What is your favorite short quote? I have a few that I really like. I even have them posted on my computer desk so that I see them frequently. (Please indicate the author if it is known.)

"Certain people touch our lives in such a special way that anytime they're in our thoughts it seems a special day." (author unknown)

"Freedom is not the right to do as you please, but the liberty to do as we should." (author unknown)

"Don't do what you would undo if caught." (Leah Arendt)

...and from my daughter (she insisted I include it!)

"Don't take a laxative and a sleeping pill on the same night!" (author unknown)

When I was growing up this was a favorite among parents, we still joke about it. Yeah, like poking someone's eye out would make us happy. lol.

If no one is bleeding or dying, it isn't as bad as it seems.

Its only thread and fabric relax and step away for awhile.

Some days it's just not worth chewing thru the restraints.

If this world were logical, men would be riding sidesaddle.
