2. "Never take yourself (or anyone else) too seriously. (unknown)"  
3. "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." (President F.D.R.)
4. "When the going gets tough, the tough throw-up." (I may have coined this one)  
5. "It is better to have loved and lost than never to have lost at all." (Lester "The Old Roadhog" Moran/The Statler Bros. parody)
