short phrase expressing principle

A short saying that shows what a person or group believes or how they try to live or work.

استعمال کا انداز: [someone]'s motto is "[words]"
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse "motto" with "motive" or "goal." A motto is a short sentence or phrase that expresses a belief or way of living, not the reason you do something (motive) or something you want to achieve (goal). Another mistake is using an unfinished phrase, like *"My motto is to be happy"*; it is more natural to use a short saying, such as *"My motto is 'Be happy'"*.
