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
"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.

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)

You can't change the past and can't control the present. Deal with the future.
“Fuck it.”
I do say this a lot, so I guess this motto.
That's the motto (Mhm) Drop a few bills and pop a few champagne bottles (Mhm) Throwin' that money like you just won the lotto (Mhm)

JK. In all seriousness, I don't really have one XD.
Every day, in every way, I improve myself
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.

"Life is simultaneously too large and small, it is not worth spending time planning it"
If you're the smartest person in the room, then you're in the wrong room.
"You can't find the truth, you pick the lie you like best."
What's wrong with "I don't know"?
Any man can grab a tiger by it's balls, but it takes a real man to squeeze.
"Kills bugs dead."
Live hard, die young, and leave a beautiful corpse
I can probably take care of the first two but my ugly ass can't handle the 3rd

So no more running. I aim to misbehave.
"Will this matter in 6 months?" If not, don't waste your mental energy on it.
Don't get paid in promises.
"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.
MacGyver something everyday.
You do the best you can with what you've got.
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.
All progress is progress
