“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.” [b]Theodore Roosevelt[/b]

I wish I'd listened to Mr Waits when he said "Never trust a man in a blue trench coat". I didn't and got shafted.
"noli illegitemi te carborundum" is always good advice as is "aut dure aut domum'"* which was mentioned upthread.
* a motto's no good if it's not in an obscure, dead language. Which reminds of another good one: "latin's an ancient language, as dead as dead can be. It killed the ancient Romans and now it's killing me"
But my mantra is "It's only impossible if you stop and think about it"
The man who never made a mistake never made anything
Don't complain about the results you didn't get with the work you didn't do.
Treat others in a way you expect to be treated yourself.
Don't ask others to do something that you are not prepared to do yourself.
