Favourite Taurus quote?

What is your favourite Taurus quote - uttered by a Taurus, and showing the essence of the sign? Mine is the famous quote from the entertainer Liberace: when asked if he was ever upset by criticism, he replied "Oh, yes - the other day I cried all the way to the bank!"

My favourite quote is "I believe in pink. I believe that
laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing,
kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles." by Audrey Hepburn 🙂
