Main focus is remain focused
Be kind.
Everything is relative.
“Anything for a weird life.”
Said by Zaphod Beeblebrox in the original radio version of The Hitch-Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy in response to being led by another character into the zany peril of the moment.
“Your rights end where another’s begin.”
A nicely summarized mantra to push back on the paradox of tolerance. Many people use free speech, free market, etc, as an excuse to impede others, and this is my response to that.
There’s a version of that one I like which goes something like, “your right to swing your fist ends where my nose begins.”
“It’s better to fart into the toilet than to shit into your pants.”
One of my own making after a particularly bad gut bug.
As my father used to say “Don’t do two crimes at the same time”
Yup. I watch a bunch of cop videos catching smugglers on highways. The fool or fools driving always smoked weed in the car. Such a stupid thing. And it’s always a rental.
Consider that the publishers of those videos have a vested interest in showing you the ones that make the suspects look the most stupid. The cops get to click delete on the ones showing them harassing innocent people and/or otherwise looking foolish themselves.
I’ve been plenty of videos of cops being complete abusive dumbasses, but you’re not wrong about them destroying the most damning evidence.

Motivation is not required
As a disabled person who’s spent most of her life in abusive relationships if I waited for motivation to get things done I’d be long since dead
My grandfather (who died well before my time), but I picked up the saying from my mum;
“Pray to God, but row to shore”
My sister gave me the following to bring me up from the depths of despair, and to bring me back to earth before I make an Icarus of myself:
“This too shall pass”
The golden rule. If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.
What about: “you have food stuck in your teeth”?
“if you comment on someone’s appearance and it would take them more than 5min to fix, you’re an asshole. If it would take less than that, you’re helping them.”
Other ones I have:
-egos trip. But the humble doesn’t stumble.
-if you’re not talking income, then walking outs the outcome
-talk to me nice. Or don’t talk to me twice.
-Minor setback for a major get back
-the reasons change like seasons change.
Leave it better than you found it

1: It’s weird to not be weird
2: Hate only the hateful
3: Be intolerant of intolerance
