"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity... and I'm not sure about the universe" - Einstein
Also, from Wikipedia:
Several Murphy's law adages claim that idiot-proof systems cannot be made, for example "Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool" and "If you make something idiot-proof, someone will just make a better idiot." Along those lines, Douglas Adams wrote in Mostly Harmless, "a common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools".[3]

I have a sticky note on my wall that says "overthinking kills your happiness", and I got it from a random steam profile. On the next two lines it says "I get knocked down, but I get up again", which I got from a Neil Cicierega remix. They remind me to not worry about living, the dumb things that I've done, and any possible dumb thing that I'm sure I'll end up doing in the future.

Will also leave these here :)
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
by Robert Frost
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

"Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.” -- Winston Churchill
“Better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.” -- Mark Twain
Mark Twain is, generally speaking, a good source for quotes on any subject matter, even the internet, which he preceded by about a century and a half:
“Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”

If there's another life at the end of this, you should work for it. And if there isn't, you should work to make this one count.
... My dad, I guess. Not sure if he ever got it from somewhere or someone. Nothing cheery, but it works. He's all about that hard work :P

Lets face it. Life gets to us all at one point or another. So we all have some quote from somewhere, be it poetry, philosophy, something we heard in a movie or a game. What quotes help you get through the day?
I have a few.-
Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience. - Samuel Clemens
If you make it idiot proof, they will make a better idiot - random shirt I once saw
Work sucks. Try to have some fun to make the day go by. - I HOPE that was me, but I know it wasn't. ( I know it's just stupid but people do agree with me on that).
Anyone else have some to share?
