Wiemy Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Not sure if this has been done, but if any of you have a motto, quote, poem, ethos, etc. that you try to live by, post it here. I'll start with mine: So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide. Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, even a stranger, when in a lonely place. Show respect to all people and grovel to none. When you arise in the morning give thanks for the food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself. Abuse no one and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision. When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home. -Chief Tecumseh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cucked Alex Jones Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hircine ☠ Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 “make a radical change in your lifestyle and begin to boldly do things which you may previously never have thought of doing, or been too hesitant to attempt. So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservation, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun. If you want to get more out of life, you must lose your inclination for monotonous security and adopt a helter-skelter style of life that will at first appear to you to be crazy. But once you become accustomed to such a life you will see its full meaning and its incredible beauty.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Dildo Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I don't really have a life motto. but if I had to pick something, I would probably go with the ancient Latin saying "Aut inveniam viam aut faciam." roughly translated this means "Either I shall find a way, or I shall make one." that or "Carpe Diem;" which means "Seize the day." keep it simple.
