I've created several decent quotes throughout my life, but unfortunately I never wrote any of them down. One that I recall, though, is: "There is no such thing as overthinking; only overlooking." Generally used as a response to someone who makes the universal excuse: "I guess I overthought it." or "I didn't want to overthink it."
Something I tell my students from time to time:
"Wildness is not a prerequisite for fun!"
[I teach at an all-girl high school. It seems that as time goes by they have less and less comportment and propriety!]
Do the best you can and do it right , who knows what comes next ! :)

I don't speak English, I speak greatness; my words mesmerize the ear like a Brazilian 24 year-old dressed in a scarlet silk dress seduces the eye as she performs the tango with her dancing partner onstage. I know so because you're still listening.
When I see the Big Dipper, I see it taking big scoops out of the future and feeding to me my dreams.
I would continue to say I love you if it could epitomize how much I do.
Most of these lines are from urban word poems in progress. Hope you like them.
I've paraphrased a couple of Public Domain sayings: "Do not underestimate the Power of Autism" and "If at first you don't succeed, try it a different way."
I think I'd like as a requiem for any of my work:
"Don't sit there analysing it - just laugh!"
"If I can't get any love then I might as well get laid"
Once upon a time, long ago, my father brought a painting he considered buying home to get the opinions of my mother and myself. He went on talking about it for some length, and ended his speech by saying:
-This bloke really knows how to paint!
...and of course yours truly aged 12 or so found the painting hideous and retorted:
-So why doesn't he?
My mother started laughing hysterically and my father never did buy that painting.

Don't speak in hyperbole; live in it!
Teehee. A lot of these are really good.
I have the weight of the world upon my shoulders. It is outstanding.
