What are some of your favorite "recovery" cliche's?

I know there are tons out there, they're all over the rooms on little signs and I'm drawing a big fat blank right now??

You know, like........

"It works if you work it" "this too shall pass" "Keep coming back"....

What is YOUR favorite??????

Ah yes!!! "No matter what, no matter what........"

& "To thine own self be true!"
