"Nooo! The other hole!" Heard this a lot when when I used to work as a teenager helping electricians to run cables in newly build offices.
“An educated man has been defined as one who can entertain himself, one who can entertain another, and one who can entertain a new idea.”
Ahhh, I wondered what this one was based on; "There's no such thing as an atheist in the southern ocean." I'm not sure on the sources, but a few of these have stuck over the years; "I'd rather be someone's shot of whisky than everyone's cup of tea!" "Sadness is not the opposite to happiness, Boredom is!" "If the **** gets hard, it's time to get harder than the ****!" "Through communication, you lead your team!" "We're all here cus we ain't all there!" "Cheerfulness in adversity!" "Obsessed is merely a word the lazy use to describe the dedicated."
“In a universe so full of wonders, they have managed to invent boredom!” Terry Pratchett Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.

"The worst lesson that can be taught a man is to rely upon others and to whine over his sufferings. If an American is to amount to anything he must rely upon himself, and not upon the State; he must take pride in his own work, instead of sitting idle to envy the luck of others; he must face life with resolute courage, win victory if he can, and accept defeat if he must, without seeking to place on his fellow-men a responsibility which is not theirs." -Theodore Roosevelt
“A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball and others of that nature are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks.” Thomas Jefferson
A couple of my favorites The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time. Mark Twain I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. Henry David Thoreau
