I know the quote as "Man is a giddy thing" from Much Ado About Nothing. Benedick says it to te Duke at the end of the play when he publicly abandons his bachelordom.

Probably my memory playing tricks. Just checked, you're completely correct.

In the days before his death,
his Aunt Louisa asked him if he had made his peace with God.
His answer was "I did not know we had ever quarrelled, Aunt." H.D.T.

or (maybe too wild for you X) my favorite quote -

"Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." - Jesus

If music be the food of love, play on;
Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken, and so die.
That strain again! it had a dying fall:
O, it came o’er my ear like the sweet sound,
That breathes upon a bank of violets,
Stealing and giving odour! Enough; no more:
‘Tis not so sweet now as it was before.
O spirit of love! how quick and fresh art thou,
That, notwithstanding thy capacity
Receiveth as the sea, nought enters there,
Of what validity and pitch soe’er,
But falls into abatement and low price,
Even in a minute: so full of shapes is fancy
That it alone is high fantastical.

-Twelfth Night, Act 1, Scene 1

one of my favourite Shakespearean monologues, but might be a bit long for a signature.

To me, absurdity is the only reality. ~ "Frank Zappa"

To do a dull thing with style-now THAT'S what I call art - Charles Bukowski

The odds are fifty-sixty - Matti Nykänen

Thanks for all the great suggestions. I have by no means made up my mind, but I'm gonna start trying some new sigs on over the next few days or weeks. Comments are still appreciated.
