1) Say what you mean, mean what you say.
2) Never, EVER take advantage of anyone. To me, the most disgusting thing anyone can do is abuse their power over another.

Mine change a lot... lately I've been using "per ardua" (through hardship or difficulty) which is in my matrilineal lineage.

Life goes on
treat others the way you want to be treated.

For years, mine has been the Buddhist quote, "fall down seven times, get up eight".

I'm phasing this out now, although it has served me well. I used to "fall down" much more often, and even though I expect to continue, to a certain degree, I don't need to invoke it, do I?

For now: All change comes to me with greater ease and more consciousness. (Which is more of an incantation than a motto, but it works.)
