NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

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)

"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.

"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.
If you're the smartest person in the room, then you're in the wrong room.
"Kills bugs dead."
"Will this matter in 6 months?" If not, don't waste your mental energy on 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.
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

Any man can grab a tiger by it's balls, but it takes a real man to squeeze.
So no more running. I aim to misbehave.
Everything is temporary
Conversely, nothing is permanent
"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.

"Life is simultaneously too large and small, it is not worth spending time planning it"
Don't get paid in promises.
Dont break the weekend rules
- Do NOT add to the population
- Do NOT subtract from the population
- Do not ever do anything that will have you end up in the newspaper, hospital or jail.
-
- If you do end up in jail, establish dominance quickly.
Also dont do anything you would be afraid to explain to the paramedics.
Never be afraid of paramedics, they aren't there to rat you out. They just want to know what they need to do to make you better/not worse. They hate paperwork as much as anyone, and a dead patient is a ton of paperwork.

"Don't give a shit."
anything you know could be wrong
I have one but I'll tell ya later.
my motto is 'im otto, i came to get blotto"
Life's too serious for me to take it seriously.
If you don't know why, somebody else does.
Too strange to live, too rare to die by HST.
Sums up my life pretty well.
Jack of all trades, master of one.
Probably something like "It's probably not as bad as you think" which applies to people, situations, difficulty of talks and a lot other stuff.
