"You can never have too many mottos!" has always worked for me, but what I try to live by is "When life gives you lemons, make lemon 'nades." It's so... I don't know, but I just like it. :D Thank you Cave Johnsson!

I already have a motto and spout it to my team at the very beginning of every match.

"Live Forever Cats"

Fling enough shit at a wall and some of it's going to stick.

Keeping trying no matter how hard you fail and how much you suck at something, eventually something will stick in your mind and you will get better.

Always use the right tool for the job.
The right tool for the job is always a hammer.
Any tool can be used as a hammer.

I hope this doesn't sound racist or anything but are you Scandinavian by any chance? Sounds quite Nordic. I like it by the way.

I live by the phrase "Carpe Diem".
For those who don't know what that means, it simply means Sieze the Day.
If you see an opportunity, take it. You cannot expect life to just give you things, you have to take them.

My most memorable use of the phrase was when I whispered it to myself moments before asking my first girlfriend out. When ever I feel nervous, hearing the words Carpe Diem just remind me that you get nothing for sitting on your ass, go out there and try.
That day was most certainly siezed.

If you can, go give this film a watch, its brilliant.

Hmm, motto, motto, motto...

EDIT: Or 'there's always a chance [doctor], as long as one can think.'

"I live! Dickheads!"- Ricardo Diaz GTA Vice City

Everytime I survive something I shouldn't have in game or get through a tough spot on the real world.

Series: Reboot
Character: Fong
"I will fight you to the last!"
It's not a declaration of victory or some smug snide "I'm better than you" crap that rubs me the wrong way. It's simply a stubborn refusal to give up, even against hopeless odds. Even when finaly defeated with no hope of rescue fong continued to fight until the last...

Quote: Me
"If we can't kill em with our bullets, then we'll bury them with our shells!"

Series: Hellboy
Character: Grigori Rasputin
"Dream of fire"

And finaly
"Real men carry swords bigger than they are"

"When the going gets tough, I'm going."

Yeah...got me some nasty avoidance-issues. :p

Or maybe something a bit more positive:

It could always be worse, so just smile! =D

It doesn't.

I actually have mostly Irish ancestry with a bit of Scottish and English. Though I might have some Scandinavian ancestors considering they did trade with and invade parts of Ireland, but I don't know.

I like it by the way.
So do I, though it is my family's motto so I'm biased.

Since I came up with it myself, I'm not going to put quotes on it: Give persons a chance, but assume people are shit.

Unrelated: Toyota's special offers can kiss my ass.
