Two of my favorite "live by" quotes.
"Everything works out in the end. If things aren't working out... you are at the end yet."
...and
"The wise man, though all laws were abolished, would lead the same life!"

Either you are falling apart---or you are an appalling fart!
LOL, well in my case I think I am both.
You could always be a pail of art.
