On or Off topic, list them. 2 of my all time favorites;
"There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance - that principle is contempt prior to investigation." -Herbert Spencer
Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind. Dr. Seuss

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I cannot accept, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those people I had to kill today because they pissed me off.
And also, help me to be careful of the toes I step on today as they be connected to the ass that I may have to kiss tomorrow.
Help me to always give 100% at work... 12% on Monday. 23% on Tuesday. 40% on Wednesday. 20% on Thursday. 5% on Friday.
And help me to remember... When I'm having a really bad day, and it seems that people are trying to piss me off, that it takes 42 muscles to frown and only 4... to extend my middle finger and tell them to bite me!
Amen.

Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom. Viktor E. Frankl
My favorite quote is something I heard at my first meeting, at every meeting since, and still hear. It gave me hope, and of all the suggestions given to me, it's the one I've taken literally and followed completely.
Just when I'm psyching the mind and getting into the wisdom.......here it comes. Wren, He's off his "throne" again. God love you, Phil, for lifting our spirits!
'Sympathy can be found in only one place, it's between Shit and Syphilis in a dictionary.' (My ex boss, 2001)
and (regarding suicide) 'If life is that bad, it can only get better!' (Me, 2001. This same quote was one said to me recently by a good friend, it helps).
