•   "There is no reason to be unhappy."
•   "Don't let the small things bring ya down."
•   "Ya can't control people's opinions about you."
•   "The sun will always rise tomorrow."
•   "Ya get paid every 2 weeks."
•   "Keep your head down and follow through."
•   "Only you and forest fires can prevent bears."
•   "Let's make like a hockey player & get the puck out of here."
•   "Let's Go!"
