I like to borrow my quote-to-live-by from the keyboard player for Spinal Tap. He said, “have a good time, all the time.”
No… sorry, I can’t back that up. I’m full of it. I don’t live my life that way. I more live my life by a quote from the drummer from Spinal Tap. He said, “the law of averages says you will survive.” Actually, Marty DiBergi said that, not the drummer. He said it to the drummer and the drummer agreed… and then shortly after the drummer exploded on stage.
So that might not be a good quote to live by either.
Google used to have a good quote and I would like to say I try to live my life by it, even if Google does not. Google said, “don’t be evil.” I would expect most of us could live by that pretty successfully without much effort, but if that is the case how does one explain the maga cult and the rise of fascism worldwide? That’s the exact opposite of don’t be evil. That’s a bunch of psychotics embracing evil and being as evil as humanly possible all day long.
Crap.
I guess I don’t really have a quote to live my life by. I love my wife and I love my kids and I love my family and I love my friends and I try to be a good employee and a good supervisor and I try to play the guitar as much as possible and I try to embrace the chaos that is the occasional run-on sentence.
Other than that… I guess… have a good time all the time.
Inside the Red Head's Head 
I’ll buy that.

Google’s one seems a bit, um, not followed by them. Maybe they left out the punctuation. They had been brainstorming how to make the world a better place and decided “Don’t. Be evil”!
And like technically, in the long run, the law of averages say you won’t survive – the death rate has stayed constant at 100% since time began! (sorry to be a downer – it just shows why we should try and be nice and enjoy life)

Google’s don’t be evil company motto was accurate for a while, but the bigger they got the harder it was to not be terrible. Now they are just as evil as all of the other gigantic companies. Unfortunately.

Mine is something I heard George Harrison say, back in the early days: ”Live and let live.” There’s also John Lennon’s “Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans” but I think the Harrison one is more appropriate.
