Doesn’t have to be a life motto. Any motto, for any application.

Mine is: “Fear is shorter than regret.”

    Pretty wise. That sounds like “don’t always trust authority figures”

      That is one component of it, but I like mine better because it also can be interpreted as giving a bit more grace to people who are doing their best but their best isn’t so good. It also helps me not assuming malicious intent where being an idiot would explain someone else’s behavior.
