HERE ARE 7 THAT YOU CAN ADD TO YOUR LIST
Regret for the past is a waste of the spirit
Life is not a Dress Rehearsal
Time lost is never found again
Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today
An apple a day keeps the doctor away
There is no love like a Mother's love
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer

I'd check out these:

here's a couple of my favorites:

Here are a few I really like.

"We're all in this together -- by ourselves." and

"It's gonna get worse before it gets worse."
(both by comedian/actor Lily Tomlin)

"Inside every older person is a younger person wondering: what the f**k happened!"
(comedian Jennifer Unlimited)

"The person who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person doing it."
(Chinese proverb)

"Question: How many surrealists does it take to wish you a Happy Birthday?"
"Answer: Fish."
(on a greeting card by 78th Street)

And, finally, from that famous quoter Anonymous:
"Work as if you don't need the money, love as if you've never been hurt and dance as if nobody's watching."

this isn't really a quote, but it is two stanza from Dante's Inferno translated by Allen Mandelbaum. i always loved these poetic and flowing lines:
"Now you must cast aside your laziness,"
my master said, "for he who rests on down
or under covers cannot come to fame;

and he who spends his life without renown
leaves such a vestige of himself on earth
as smoke bequeaths to air or foam to water.."

so there ya go. hope you can use it. :)

The problem with some people is that when they aren't drunk, they're sober..

It's not that I'm afraid to die, I just don't want to be there when it happens..
