If you will not serve in combat then you will serve on the firing line!
Well, off to visit your mother!

the only motto that I have actually liked more than a casual interest in it afterward is this quote by Groucho Marx.
"Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Forget Yesterday- Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day- Today. I'm going to be happy in it."
that and my Grandma still uses the saying
"För Sverige- i tiden" meaning "For Sweden- with the Times"

It's easy to get bored of being human, which is why it helps to remember that every human is technically half-minotaur. http://rockpapercynic.com/index.php?date=2009-11-30
And here's one I live by: The truth will set you free, whether you like it or not.

I see a few motto's and a lot of geeky movie or game quotes. Most of them would not help you in real life.
My favorite ones on leadership (good for management):
- never explain, never complain
- We will either find a way, or make one (Hannibal)
- I never saw a pessimistic general win a battle (Eisenhower)
- You know what's at the bottom of the mainstream? Mediocrity (Visconte)
- ask yourself, ?How bad will things be if I DON?T do it??

"If you see something move, shoot it. If it screams in German, shoot it again" - Before rushing into a smokescreened area in Brothers in Arms
"Don't be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark, and that a group of proffessionals built the Titanic" - Can't remember where I saw this first, but I live by it =P
"When in doubt, empty the magazine" - From MW2 boot camp achievments =P

I don't actually have one, but if I'm asked what it might be I always say this.
"No problem is so big or so complicated that it can't be run away from."
It's from Peanuts... how surprising.
