What's your motto?

  1. ...This question makes me think at the Gialappa's Band...!Whatever,I don't have a motto, but if I should have one,may be "Why to put off at tomorrow that you could make today?",because sometimes I am a bit lazy...

  2. "Live as if you were to die tomorrow".
    Is this the reason why I'm not able to save money...?

  4. I haven't a motto but there is a sentence of a song by Baglioni that I repeat often: "you'll have your time for go away, you'll walk forgetting and you'll stop dreaming"

  7. Still, you've answered it well, Adry. ("think of..."; "Maybe 'Don't put off till tomorrow what you can do today!'")

    Very possibly, Aleph!

    I shall look forward to hearing what you come up with, Maria. ("I have not got a motto. Now I'm going to have to think one up")


    I don't know the song, Francesca, but I have suggested a possible alternative to your translation. ("there is a line from a song by Baglioni that I often quote: 'you'll have your time to go away, you'll walk your way oblivious and your dreams will end'").

    Wow, Stefania! When I said your English was perfect yesterday, I didn't think you'd switch to Latin. Or wheel in the Venerable Bede...

    A noble sentiment, Daniela!

  8. I have two "motti". One is in Latin "festina lente" that means "slowly hurry up" and the other I read in a book "La ragazza delle arance" by Jostein Gaarder is " Who can't live now, will ever not live. And you, what do you do?"
