What do you think MacGyver's mantra for life would be? What little saying best describes his over all view and approach to life?

Cease the day.
Respect all (living) things.

The first is because, I think he says that in Birthday. I think Mac likes to take everything to the max every day.

And second because he's involved in practically everything that needs caring. The environmental and endangered species programme, kids in trouble...

I think the poison that was used was applied to this knife, passed to the mutton when it was cut and then activated by the wine. - MacGyver.
Sometimes you just have to die a little inside to be reborn and rise again as a stronger and wiser version of you.
It's better to be a little sad than to be fake content.

I've always thought "Do what you can with whatever you have, where ever you are" was always pretty MacGyverish.

Sounds like good advice. Most people intend to completely block out when they're in a crisis situation in an unfamiliar environment.

To define Mac's outlook on life, I usually refer to three of his own quotes:
'Everything's personal'; 'We're all in this together'; and 'I cannot keep away.'
Together those three make the quintessential MacGyver and the way he defines his place in this world � at least to me.

"Where there's Life there i hope." and "There is always a way out." come to mind a lot:)

Yeah, I like those, too. It's hard to choose one mantra that says it all.
