View Full Version : Lifetime's Motto
On the radio today they were discussing lifetime mottos.
One of the presenters said that her motto was formed from a flight she took a few years ago where you could place something on your head (cap maybe?) saying "Wake me up for meals" so that you could sleep on the flight but not wake up hungry after it.
She said that she had adopted this as her "lifetime motto".... :)
I thought it was rather charming :)
What's yours?
'Another pint of your finest, barkeep!'
:)
Step by step walk the thousand mile road...
:D
Oh, and 'It's everybodys fault but mine' ;)

What's yours?Semper Fortuna et Fides
May not be 'correct' latin (not being a scholar of latin I had to resort to 'translation by dictionary') but it reflects my own outlook on the future as I expressed it from a very early age: 'It'll be allright, I'll be allright' (rough translation - the original was not in English :) )
I also like
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Loads - the one which springs to mind right now is "The show must go on".

lifetime mottos eh?
I guess mine would be "never give up"
But to be honest it more usually "well **** em"
One more each we'd be level!

One of the most irritating and pointless things you can say whilst playing crib! :grind:
"Warm, dry and comfortable"

Oh, and my motto is "S$$t happens!" :D

This athiest uses the Christian one of "Do unto others as you would be done by."

:)That'll do me nicely. :)
A few that I like....
"Believe in yourself and you will get there in the end"
"Friends are for life, not just for Christmas"
"Dont give up"
This athiest uses the Christian one of "Do unto others as you would be done by."
Not "Do unto others *before* they do it unto you..."?! :D

oh, and not forgetting
"if at first you don't succeed, cheat"

And of course "if it's worth doing well, it's worth paying somebody else to do it properly" :disturbd:
My gran always used to say "Never put a thing down twice". I didn't really understand her as I was little but what she was getting at was put things away in the right place and you will never lose anything. Hardly a lifetime's motto but an interesting saying...

No of course not..I'm hurt that you should imply that.... :angel:
"Some tortures are physical & some are mental, but the one that's both is DENTAL"
Attributed to Ogden Nash, I've always liked that one :D
Or:
"I can only be nice to one person per day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow's not looking good either"
My most-used is the old "If it ain't broke..." with an ending to suit my mood:
".. don't fix it"
".. break it"
".. you aren't trying hard enough"
".. it can't have been supplied by NTL!" :D

On a similar note: "If it doesn't fit, use a bigger hammer"

Got Several
1. If you don't first succeed, destroy all evidence
2. Don't let the B@$tard$ get you down
3. Don't eat yellow snow
Were you ever in the army? :D

Play more sport, make more music. :)
Music self played is happiness self made. (tmbg)
Heres a few of my faves.....
If you put your mind to it you can accomplish anything. (From Back to the future, I can even hear the Doc saying it when I think it but true none the less)
Wether you win or lose, the only important thing is that you tried.
Expect the unexpected and you'll never be supprised (especially helpful when driving).
Whatever can happen probably will (sort of related to the one above but I thought I'd mention it anyway).
