+"Help! I'm stuck in the fortune cookie factory!
+He who laughs at himself never runs out of things to laugh at.
+The world is your oyster.
+Today will be a good day.
+Life's short, party naked.
+Haters gonna hate.
+You are amazing and let no one tell you otherwise.
+A starship ride has been promised to you by the galactic wizard.
+That wasn’t chicken.
+Don’t fry bacon in the nude.
+Take calculated risks. That is quite different from being rash.
+DO THE IMPOSSIBLE, SEE THE INVISIBLE.
+You cannot plough a field by turning it over in your mind. Unless you have telekinesis.
+No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.
+Never lose the ability to find beauty in ordinary things.
+Ignore previous fortune.
+Smile more.
+You are the dancing queen.
+YOU'RE THE BEST AROUND, NOTHIN'S GONNA EVER KEEP YA DOWN.
+The cake is a lie.
+Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
+Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings.
+Never go to a doctor whose office plants have died.
+Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else.
+What if everything is an illusion and nothing exists? In that case, I definitely overpaid for my carpet.
+Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there.
+Think like a man of action, and act like a man of thought.
+When in doubt, lubricate.
+It is time for you to live up to your family name and face FULL LIFE CONSEQUENCES.
+It's a good day to do what has to be done.
+Move near the countryside and you will be friends of John Freeman.
+If you can't beat 'em, mock 'em.
+Use gun. And if that don't work, use more gun.
+LOOK OUT BEHIND YOU
+This message will self destruct in 10 seconds.
+You'll never know what you can do until you try.
+You are talented in many ways
+Be both a speaker of words and a doer of deeds.
+A visit to a strange place will bring you renewed perspective.
+A passionate new romance will appear in your life when you least expect it.
+If you care enough for a result, you will most certainly attain it.
+To be loved, be loveable.
+Step away from the power position for one day.
+If you want to get a sure crop with a big yield, sow wild oats.
+It doesn't take guts to quit.
+You can expect a change for the better in job or status in the future.
+As the wallet grows, so do the needs.
+You have a reputation for being straightforward and honest.
+Learn a new language and get a new soul.
+A tall dark stranger will soon enter our life.
+Keep staring. I'll do a trick.
