Don't try to scare me - I already am."
The sign on the passenger side of the dash in my Radical said:
"When in doubt, go full throttle. It may not get you out of trouble, but it will end the suspense sooner."

My parting words to a signed off student are the same I received from my first instructor years ago... "Now, don't $#%@ing hit anything!" Vocabulary is adjusted as needed, but the message sure worked on me. Knock on wood, haven't had a student hit anything yet.

I have a friend who was instructing a particularly difficult student. After a couple of sessions the student asked to be signed off. My friend's response: "Sign you off? At this point you're not even signed off to drive home."

Sometimes I tell myself...'breathe in, breathe out'
Taken from a Rush lyric...'were only immortal for a limited time'
also.... 'its cool to be tough, but tough to be cool'
