Ask Lemmy

Never break more than one law at a time.

Mind your own buisness.

I don't care about other peoples sexuality, gender fetishes, whatever. Its not my buisness and I have no right to judge them for their decision. You do you. As long as people aren't assholes or annoying as hell I don't care.

"you can fix dumb, but you can't fix lazy"

If you don't know, I can teach you. If you just don't want to learn, well that's a different story

I discovered this one just yesterday, reading a Nero Wolfe detective novel. I kind of like it:

The avoidance of idiocy should be the primary and constant concern of every intelligent person. It is mine. I am sometimes successful.

good enough is good enough

Everything is temporary

Don't craft a well thought out response to someone John Brown would have shot [absolutely necessary for getting through the internet] and don't give two weeks notice to a job that makes you miserable [absolutely necessary for leaving a shitty work situation].

"Different strokes for different folks."

It's a reminder that your preferences aren't the only acceptable way to feel. It's OK if some people like things you don't. On different scales, it's a lesson in tolerance.

It goes hand-in-hand with "Be excellent to each other." Kindness goes far!

Together I hope someday they lead to "Harmony and understanding, sympathy and trust abounding."

Be the change you want in the world.

Fear the shorter or regret.

I'm short, fear me.

Always be prepared to be unprepared.

When I die, I hope to be surprised. It’s Oscar Wilde.

Just barely good enough is perfect.

Machines are for breaking & plans are for changing.

You can drive the schedule or the budget - not both.

No 'and then'

...

Live in spite of everything.

"And there's a funny thing about honesty; there's no two ways about it."

This quote from Lassie Come-Home comes up whenever I'm not sure if I should be honest about something bad that I've done. It's a pretty good motto.

That, and "Smile, tomorrow will be worse."

"Don't stop dreaming, because the world is full of people who've stopped dreaming."

Probably no one said that, it's just what reminds me on so many things at once. It's so full of hope, confidence, happiness, interest into new things, overcoming obstacles, the future, laying off the monotone, enjoyment, pushing yourself further. I could interpret and fill so much into this. It also has a little bit of superiority in it, but that's because I often suffer under the negative Nancys and people who have given up, who try their best to drag you down.

For food safety: When in doubt, throw it out.

"Some days are just like that"

“You will die soon, keep doing cool shit”

If it aint broke don't break it.

There is no such thing as an easy job if you are passionate enough.

If it's not going to matter on your deathbed it doesn't really matter.

That's the motto (Mhm) Drop a few bills and pop a few champagne bottles (Mhm) Throwin' that money like you just won the lotto (Mhm)

• tiesto & ava max

JK. In all seriousness, I don't really have one XD.

What me worry?

In your deathbed you'll regret more the things you didn't do than what you did

Every day, in every way, I improve myself

"Life is simultaneously too large and small, it is not worth spending time planning it"

"If you don't want life you fuck you, be a dick, not an asshole" /J

I don't actually have a life motto, but I do like hearing other people's. I'll find one that jives with me eventually, till then I survive.

Everything is temporary

Conversely, nothing is permanent

"I'm just a monkey lookin' at a monolith." said in the strong southern drawl possible.

Very good for technical situations where I'm stumped.

Keep on keepin' on...

I'd rather have the ugly truth than pretty lies.

Any man can grab a tiger by it's balls, but it takes a real man to squeeze.
