Inspirational saying?

I always like reading little inspirational sayings that people have around their homes.  I don't have any myself, I am not even sure why.  I think I have just been on the look for the want that I really want, one that is my family.  Well I saw one the other day, that gave me a chuckles.  I was at a friend's house and after a couple glasses of wine and some soda, well nature called.  So into the bathroom I went.  Of course when you walk into a room and notice a saying, especially above the toilet, you are going to read it.  There was a popular inspirational saying that at that moment took a whole new meaning.  The beautifully painted board above the toilet read, "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away".   At first I was thinking oh what a nice saying, then I thought oh, funny saying for the bathroom since there maybe several times in life that your breath could be taken away there.  I wanted to say something about how funny, but then I thought, what if it wasn't meant to be funny and I offended her.  So until now it's been my private chuckle.  Lesson learned always make sure you inspirational sayings do not take on a new meaning when placed in a particular room.
