    I already have one that's a literary reference. there is a french children's book called Le Petit Prince (the little prince) that is very profound. I have ink on my ride side from my back to front along the ribs that says

    "Te deviends responsable, pour toujours, de ce que tu as apprivoisé"

    translated - "You are responsible, forever, for what you have tamed."

    In the book the little prince "tames" a wild snake as well as a rose he falls in love with. I think it reminds me to never underestimate the effect you may have on others and their lives, as well as to be aware of letting someone "tame" you and what would happen if you later lost them.

    Call nothing thy own except thy soul.
    Love not what thou art, but only what thou may become.
    Do not pursue pleasure, for thou may have the misfortune to overtake it.
    Look always forward; in last year's nest there are no birds this year.
    Be just to all men. Be courteous to all women.
    Live in the vision of that one for whom great deeds are done

    This is Don Quixote's Vigil Prayer

    Le Petit Prince is an incredible book. Great choice!

    I think I would get some of the lyrics of Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin on me...in some fancy font...
    This song reminds me of my father. Makes me wish he had taken the time to change the road he was on....

    "there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
    There's still time to change the road you're on."

    You taught me not to read the forums while at work. I cannot stop laughing, but can't tell my coworkers why! :tongue:

    "With joy which death alone can still"

    Line from the song Carmen Ohio, which has meaning to me in many ways.

    "Delete the adjectives."

    This comes from a line in To Kill a Mockingbird - "Atticus told me to delete the adjectives and I'd have the facts."

    Basically, strip away all the bullcrap and at the root you'll have the cold, hard truth. Good life lesson.

    i might get something relating to this poem. not huge on poetry but this has always been in my mind.

    George Gray



    I have studied many times
    The marble which was chiseled for me --
    A boat with a furled sail at rest in a harbor.
    In truth it pictures not my destination
    But my life.
    For love was offered me and I shrank from its disillusionment;
    Sorrow knocked at my door, but I was afraid;
    Ambition called to me, but I dreaded the chances.
    Yet all the while I hungered for meaning in my life.
    And now I know that we must lift the sail
    And catch the winds of destiny
    Wherever they drive the boat.
    To put meaning in one's life may end in madness,
    But life without meaning is the torture
    Of restlessness and vague desire --
    It is a boat longing for the sea and yet afraid.


    Edgar Lee Masters

    I actually plan on getting this, but I would have "Don't Panic" underneath the Hitch Hiker's Guide symbol. (The thumb with the planet). Because Douglas Adams is god.

    "Le coeur a ses raisons que la raison ne connait point." / "The heart has its reasons, of which reason knows nothing." -Blaise Pascal

    or

    "J'aime et j'espere." / "I love and I hope." - from a necklace that Thomas Jefferson had made for his daughter.


    Apparently I'm all about the French.
