My current mantra is that sometimes we need teachers in our lives. I never had that in my life, parents and stuff like that; I tried to stay on the outside of them or anybody that had that kind of influence.

If anyone listens to the mantra that Brad Stevens seems to live by, which is to keep making that next right play, Gordon Hayward seems to be that guy.
I’m not saying that comedy has to be a certain thing – I’m not trying to define comedy, where it’s like, it can only be silly things. But I think part of what makes a comedy is that at least part of the mantra of the show is trying to make people laugh.
Several years ago, I had the words ‘let the music set you free’ tattooed behind my left ear, as it really is my mantra for life.

‘Throw the losses away.’ The family mantra.
I am not a vegetarian. I subscribe to my own mantra: eat less, move more, eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, don’t eat too much junk food, and enjoy what you eat. Or, to summarise: eat less, eat better, move more, and get political.

My mantra is: Let there be happiness in my soul, and let me share it with the world.
The business of being told to earn a dollar, that no one is going to give you anything – that was kind of my mantra throughout my childhood, and now it’s in my adult life. I find that people really tend to relate to the immigrant father, whether he be Italian, Greek, Spanish or whatever.
I have been absolutely clear where I’m coming from about health care reform. This is something this nation has to do and a robust public option has been the mantra of my campaign from the very outset.
So it – we have one enduring, uh, idea that will always live on with the Smothers Brothers, that ‘Mom always liked you best.’ We’re the universal, uh, feeling that every child, every sibling has had somewhere along the line. Or, ‘Who did she like best?’ And that became kind of a little mantra.
The mantra for the Obama campaign and their surrogates has focused on one thing regarding race, which is to take every opportunity to depict the Republican Party a group of rich white racists.

Whenever I go on the red carpet and I’m a bit nervous, I just say to myself the mantra, ‘Come on Barbara, you gotta get those pictures posted on Instagram!’ That’s all I have in my mind, like, ‘Look serious now, maybe give a little smile, but a cheeky one,’ but in the end, it’s never how it looks.
I think the most important mantra in my life has been and will continue to be – patience, hard work and will power.

Being disciplined and determined are my fitness mantra.
Speaking my truth. I think that’s the number one thing, man. That’s my 2018 mantra. Speak your truth, because you hold all that in, it’s going to destroy you.
The mantra from the Obama State Department is ‘smart power’ – the not-so-new idea that all elements of national power should be utilized to influence other countries.
My eating mantra is, you should eat what your ancestors ate. It’s true that the quality of vegetables, fruits and meat is of no comparison from then to now, but in principle the staple is easily digestible if it was part of your evolution lineage.
I think you hear, at least as an undertone, and it’s going to grow louder, is that we believe that capitalism is the mantra of the day and anything that creeps towards socialism is a problem.

Your work should do the talking and define who you are. That’s the mantra I follow.
The ego always needs to be ‘doing,’ and repeating a mantra guides my mind to a deeper, less active experience.
That’s what Stay Hyped is all about, is ‘I can go when others can’t, I won’t tap out when others will.’ It’s kind of just living my mantra.
My mantra is, ‘Don’t be afraid of color.’ What did it do to you? Do a color testing in alternate kinds of light you desire in the room because the pigment will change. And I refuse to believe that pale pale or white colors in a small room will buy you more square footage. Go with color all the way.
