Reminds me of a line out of a book, don't remember which one, but it was along the lines of 'if you can't say yes, then answer anyway, because I'd rather die with the answer than live with the question'
No murders. Everything else you can apologize for.
"Schlimmer geht immer"
It can always be worse.
Not really my motto but a phrase I find myself thinking often in the last couple months.

So no more running. I aim to misbehave.
"Give them a hand and they'll want the arm."
In other words while it's okay to help people you need to be careful and impose some limits here and there, as people are naturally greedy and will burden you for their own benefit.

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.
"Life is simultaneously too large and small, it is not worth spending time planning it"
You can't change the past and can't control the present. Deal with the future.
“Fuck it.”
I do say this a lot, so I guess this motto.
Everything is temporary
Conversely, nothing is permanent
Every day, in every way, I improve myself
Live hard, die young, and leave a beautiful corpse
I can probably take care of the first two but my ugly ass can't handle the 3rd

"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.
"Kills bugs dead."
"Will this matter in 6 months?" If not, don't waste your mental energy on it.
What me worry?
Don't get paid in promises.
Keep on keepin' on...
In your deathbed you'll regret more the things you didn't do than what you did
Take it sleazy! Maximum effort all the time has only ever gotten me exhausted and useless. Save your strength for when you need it.
(at least, that works for me)

anything you know could be wrong
You do the best you can with what you've got.
Jack of all trades, master of one.
Live fast eat ass
Safety first.
It's boring, and not good advice for living a life or making big decisions, but in the day-to-day it reminds me to be careful.
