I hadn't heard that one. Ozzie slang for: all will go well.

Here's one I don't know if they actually say: No worries. Which become Nwarreez.

Supposedly also say: Good day, mate.

Which has been misunderstood as: Good eye, mite.

"Finish each day and be done with it.
You have done what you could;
some blunders and absurdities have crept in;
forget them as soon as you can.
Tomorrow is a new day;
you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit
to be encumbered with your old nonsense."
Ralph Waldo Emerson </I>

There's a quote by C.S. Lewis that has stuck with me from the moment I heard it. I guess that qualifies as a quote I love!

Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important. - C. S. Lewis

I also like this one, and have no idea who first said it:

"If I am wrong (about Christianity--or maybe it was about the existence of God) than I have lost nothing. If you are wrong, then you have lost everything."

Sounds a little like Pascal's Wager.
