The battle is usually won or lost long before the fighting begins.

I especially like Krauss's quote.

So forget *****. Stars died so you could live.”

You have to look deeper, way below the anger, the hurt, the hate, the jealousy, the self-pity, way down deeper where the dreams lie, son. Find your dream. It's the pursuit of the dream that heals you. BILLY (- Billy Mills (father), Oglala Lakota (1938-)

A mans' watch is a cherished thing. If you steal that you might as well steal his soul.

Here's one I came up with after a rather unusual conversation with a friend- he was asking about possible instruments to add to a new music project and I was coming from DEEP left field...

Anyway my comment, which I think needs a trademark:

"Anyone who thinks it never hurts to ask, obviously never asked me."

When lamenting not having a girlfriend my junior year in high school to my best friend's mother, she looked at me and said...

"Don't worry. There's a lid for every trash can out there."

I never did figure out if I was the lid or the trash can.
