★Your motto. Your favorite phrase.★

Yes, basically that's what it means. Don Rickles was an insult comic, and this was only one of the things he used to yell at people. He's hilarious.

 

"IF YOU CAN TAKE IT, YOU CAN MAKE IT."

It's sweet and simple. I mutter this under my breath every time my anxiety kicks in but I have to do something important.

 

I apologize, my phrase doesn’t really mean anything or to be taken seriously. Its just a popular quote in a Star Trek show. So I will leave you with this one instead. It’s a quote from a book called The Sword of Truth. It isn’t really my motto but it’s still a good thing to aim for.

"Oh, but how I do love it when men I respect marry smart women. Nothing marks a man's character better than his attraction to intelligence."

 

Something like that, but it's more like "I'm about to take on something extremely terrible. This will definitely be disheartening and this will definitely instill tremendous fear within me because I have probably never done something like this before or I'm not prepared to take on this task, but I know that if I'm alive afterwards, then I have become much, much stronger and this means I am slightly less fearful than before I put myself through it."

Sorry, that was long and winded, but it's a phrase that has gotten me through some seriously bad situations by myself with no outside help.

 

If it’s for the best
It’ll manifest

 

Physician, heal thyself - medice, cure te ipsum: it's a Latin proverb (goes back to Greek times I think), and like Latin it can carry various meanings. Imagine a sick doctor, who wants to give you a prescription. He says what you should do, but he doesn't seem trustful, because he's sick too. It's like saying 'do something with yourself first, before telling me what to do'. It can go deeper, but that's the gist of it.

I also like saying jokingly 'dura lex sed lex' ('tough law but still a law') when there're harsh, but logical rules I have to follow. I also like 'o tempora! o mores!' also used jokingly to say 'what (crazy/stupid/funny) times! what (crazy/stupid/funny) morals nowadays!'

They depend on context.

 

we are into same boat.

 

Mine...
It's from a Queen song...

LIFE STILL GOES ON...

 

Didn’t know manifest was a political word in Japan. The more you know*

 

"WORK HARD
PLAY HARDER"

 

Agree with you on this... Too true!
