What’s your funny favorite saying for tough times?

“Courage, Camille”. That’s what my mother used to say to me for encouragement and now I say to myself and to one of my friends. I often wondered where that phrase originated as I’ve heard it used in other scenarios. It most likely originated with Alexandre Dumas in his novel, The Lady of the Camillias”. There were many films over the years based on this novel so perhaps it originated in one of the films? I don’t know but it sure reminds me of my mother.
