"The only true way is to marshal the ferocity of your ambition over the course of many days, weeks, months, and (if you could finally come to accept it) years. The Trial of Miles; Miles of Trials." John L. Parker.
"He ran because it grounded him in basics. There was both life and death in it; it was unadulterated by media hype, trivial cares, political meddling...it was all joy and woe, hard as a diamond; it made him weary beyond comprehension. But it also made him free." - John L. Parker

Oh yeah and this one's always a classic
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.” - Theodore Roosevelt

Stupidity should be rewarded with pain and suffering.
my husband.
(So, when he (mildly) cut his finger on the table saw, I calmly asked him if he was in pain and if he was suffering. He said "Yes, and I was STUPID too!" (Irony of this is that he's hugely safety minded.)

A woman was letting her husband have it with just a touch more venom than usual.
"You're an idiot. You have always been an idiot. You'll always be an idiot. If they had an idiot contest, you'd come in second."
"Why would I come in second?" the brow-beaten husband asked.
"Because you're an idiot!"
