Rita's Little Life Philosophies

1. Seize the day!
2. Mistakes are the stepping stones to mastery.
3. Go big or go home.
4. If you truly believe in you, you're one-up already
5. If you're afraid to make the jump, you can always get a hang glider.
6. If you kill a cow, you gotta make a hamburger.
7. There is no one else in the world who knows everything that you know.
8. The work will be there tomorrow.
9. The purpose of life is clearly a life of purpose.
10. Life is a foreign language; everyone mispronounces it.
11. The common person should be entirely too selfish to take away their own life.
12. As we struggle to make sense of things, life looks on in repose.
13. Life is a great big canvas, and you should throw all the paint on it you can.
14. Fill what's empty. Empty what's full. Scratch where it itches.
15. Life is like a beautiful melody, only the lyrics are messed up.
16. Life... is like a box of chocolates - a cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that no one ever asks for, unreturnable because all you get back is another box of chocolates. So, you're stuck with mostly undefinable whipped mint crap, mindlessly wolfed down when there's nothing else to eat while you're watching the game. Sure, once is a while you get a peanut butter cup or an English toffee but it's gone too fast and the taste is fleeting. In the end, you are left with nothing but broken bits filled with hardened jelly and teeth-shattering nuts, which, if you are desperate enough to eat, leaves nothing but an empty box of useless brown paper.
17. I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that it's not the answer.
18. Living involves tearing up one rough draft after another.
19. Life is a damned muddle - a football game with everyone offside and the referee gotten rid of - everyone claiming the referee would have been on his side.
20. It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything
21. Living is like licking honey off a thorn.
