What is your life motto? Come and list them here. Number1- don't sweat the small stuff. Add yours.

[G2B]

As I say, I'm going to try to live by:

'Don't sweat the small stuff'.

I'd like to see hundreds of others and see what other people base their lives/sanity on.

So list them here!

If in doubt, eat cake.

We're here for a good time, not for a long time.

If you rest on your laurels they turn into wreaths.

Love the Rut one.

Glory is fleeting but obscurity is forever- Napoleon Bonaparte.

Two tears in a bucket, mother fuck it.

Kharma man...

It's never too late for a happy childhood- Gloria Steinem

"If you're not living life on the edge you're taking up too much room" That was my DH's and I've adopted it.
I always used to like "Some motherf**s are always trying to ice-skate uphill" not really so much a life motto but it always makes me smile . . . .
The one I always seem to say to everyone and I suppose I do live by is "Does it really matter" The answer always generates the appropriate action.

It isn't true that "manners cost nothing".

"Never cry over something that won't cry over you"

A story here involving a bit of a motto...

I remember once when I was about 21 I was at a beautiful outdoor centre on the Isle of Skye attending a leadership course and I was being bullied by a girl there (because I was making the most of the course and she was being like a sulky teen) One day after she pushed me on the way down the stairs I was upset and a member of staff found me and I had a really good talk with him - later he discreetly slipped a piece of paper to me. I opened it up and it was a 'with compliments' slip from the centre and he had written the following on the back:

To Schneebly

"Great spirits will always encounter violent opposition from mediocre minds" - Albert Einstein

from Brad (he was Canadian)

I still have the piece of paper folded up in my purse because it meant so much to me at that moment in time and I am just wating to pass the quote on to someone else

I really like that one!! Some belters are coming out now.

Living well is the best revenge

Aww Schneebly that's really lovely.

I love

"Dance like there's nobody watching
Love like you'll never get hurt
Sing like there's nobody listening
Live like it's heaven on earth
And speak from the heart to be heard".

Also the whole of Desiderata and Sunscreen by Baz Luhrmann

Oh! and

"don't travel through life on the 'if only' express"...

keep calm and carry on

expect the worse, then you can only be pleasantly surprised!

What doesn't kill you will make you stronger

"Life is like a shit sandwich: the more bread you got, the less shit you eat."

Mine is sung, and it goes...
"Doctor Pepper, what's the worst that can happen?"

Basically don't sweat the small stuff but with American upbeat

An old ex of mine always used to say 'Why have a 6-pack when you can have a full keg?' which I used to think really funny.

Generally I like the 'bugger it, life is too short' philosophy for a lot of things.

Some really quotes on here though

Those that mind don't matter and those that matter don't mind.

I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not.

Also am nearly always saying to DP 'Is it really an issue?'

Oh and 'don't fart above your arsehole' if someone is being a bit too arrogant (can't remember where I heard that though)

I like

Do as you would be done by

the best labour saving device is still money

Discretion is the better part of valour (meaning sometimes it is better to do nothing than to react)

The best revenge is living well

'Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.'

Is right!
