"I like my cigar, but I have to take it out of my mouth every once in awhile."
It's a quote by George Burns, but I like it as a motto.

Sorry, Min., I can't help myself here. If you look at the whole character of Polonius in the play then his lines above are meaningless. The man "used" his own daughter's affections to ass-kiss the king. All villains are true to themselves and very false to others. P.

One which I've just used this minute is a good one: "It's pointless trying to make something foolproof. Every time you try, someone out there goes and builds a bigger and better fool."
However my favourite (and my personal maxim): Experientia docet sultos - Experience teaches fools.
Quidquid latines dicit, audere profundem est.
That which is said in Latin sounds profound.
(Yes, I know that's incorrect Latin. I've forgotten the exact form of it so have had to rely on my appalling knowledge of the language to fill in the gaps. Anyone correct me?)

I'm glad then. Sorry for being nitpicky about the bard. P.minsue said:I agree with you completely about Polonius and always find his, erm, exit from the play quite satisfying. It doesn't keep me from finding personal meaning in the lines, though.

Loulou, it's all small stuff.
Exactly! Took me a while to realise that, though.
Well, some of it isn't.

I'm with Cloudy.
Live and let live.
Not only a motto, but words I live by. It keeps me sane.

But what exactly does that mean. I get the gist of it, but most people don't go around killing others anyway.
Serious question, btw: what does that motto mean to you?

P.S. Joe, is that because they fit inside your ears?
