– What’s a motto?
– Nothin’, what the motto with you?

“If your not going hard enough, go home”

More by luck than judgement.

What is your motto?

We are maggots!

‘A man who say’s no to champagne says no to life!’

Ne Parcas Nec Spernas (neither spare nor despise) and can trace our family tree back to the Dunoon massacre of 1646 where my great,great,great,great,great,great,great,great,great great,great,great,great,great grandfather who was a clan chief was hung from a tree and then buried alive, we tried to trace it further back but records were a bit patchy and unreliable, i do like our clan motto and the clan house, ardlamont although smallish would do me fine. Our lands used to encompass the Cowal peninsula and i spent a month wi a tent and bike exploring them a few years ago which was a strange experience knowing my ancestors lived there and roamed the land, i found the ruins of my great* grandfathers house….a strange wild place that gave me the heebie jeebies but i guess that was from knowing the history of what went on.

Old enough to know better, young enough to try.

“Talk to someone who’s had a sh1t”

“It’s hard to be optimistic with a misty optic”

‘No pain, no pain’

Our house motto in the last year of uni was “Live like kings, die like pigs!” Not sure I’ve ever really moved on…

Work will set you free.
Although I am getting some funny looks from my neighbors since I had it put on my front gate 🙂

Do you live in Poland, or is your sign in German by any chance, stewartc?

Hate regrets more than apologies

“If I am fool, it is, at least, a doubting one; and I envy no one the certainty of his self-approved wisdom.” – Byron

Because I don’t really at hear believe in anything I say myself (Intellectually I’m a complete mercenary) and I view the world with increasing levels of absurdity.

Work will set you free.

We used to have a completely psycho middle aged female German teacher at school… who would come in dressed in black leather jackets, black high heels, black scarf, black trousers etc….and scream at pupils in German like Adolf Hitler. Total slave driver as well, she’d march up and down the class like a drill instructor.

We put a plaque over the entry to her office that read “Arbeit Macht Frei”. She totally deserved that little bit of casual racism for dressing like an extra from a 1970’s Nazi exploitation film.

Somehow I got away with telling her to go **** herself, answering every one of her German language questions with an offensive or sarcastic response (in German) and going truant during every German lesson – the school finally gave up and I just went to the band room to play the piano during her lessons. Truly hated her.

Good times.

Better to be a tiger for one day than a sheep for a thousand years

“Fortune favours the brave”

“It’ll be alreet”

“You want to watch that, it’ll have your eye out”

Do as you want to be done by.

*post reported*

try to enjoy life

Mindfulness, acceptance and attitude – not necessarily in that order!

“If WD-40 and a Hammer doesn’t fix it, you have an electrical problem”

or in all seriousness, “Every days a school day”

“You should regret the things you have done not the things you haven’t done”

“It’s your round”

This has prompted me to look up the family motto which is Vive ut vivas it supposedly means Live that you may live forever. I like it

“It was like that when I got here”

“That’ll be my fault then.”

Fabricati Diem, Pvnc.

(I actually have 3 that I try to use in daily life).

Treat others how you’d like to be treated yourself.

See a problem – Fix it.

Measure twice, cut once. ( not literally just to do with cutting stuff).

Here’s one our Latin teacher taught us as kids,

Illegitimi non carborundum , which roughly translates as “Don’t let the bastards grind you down”

For the pedants amongst you i realise that it is not strictly a legitimate latin phrase due to the non gerundive “carborundum” but it sounds good and is one of the few interesting Latin phrases that i remember apart from the boring ones.

clarum et Deus eos omnes occidere…

If somebody tells you not too, definitely do it!

You’re a long time dead.

Fide et Fortitudine (Faith and Fortitude)

Old squadron (TCW) motto is “Ubique Loquimur” which translates to “We Speak Everywhere”.
So applying that to sad track would come out as “Veho undique”, ride everywhere.

IGMC.

Nil Mortifi Sine Lucre.

Work to live, don’t live to work.
and…
Fk work before it fks you.

I like work 😉

“Too blessed to be stressed”

‘Chickens never win!’

Taken from my boss, if I ever think about not doing something I just hear his voice shouting this at me and end up going for it, whatever it is!
