Finding Credo

"Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" - I wish that was my credo. But fortunately AC/DC nicked it for their 1981 album with the same name. So my search for a powerful credo goes on.

The credo I'm looking for is very much like a motto but stronger and with more oumpfh. Motto is what Boy Scouts have ("Be Prepared."), Olympians ("Citius, Altius, Fortius" => Faster, Higher, Braver), James Bond ("The World Is Not Enough") or Obelix ("Ils sont fous ces Romains!" => These Romans are crazy!).

A motto is a simple statement to live by while credo is a statement to die for. A motte is more generous while a credo is definite. A credo is a strong personal mission statement in just a few simple words.

Nike's "Just Do It!" is a great credo. Powerful. Genial. Probably the best one out there. I'm looking for something like that but with a tad more arrogance.

END - Part I.
