    The one on my profile page:

    Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow; Don't walk behind me, I may not lead; Walk beside me, and hold my cocktail while I reapply my lip gloss.

    "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be?" (Marianne Williamson)

    "Not all pain is gain" - Which is why, at the gym, I start with something simple. Usually a cappuccino or maybe some French onion soup.

    I actually said "not all pain is gain" for the first time after a guy at my gym got kicked full on in the whatsits. He said afterwards (in a strange high pitch voice) that he wasn't wearing a protective cup.

    "Not all pain is gain". *sips cappuccino*

    This is still my favorite after all these years:

    "Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
    Enwrought with golden and silver light,
    The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
    Of night and light and the half-light,
    I would spread the cloths under your feet:
    But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
    I have spread my dreams under your feet;
    Tread softly, because you tread on my dreams."

    --William Butler Yeats
