One of the ones I like:

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Always do sober what you said you would do drunk. Maybe that way you'll learn to keep your mouth shut.

It doesn't go exactly like this, but this is what I remember:

"Better to not speak and appear a fool, then to open your mouth and remove all doubt" - Chinese proverb, I suppose.

It's not exactly an all-purpose quote, but when I'm in a bad mood this one from Penny Arcade always makes me feel better:

http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2006/04/10/

Don't say another god****ed word. Up until now, I've been polite. If you say anything else - word one - I will kill myself. And when my tainted soul finds its destination, I will topple the master of that dark place. From my black throne, I will lash together a machine of bone and blood and fueled by my hatred for you, this fear engine will bore a hole between this world and that one.

When it begins, you will hear the sound of children screaming - as though from a great distance. A smoking orb of nothing will grow above your bed, and from it will emerge a thousand starving crows. As I slip through the widening maw in my new form, you will catch only a glimpse of my radiance before you are incinerated. Then, as tears of bubbling pitch stream down my face, my dark work will begin.

I will open one of my six mouths and sing the song that ends the Earth.

"As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."

A lot of us think what we want in our life is happiness. Well, happiness is an extreme. We have to learn how to recognize contentment. Sometimes you gotta look around and go, 'Hey, everything is OK.'

"Those who want to live, let them fight, and those who do not want to fight in this world of eternal struggle do not deserve to live." - Adolf Hitler

I in no way condone what this man did as right. Honestly he repulses me.

But i do believe in the quote. Fight for what you believe in. Nothing is just going to come to you, you have to fight for it and if you dont want to fight for something you believe in, then why are you here.

Beer is living proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy (Benjamin Franklin) ;D
