Your favorite sayings?

What doesn't kill us makes us stronger.

One Ma used a lot when we were kids, and I was surprised that it wasn't common enough for others to know it when I went away to college:

"Two stubborn birds of equal strength can stretch a worm to any length" - in other words, "Okay you two, quit bickering and let it rest. No one is gonna win, so give up!"

Another oldie, this one from Grandma Peterson: "You aren't made of sugar, so you're not gonna melt ..." to any child (or pet) reluctant to go outside or off the porch when it was raining.

"Bob's your uncle."
"Just click here and then click there and voila, Bob's your uncle!"

"This too shall pass."
"I know that He's not giving me more than He knows I can handle!"
I recite these to myself when things aren't going well.

"Piece a' cake, babe."
When requests come in through helpdesk, I respond with this, depending on who is making the request.

"Better than a kick in the butt!"
I said this the last time I won $2 on a scratch n' win.
