"90% of everything is crud...but the remaining 10% is worth dying for"-Theodore sturgeon.
Its actually a paraphrase and I don't actually think 90% of everthing is crud but I use it for a lot of genres and sub-genres of entertainment mediums.
For example, I believe that most anime is crud but the good ones are worth dying for. Most SF is crud and unoriginal but the rest is worth dying for. Most poetry is crud but the rest is dying for. The examples are numerous.
"Lay on, MacDuff!" - I seem to say this at least three times a day...
"Why so serious?"

"Take 'er easy out there for all us sinners"
Slightly adapted quote from the Cowboy in The Big Lebowski
My current favorite is, "Without oxen a stable stays clean." It is from the Proverbs of Solomon. I say it when I have to clean up messes left behind by others. The quote reminds me to appreciate the blessings of the people in my life and gives me patience to deal with what is not always so savory.
Interesting topic!

"Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof", or, in English, never mind tomorrow, lets worry about today!

"Keep a good head and always carry a light bulb." - Bob Dylan.
"So much time, so little to do!" Willie Wonka (movie)
"Formal education will make you a living. Self education will make you a fortune." - Jim Rohn
"Beggar that I am, I am poor even in thanks" (Hamlet)
You can't miss it if you have never had it - my scottish mother (damn her!)
Buy the ticket, take the ride. (Hunter S. Thompson)
"Virtue is most often confused with the lack of energy which comes which age "
