What motto do you live by?
 
I saw this one recently:

"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, cigar in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming, "WHO HOO, what a ride!"

My personal is:

"If you look for the good in a person or a situation, you will find it. The opposite is surely true."

Mrs. Brew and I have two:

"Live well, laugh often and love much."
"Life is Good!"

"Complain about nothing, blame no one, make things better"

I am a firm believer that in your life there is a balance of good and bad. So I truly feel that if you understand this concept you will better understand why one event must happen after another. There cannot be a winner without a loser and you cannot do something bad without understanding that something bad will happen to you.

Then again I'm just a kid thinking out loud. :D

So kinda like everything in and of itself is a zero sum game? Can't be all good, can't be all bad.

For many years:

Life is good, even the bad things are good.

And...

A little _____ (fill in the blank with almost anything) never killed anyone.

"Exercise gratitude each & every day of your life."

I have so much to be thankful for and it's easy to forget to be grateful each and every day of my life.

Take a moment each day to be thankful.

You'd be surprised how much it helps.

Do not despair that the rosebush has thorns; rather rejoice that the thornbush has roses.

I like the dialogue between Master Oogway and Shifu

Shifu: Master! I have... it's very bad news!
Oogway: Ah, Shifu. There is just news. There is no good or bad.
Shifu: Master, your vision. Your vision was right! Tai-Lung has broken out of prison! He's on his way!
[pause]
Oogway: That *is* bad news if you do not believe that the Dragon warrior can defeat Tai-Lung.

Yaaay Kung Fu Panda!

"My advice might be worth exactly what you pay for it"

"The unaimed arrow never misses"- I like this quote because it fits my lifestyle. I never liked to make goals because I am very hard on myself when I dont reach them. I like to live for today.

And also "Dum spiro, spero"- While I breathe, I hope. This one is pretty self-explanatory.

God Rarely walks you through the door. Sometimes he shows you the door, Sometimes its a window, sometimes, a hall way, Sometimes, a general location. From there you have to find the door. If you cant find the door, make a door, if you find the door locked, Break it down.

Basicly, Be responsible to yourself and never give up, but try to live justly
