D&D General Alignments in a sentence/phrase/whatever

NOTE: This is NOT a thread to argue about alignment in general, whether is is good or bad or stupid or neat. It is also not a place to argue about real world ethics and morality.

What it IS is a thread where we express our personal views of what each alignment means in a (hopefully fun and pithy) single sentence or phrase or song title or whatever.

So, with that out of the way, here is my list:

Lawful Good: Right is might.
Lawful neutral: Unity is strength.
Lawful Evil: Dissent is weakness.
Neutral Good: Right is right, no matter what the law says.
Neutral: Whatever, man.
Neutral Evil: Always look out for Number 1.
Chaotic Good: Do what thou will, let it harm none.
Chaotic Neutral: Possession is 9/10 of the law.
Chaotic Evil: Some men just want to watch the world burn.

My take:
(note in my experience CG can be just as scary an alignment as CE or CN. Doing the right thing without regard for other people's reality is quite disruptive even when good is the intent. and LE played intelligently is very often taken for a G alignment. While LN played harshly is often taken as LE or NE)

Lawful Good: Right is Right
Lawful Neutral: Rule's are more important than people.
Lawful Evil: Power Rules, Weakness obeys
Neutral Good: Do the right thing nothing else matters.
Neutral: Everyone is equal and deserves a chance at life no matter how short their choices may make it.
Neutral Evil: All for me and none for you.
Chaotic Good: Do the right thing, your way damn the consequences.
Chaotic Neutral: do what you feel or think.
Chaotic Evil: Burn it all down.
