Mottos/creeds in the classroom

Mottos/Creeds in the classroom:

Be diligent, fond of studying, and eager/brave to ask questions.

Hi,

Do both mottos and creeds fit in the above and mean about the same to you?

Besides, does the second line in the above sound good? Do both eager and brave fit there? Thanks.

No, that sentence does not have the stature of a motto or creed. It is simply advice, a suggestion, or an admonishment. 'Brave' does not work here, semantically or sytactically.
