Question of the Day

On Thursday, we did most detested aphorisms, so today's question is, naturally: What is your favorite aphorism and/or the one you find yourself using most frequently?

Because I have a tendency to fret, and can quite easily become anxious to the point of making myself ill with worry if I let myself, I work very hard at letting go of things over which I have no control. At a certain point, I just have to take a few deep breaths and use a term that my dear friend Todd (aka Mr. Furious) first introduced to me: Tears in a bucket, motherfuckit.

It's a great phrase when there's nothing to be done but let go.
