I have seen some incredibly cleaver qotes on this BB. Could I see them (again) and get some feedback on where they originated?

I finally got my one I intend to use. I got it from a fortune cookie the other day. Actually, my boyfriend got it but gladly gave it to me because it was more appropriate for me (okay so we switched fortunes). I am four years older then my boyfriend....

wo hoooooo!

Here's my favorite and I'm sorry I don't remember where I heard it first:

"No one ever has 'I wish I'd spent more time at the office' engraved on their tomb stone."

That helps me to say no to things I really don't want to do and spend time with my family doing things I want to do.
