This thread is to put our favorite sayings, quotes or signatures.

I found one this last week that I love.

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

This one brought to mind so many moments to me: the look on Ron's face as I walked down the isle, holding Nikki for the first time, seeing Damon for those few moments before he went to NICU when our eyes locked, picking my sweet Michu.

"Just because you're pro-troops doesn't mean you're pro-war. And just because you're anti-war doesn't mean you're anti-troops. Just because you don't support the war people think you are anti-troops and you are a bad guy. And just because you go support the troops and rah-rah the troops up all of a sudden you're pro-war."Sadly this was said by country artist Toby Keith, but I find it to be a true misconception and a pretty clever insight.

"No mystical energy field controls my destiny..." -Han Solo

We were on fade for my buddies birthday and hit up this pretty nice restaurant. There's about ten of us at the table, just talking yang, hanging out. My buddies lady and her friend start talking about how when they used to get off of work they'd head on down to this nicer restaurant downtown, split a bottle of wine, get mouthy and head out to the bars. They were talking about the funny things that had happened when one of them said a camera crew should follow them around, like for a reality show. Then my buddy slam dunked them with, "what's it going to be called, 'When Unclassy People Go To Classy Places'?" I just about peed a beer gyser. Comedy and excellent.
