This is by Claudia at Never a Dull Moment.
Lord, give me the serenity
to accept the people I cannot change,
the courage to change the person I can
and the wisdom to know it's me

Larry Winget - from You're Broke Because You Want to Be.
“To change, you just change. Remember how you did things yesterday? Do not do them that way today. Do not think the way you did. Do not talk the way you did. Do not act the way you did.”
Larry Winget
“Not caring is the ultimate insult to yourself and your family. To know how to be successful and not care enough to do it is truly a pitiful thing. How can you look your family in the eye and admit to them that you are able to provide a better life for them, but will not because you don’t love them enough to read a book, take a class, get up a little earlier, turn off the TV a little quicker or work a little harder or longer?”

Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling, Fred and George Weasley quotes
"Give her hell from us, Peeves."
"Make way for the heir of Slytherin, seriously evil wizard coming through..."
"You don't want to bottle your anger up like that, Harry, let it all out," said Fred, beaming. "There might be a couple people fifty miles away who didn't hear you."
"You haven't got a letter on yours," George observed. "I suppose she thinks you don't forget your name. But we're not stupid - we know we're called Gred and Forge."
"Harry!" said Fred, elbowing Percy out of the way and bowing deeply. "Simply splendid to see you, old boy--""Marvelous," said George, pushing Fred aside and seizing Harry's hand in turn. "Absolutely spiffing."Percy scowled."That's enough, now," said Mrs. Weasley."Mum!" said Fred as though he'd only just spotted her and seizing her hand too. "How really corking to see you--"

Katie Fforde, Living Dangerously Quote
The setting is 2 middle aged friends at an aerobics class:
"After what seemed like hours, the steps were gathered in a corner and the five minutes of high-energy exercise began. It was a killer. Polly, who had discovered a clock in the corner, kept giving it sidelong glances and getting out of step.
"I'm not sure my bra is up to this", she panted, clutching on to its straps to lighten its load. It was her Christmas bra and Polly was still washing it by hand in her bath. She didn't want to over-extend it so early on its career.
"Never mind your bra" snapped Bridget, now quite red in the face. "you haven't got stress incontinence to contend with."
"What the hell is that?"
"It's what happens if you have babies and don't do your pelvic-floor exercises."
Polly gulped and tried frantically to get back into rhythm. Had she got a pelvic floor? If she had, she certainly didn't exercise it."
