Fortunes in my wallet

Fortune cookies rarely have real fortunes in them or even do they often have anything in them worth reading, prophesy based or not. So when you open a cookie and read something of value, its a special moment.

I have kept four strips of paper in my wallet from fortune cookies.

One isn't that cool, but it is a fortune:
"You will have good luck in the Spring"

The others I kept because they're awesome and I want to remember them:
"Fate loves the fearless"
"You have a remarkable power which you are not using"
"What you see in the mirror, and what you can be are two different images"

I like 'Fate loves the fearless.' I think there should be one that says 'You will pay taxes and die.' It's Mark Twain's famous maxim about the universal truths of life. Or an aphorism by Oscar Wilde would be awesome.
