Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for February 19, 2024

I forgot my mantra.

That’s the trouble with trying to take on the world: it’s bigger than you.

Your troubles will still get your there Pig.

Wait until you have to deal with your womantra.

“Pack up all your cares and woes”, Pig! Or something like that!

My mantra is, every morning I wake up is a good morning.

I wish I had a Manta. Nice 80s sports car. Oh, wait, I think I read that one wrong.

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away.

My mantra is to abhor and ignore any of my mantras!

Eh me mantra early morning is “Me hungry. Needs foods.”

And it same mantra for remaining times of the day.

For me, it’s just a day that ends in Y.

I do not know what a " mantra " is : ( ?

He should pack them up in his old kit bag….

Every day does feel like a fresh start….

Mine is " What do I WANT to do today, after I do everything I HAVE to do today?"

Best mantra: “I reserve the right to remain in bed!”

Don’t sweat the small stuff — It’s all small stuff. Alfred E. Neuman would say, “What, me worry?”

My mantra in the morning: “Five more minutes. Please.”

Wake up, get out of bed, go to the bathroom, in that order.

Flexibility is a nice virtue to have.

I stole mine from a book from years ago. Might have been “Castle Keep”, but it was quoted in the book. It’s part of a poem “Invictus” by Wm Henley

“Out of the night that covers me,

Black as the pit from pole to pole.

I thank whatever gods may be

For my unconquerable soul."

My mantra is if it’s too important for someone on my team to decide it must be important enough for my boss to decide.

My mantra is to get up in the morning and work hard until noon. And then I sleep till noon… :D

I stick with one my mom told me recently – “You don’t gotta wanna do something, but you gotta do it just the same.” Sometimes stuff genuinely sucks, and it’s ok to acknowledge that!

Like a mantra ray?

I have no mantra.

I love Mantra Rays!!!!

You guys sure have a hard time keeping the ink off ya! Lol!!

Quando omni flunkus mortati:

When all else fails, play dead.

Aah, the 1970s crazies over Transcendental Meditation and variations every other day … Krishna, Krishna airport attacks ….

“Do what you can, because that’s all you can do.”

11am is when I feel like the fourth panel.

Nobody knows the truffles he’s seen…

I’m perfectly willing to go back to bed in exchange for my troubles leaving me alone. They don’t seem willing, though.

My mantra is, “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet”.

I have a preying mantra
