Doesn’t have to be a life motto. Any motto, for any application.

Mine is: “Fear is shorter than regret.”

    Batman in an interrogation room pins joker to the wall.

    Batman: “I’ve only got one rule”

    Joker: “Then that’s the rule you’re gonna have to break to get what you want”.

    Now I hate Marvell and all super hero movies but I do find that quote applies to a lot of things. You cant be a pacifist and have free and fair elections, or have open boarders and socialism, or have high tax or no tax, or strict policing or lax policing or whatever. Whatever you say is a law, or a line is something that people will exploit.
