"If you can't dazzle them with intelligence, baffle them with BS."
I do the latter a lot...

"Be careful what you wish for, you may get it."
Earliest reference I could find: There are a number of versions of this quote and it is attributed to a number of sources such as in the story the Monkey's Paw, which is a classic horror story apparently written by W.W. Jacobs,, first appearing in Harpers Monthly in 1902. The story begins with a quotation "Be careful what you wish for, you may receive it" - unfortunately attributed by the author to Anonymous.
"An insult is like a drink. It only affects you if you accept it."
Glory Road, Robert Heinlein (probably not the original author of the quote)
"All the prophets of Doom, Can always find room, In a world full of worry and fear..." - Protest Song, Monty Python
White's statement:
"Don't lose heart."
Owen's Commentary on White's Statement:
"...they might want to cut it out ...."
Byrd's Addition to Owen's Commentary on White's Statement:
"...and they want to avoid a lengthy search."
And on a less joking note:
"Most folks are as happy as they make their minds up to be." - Abraham Lincoln

Said by one of the characters in a book by L. E. Modesitt. A book from his "Recluse" series. But I didn't write down which book when I wrote the quote down and now I can't remember which book the quote came from.
But just think about the quote for a minute. Please.
