I have a few, because if one phrase gets tired and worn (or jinxed courtesy of my mentioning it) this way I have a Plan B. ^_^ Plans B are good, yes?
Lately "Come on, *work* with me!" seems to work out really well as a mantra....also, "I don't have *time* for this." with the optional "....because life is too short." gets it done on occasion too. (In particular, when I growl out "I DON'T have TIME for this!" even inaminate things start to cooperate, like the washing machines in the laundry room, the low-flow piece-of-crap toilet in my apartment, and so on....)
And there's a third one, that I *won't* mention. Mainly because it is not in English per se. And it's one of those things I can only use *rarely and with some caution*, a "in emergency break glass" kind of thing. I had originally discovered the phrase in Mandarin Chinese in a book of poetry I had read phonetically in the second grade (yes, I was a weird little geek, and my older sister encouraged me on this one because it was *Maoist* poetry and it creeped out the grown-ups something fierce).
Then one day....my older sister told me to not use *that phrase* from *that poem* anymore, she said it had a counterpart in some Native American languages and that it wasn't pretty. So for a while I did just that and put it out of my mind.
When I did a little research later on, on the syllables of the phrase, I found out why my sister was creeped out: Turns out that phrase *invokes a wind spirit*. In at least *three* different Native American cultures. o_o
And even now....if I so much as say the phrase under my breath the wind picks right up (and usually the weather gets *worse* not better). So yeah....I'm keeping that one to myself, sorry.
Thanks for your time though. ^_^

Hi, about a year or 2 ago i experienced the exact same.. well experience i guess, Im 14 now and still havent found out what it was or why it was happening. I could tell what color cars that i couldnt even see were. I had a really strong experience of it for about a week, everyday i knew things were going to happen about 7 times a day, after about 3 weeks or more i stopped knowing things before they occured. Like i said its been 2 years now and still i havent noticed anything before it occured. I would love to know what it was because it was pretty awesome. Thing is when you try to tell someone they will right you off as crazy, But if i were you i wouldnt care about it or worry about it to much, dont try and look at all these sights about it because chances are you'll waste money and get sucked into somthing that people want you to belive when really its bullshit. Anyway cheers mate, atleast you know somone els had the same sorta thing :)

I don't have one, but I have a sentence:
' If you didn't help me, how much better off would the world be?' It's true also.
