Machines are for breaking & plans are for changing.

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

No 'and then'

...

Fear the shorter or regret.

I'm short, fear me.

if you want to achieve nothing, form a committee

Live in spite of everything.

"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.

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

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

If it aint broke don't break it.

"Some days are just like that"

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

Always be prepared to be unprepared.

Be the change you want in the world.

"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."

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

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].

"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.

"You can't find the truth, you pick the lie you like best."

"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

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)

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

So no more running. I aim to misbehave.

Don't get paid in promises.

No murders. Everything else you can apologize for.

"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...
