Raining cat's and dogs. Still don't get it, but its a classic.

Just make sure its something you'll appreciate ten years from now, and not just something you relate to know.

I think in the age of texting and shorthand, having extreme passion for grammar balances the scales. I don't see it as negative.

I think it's more about intimidation than preparation.

I really like the second one. Regret can be overwhelming at times, but looking forward is the right thing to do. What other quotes do you have?

I think it can do a lot for your confidence. It also allows the brain to becomd practiced at retraining it, which can be helpful for future endeavors.

I don't make assumptions like that. If someone isn't talking and I suspectthey don't speak english, I'd ask them a question or address them to see if they do.

The jargon of my are does. "dude" "nah". Also, for some reason "absolutely" does too. I tend to say it assertively in situations where it doesn't completely apply.

Could be a quote, a statement, sentence. Whatever hits close to home.
