	You can soar with eagles...or walk with the turkeys.
	You can't always get what you want, but if you try, sometimes, you get what you need.
	You can't prevent the birds of sorrow from flying over your head, but you can prevent them from building nests in your hair.
	You can't roller-skate in a buffalo herd.
	You did WHAT?
	You do not have, because you do not ask.
	You don't have the right not to be offended.
	You'll eventually get it.
	You’ve got to have fun. Lifestyle is everything.
	You’ve got to stand for something, or you'll fall for anything.
	You had me at “Hello”.
	"You may have tangible wealth untold, caskets of jewels and coffers of gold. Richer than I you can never be. I had a mother who read to me." --- Strickland Gillian
	You must be present to win.
	You must do the things you think you cannot do.
	You never know!
	You only get out of life what you put into it, not take from it!
	You only have one life, so make it worth living!
	You only pass this way once, so go for the gold.
	You should live through your eyes, not the eyes of others.
	"You should not grow in one direction like an automobile, but in five like a star." --- Walter I. Anderson (Mississippi artist)
	Your attitude and behavior sets the tone of others around you.
	Your inner voice is individualized wisdom. Strive forward with its guidance.
	Your Past is the present you give to your Present. Your Present is the present you give to your Future.
	You're going somewhere, or you're going nowhere!
