"It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known" - Dickens, "A Tale of Two Cities".
"After all - tomorrow is another day!" Scarlett O'hara.
BTW, not to be too critical (we all forget sources, I certainly do,) the San Francisco "Summer" quote was actually said by Mark Twain. (It's possible W.C. Fields said it in a movie somewhere but I don't know about that.) Twain had another one that was priceless: "Reports of my demise were exaggerated".
A priceless quote from playright and critic George Bernard Shaw: "Last Night the Philadelphia String Quartet Played Brahms - - Brahms lost".
Another favorite is the line that got Groucho Marx tossed off the air when doing "You Bet Your Life": Groucho: 'So you have 10 children, do you?' Contestant: 'Yes I do.' Groucho: 'To what do you attribute that?' Contestant: 'I love my wife'. Groucho: 'I love my cigar too, but I take it out once in awhile'.
A great Shakespeare line (Merchant of Venice) is: "Neither a borrower nor a lender be".
FDR: "The only thing we have to fear is - - fear itself."
Churchill loved to lampoon the British language with such things as: "That is the sort of thing up with which I shall not put".
Could go on - will stop.

Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
sonnet 116 (my very favorite!!)
by shakespeare
our doubts are traitors,
and makes us lose the
good we oft might win,
by fearing to attempt.

"You can't get stronger by hate, revenge, or the love of power. To be strong is to PROTECT the ones who saved you from loneliness, helped you when needed,...........the ones you love and care about."
"I have been with a precious person all this time, even if it was very rough, but it was my happiest time of my life!"
"I may not have a family, but I have friends. BUT when YOU leave I'll be as lonely as you!!!! I think of you as more than a friend!!!"
