.
Never be afraid of paramedics, they aren't there to rat you out. They just want to know what they need to do to make you better/not worse. They hate paperwork as much as anyone, and a dead patient is a ton of paperwork.

"Schlimmer geht immer"
It can always be worse.
Not really my motto but a phrase I find myself thinking often in the last couple months.

If you're the smartest person in the room, then you're in the wrong room.
"I like my coffee bitter, like life"
"If it tastes good It is not healthy"
Just to clarify, I am not a super healthy eater. I like to use this expression when the topic comes up to point out that there is no magic and is a miserable experience to lose weight and eat better, better to come to terms with it.
Yeah. I am not a super positive person.
To follow up with yours.
"It has to be worth the calories."
If you're going to eat unhealthy then make sure it's damn tasty and not sad eating.

Jack of all trades, master of one.
"Follow the money." and/or "Money is fungible."
All progress is progress
Do what you have to do before you do what you want to do .
If you go outside, have a way to get back in.
Never trust anything with a beak. Except for crows; crows are bros.
Life's too serious for me to take it seriously.
