What is your motto? (lemmy.world)

Doesn't have to be a life motto. Any motto, for any application.

Mine is: "Fear is shorter than regret."

I rotate through these for everything from physical training to career goals to reminding myself to do my best to not be a douchebag:

“If I give up now, I’m going to regret it.” -Monkey D. Luffy

"Where's the future? Right here. Whose life is this? Mine. What are you gonna do with it? Live it by any means necessary." -Jefferson Pierce

"If you wanna stop this, then stand up! Because I've got one thing to say to you! Never forget who you want to become!" -Shoto Todoroki

"Waste no more time arguing what a good man should be. Be one." -Marcus Aurelius

"Giving help that's not asked for is what makes a true hero." -Izuku Midoriya

“I’ve set myself to become the King of the Pirates… and if I die trying… then at least I tried.” -Monkey D. Luffy

"If every porkchop were perfect, we wouldn't have hot dogs." -Steven Universe
