What is your favorite motto??

[novalty]

"If you wish for peace, prepare for war." unknown

"You can wish in one hand and poop in the other and see which ones gets filled first." my father

"I used to be fast, now I'm just half-fast." father-in-law.

 

[moonclip]

"Friendly fire ain't."

And a few from Winston Churchill:

"If you're going through hell, keep going."

"An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last."

"The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter."

"I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle."

[CAJUNLAWYER]

No matter how well thought out-no battle plan survives the first skirmish (also works well for all you trial lawyers).
You can't make chicken salad out of chicken .....
10,000 people calling a chicken a duck doesn't make it a duck.
What doesn't kill you makes you drink.
and finally....
Quando Omni Flunkus Moritati (when all else fails, play dead)

 

[BE Mike]

Growing up, I often heard that in our family there is no such word as "can't".

Haven't seen this one, and I know everyone has heard it:

Kiss principal

Keep it simple stupid

 

[Rangerpat]

"Be careful of who's toes you step on today, they may be connected to the ass you have to kiss tomorrow."

 

[kraigwy]

SIN LOI (sorry about that)

CNTT KHÔNG NÓI KHÔNG (it don't mean nothing)

 

[ladder13]

The wisdom of man is foolishness in the eyes of the Lord.

 

[godlessgael]

i plan to live forever or die trying.

 

[Bullseye 2620]

[The Last Standing Knight]

"It's a chess piece. The most versatile on the board. It can move in eight different directions, over obstacles, and is always unexpected."
-Richard Boone as Paladin
Have Gun Will Travel

 

[Farmboy]

My personal credo..."leave late, drive fast, get there early"

[M29since14]

Surprised I haven't seen this one:
"Even a poorly conceived plan, executed with vigor and determination, is far better than no plan at all."
(trust me, folks- this one will usually carry the day)

I thought the ending to that one was, "... is better than a perfect plan executed one second too late."

Not a motto per se (just quips), but for Feralmerril and all of our resident pilot friends:

"Never let the airplane take you anywhere that your brain has not gone five minutes before."

"The propeller is a fan and its main job is keeping the pilot cool. You will notice when it quits running, the pilot immediately starts sweating."

"Helicopters don't really fly. They are just so ugly the Earth repels them."

But my favorite among those already listed, and depressingly true, is the immortal,

"NO GOOD DEED EVER GOES UNPUNISHED!"

 

[Mitch_D]

"Just because you can, don't mean you should."
"Don't ask me how I know."

I actually got to witness these two uttered together on Thanksgiving weekend. Just don't ask me & my buddy how we know.

 

[BLACKHAWKNJ]

"Three may keep a secret if two of them are dead" Poor Richard aka Ben Franklin.

 

[Ranger98]

"Never Argue With A Fool,A Bystander Can't Tell You Apart"

 

[feralmerril]

I dont know if I invented this or not, but I have always said; : You can tell what a man is like if you can find out who his heros are.

 

[viceunit]

" You have to be one percent smarter than the suit. "

What a co-worker said when booking in a difficult idiot prisoner who was being placed on suicide watch and could not figure out how to get into the paper suit.

It became our code for all successive morons.
