A case of eyeslip
I'm afraid I missed your Claudio and Benedick quote the first time. I suppose I skipped straight to your sig from your mention of it.
In any case, one of my favorite quotes from that play is Beatrice's response to the question "Well, then, go you into hell?"
quote:
No, but to the gate; and there will the devil meet me, like an old cuckold, with horns on his head, and say 'Get you to heaven, Beatrice, get you to heaven; here's no place for you maids:' so deliver I up my apes, and away to Saint Peter for the heavens; he shows me where the bachelors sit, and there live we as merry as the day is long.
What a lovely thought!

A couple random ones to share:
"We're off like a herd of turtles!" -Mr. B, 7-8th grade band teacher, joking around, or so I hope.
"The longer it takes, the longer it takes" - Mr. Trochil Senior High school band teacher. Just think about it a little and apply something to it. I usually say this over and over to myself when I'm in a nordic ski race. The longer it takes for me to get up this hill, the longer I have to wait to use the bathroom when I finally finish the race.
