One of my favourites :

"Don't miss the doughnut by looking through the hole"

That's actually quite profound. Me likey!

I like it, plus it mentions doughnuts in the sentence too, can't be bad! :P

The only bad doughnut is the one left uneaten.

ALL excellent thoughts!

Mine: Never pay retail, and always get what you want.

Follow up: Be careful what you wish for; you will surely get it!

(had a good giggle over that watching Pirates II this w/e when Cap'n Jack Sparrow's compass wouldn't point at what he "really" wanted with all his heart...)

I'm not sure if all of these qualify as a motto, but they are words to live by (or to die trying).

"We have met the enemy...and he is us."

"I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy."

"With friends like that...who needs enemies."

"Stupid is as stupid does."

"If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...it must be a damned duck."

"You can sh!t in one hand and wish in the other. See which one fills up first."

"People in hell want ice water."

"If pigs had wings...they'd fly."

"I'd never join an organization that would accept me as a member."

"Life's a b!tch and then you die."

"Payback is a motherf*cker."

"God looks out for drunks and fools."

"There's a sucker born every minute."

"A fool and his money is soon parted."

"Early to bed and early to rise, makes one healthy, wealthy, and wise." (A personal favorite)

;)

"Credibility in immigration policy can be summed up in one sentence: Those who should get in, get in; those who should be kept out, are kept out; and those who should not be here will be required to leave."

"...for the system to be credible, people actually have to be deported at the end of the process."

US Congresswoman Barbara Jordan (D-TX)

Testimony to the House Immigration Subcommittee, February 24, 1995

My Top 3.

Try telling that to the anti-Global Warming brigade.

It just so happens that I gave that motto to her.

Maybe I should give my motto.

Do whats right not what feels good.

1) If it bleeds, we can kill it!

2) Never trust a man with facial hair

3) Don't trust anything that bleeds for five days but doesn't die!

So if it is a man with facial hair that means not worth a trust at all?? :huh:

:rolleyes:

“People, like sheep, tend to follow a leader - occasionally in the right direction.”

-Alexander Chase

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies."

My guiding motto:

  1. If you don't want anybody to know, don't do it.
  2. The best remedy for anger is delay
  3. Learn from the mistakes of others, because you won't live long enough to make all of them.

"Live Free or Die" - the official motto of New Hampshire. It is probably the most well-known of all state mottos, partly because it speaks to an aggressive independence inherent in the American dream. I suppose that would be in contrast to "live under the skirt of the Queen".
