Your Mottos!

[Klington]

A long time ago before Taco Island, I created a thread called "Your Mottos!" and many people thought of it as a generally good thread, so here I am restarting it.
To play just simply post your motto and what it means.

My motto:
A warrior is sharper than his sword.
It means that a warrior must practice and train every day all the time, so that he will skill in battle. So his skill is sharp, sharper than his sword.

[Re-Yupanqui]

Well, I change mine a lot... however, currently it's:

Why is it called *common* sense if no one has it?

I believe it's rather self explanetory...

[Alfonia]

Well my sig here on the forum is of course the stop turning the pages thing. I have it because my avatar is a book, if you did not notice.

However, the official Alfonian motto is "Läderkläder som luktar fläder", it comes from a stupid haiku I made up some time ago:

"Läderkläder som
luktar fläder skyddar bra
mot dåligt väder"

The translation would be:
"Leatherclothing that smells of elder offers good protection from bad weather" - a thing that I find to be very true.

[New Dracora]

Hmm...

My motto is: "Breaking all boundries".

What does it mean? - Hell I don't know, I only picked it because I thought it sounded cool at the time.

Yeah...

[Boolari]

"The future changes even as we begin to live it."

I got that out of a book called 'Fire Angels' by Jane Routley.

Basically, I'd like to know certain things that pertain to the future. However, I know this is impossible because things change - including the environment, situation involved, and the people... including me!

I have a lot more, like Yups said about herself, this is just the one that applies most right now. ;D

In cavda venenvm

if i remember correctly, it means the sting is in the tail, or something along those lines

[Crackenback]

My motto WAS "Why do today what you can put off till tomorrow?" cos I was too lazy to think of anything else

I recently changed it to "Carpé Diem" - Sieze The Day

[Latin : carpe, seize + diem, day.]

Used as an admonition to seize the pleasures of the moment without concern for the future.


I chose this motto for two reasons. One - I dont like to let opportunities go ...... And Two, I'm a huge metallica fan They did a song on their "Reload" album called "Carpe Diem Baby"

NS Motto - Music is the soul of the nation.

Doesn't need much explanation, I hope?

Craic agus Ceol = fun and music. A common motto for Irish pubs.

[Henneth annun]

"Free your mind cuase your ass aint going anywhere..."
An old prision proverb...

Haha, talk about a 180 turn...

[Bonaduce Alander]

My nations motto used to be "It was the Opressed People of Tia Si Mao"
That nation just "happened" to be my brother until he just stopped bothering with it.
I then changed it too,
"We don't like other people. Nation Policy."
That was because the report thing siad that my people tend to view other more rich countrys as evil. Or something like that.

[New Age Guilds]

well underneath my avater it ids workers of the world unite- thats the socalist workers party motto. in my signature it is just some random stuff i made up+ a quote from 1984, by george orwell

[Re-Yupanqui]

My under-avatar motto is "Why a duck? Because a motorcycle has no doors"

This should be just as self-explanetory, of course

[Greek People Nation (GPN)]

My Motto is: VOTE REPUBLICAN

[Parthini]

My Motto is: ARRRR!!!!

Self Expanatory

GPP

[Re-Yupanqui]

Wow, if people think of people as their avatars, then does that mean you're a monkey who regrows his hat then throws it?

[FThomason]

My Motto is:

You win respect by deserving it; not by demanding it.

[Greek People Nation (GPN)]

I always like to say when people are mad:


Forgive your enimies but never forget their names. -JFK-

[TheSensitiveNewAge]

"Obey Nick, and all will be good." -first
"Sensitivity or Death!" -play on Cuba's "Socialism or Death!"
"Sensitivity for all!" -current, stranger friendly
"Todo el pueblo sin el pueblo" future one, it means all for the people without the people

[Hockeynutville]

Can't quite remember where I heard this but always makes me chuckle: More tears, more beers man, that's it, that's all.

[Shmerol]

Mine is "Power to the Penguins". Why? Because Penguins rule!

[TheSensitiveNewAge]

Yeah, an Emperor Penguin could probably take on Darth Vader.

Sorry, wierd joke from my friends in town.

[Newer Oxford]

Are you switching letters around on purpose, or accident? Weird, darth... is it part of the joke? Because I am not getting it...

löl

[Shmerol]

neither am i..But i do get that penguins kick butt!!

[Shmerol]

You'd never guess, but penguins are my favourite animals.....

[Newer Oxford]

Really? I thought you just liked Linux.

[TheSensitiveNewAge]

*rolls eyes

Nooo...

Note, I just used Mod powers to edit without a trace, you guys aren't going crazy(ier).

[Newer Oxford]

Haha, but I never saw what you posted to begin with, so I would never have known unless you said that...

[TheSensitiveNewAge]

Then that may be an abuse of power.

And no fun whatsoever.

[Mandrill]

..........alright already!.......getting back to the motto's and what not, hehe.....

My motto at the moment is: "I don't feel like the sharpest button on the beach today.."
Purty self-explanitory, I guess.
