Two of my old time favourites and when you think about it, full of wisdom:

“The two most common elements in the universe are Hydrogen and stupidity..” Harlan Ellison

“In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life: it goes on.” Robert Frost

American beer is like sex in a canoe, it’s fucking close to water.
