If you ever want to entertain yourself as I do...invent a quote!
Here is my attempt today:
The elegance of man does not rest upon the fact that he can stand upright, but more so that he can stand at all, despite the gales of nature and human nature which constantly threaten to bring him to his knees.
What can you come up with?
Come sit a spell and shoot the breeze. Sweeten the day with a little synchronicity...

I'll have to think about this for a few days. In the meantime, I've enjoyed coming up with re-definitions, which I suppose is not entirely unlike a quote. Here's a recent one for coping.
Actual definition:
Cop•ing-noun
1. to struggle or deal, esp. on fairly even terms or with some degree of success (usually fol. by with): I will try to cope with his rudeness.
2. to face and deal with responsibilities, problems, or difficulties, esp. successfully or in a calm or adequate manner: After his breakdown he couldn’t cope any longer.
—Synonyms 1. wrestle, strive, persevere.
I think we should add one to that to better reflect the unique brand of constant coping that those of us use to manage our constantly changing completely unpredictable disease.
How about this:
3. a successful effort to persevere in spite of the odds when managing health changes in the face of uncertainty. ie. The ability to constantly reinvent yourself.

I'll start quote formulation and get back to you on that. Thanks for the inspiration!
