"So we went to Atari and said, 'Hey, we've got this amazing thing, even built with some of your parts, and what do you think about funding us? Or we'll give it to you. We just want to do it. Pay our salary, we'll come work for you.' And they said, 'No.' So then we went to Hewlett-Packard, and they said, 'Hey, we don't need you. You haven't got through college yet.'"

First off, I'll quote Dave's quote invitation.
This one applies, too.
How about this?
Man, that dude's a fountain. Perhaps we may take a little strength from his most famous one:
Someone stop me before I bring up Kierkegarrd's thoughts on patience and taking chances . . .
I would have so loved to have had my tablet already to amuse and befuddle my in-laws this past Thanksgiving or again at Christmas. I'm certainly thankful that I hadn't made a big deal about getting a Linux-based device while they were stuck with the lousy Android stuff . . .

You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist.
There are no facts, only interpretations.
I’m not upset that you lied to me, I’m upset that from now on I can’t believe you.
That which does not kill us makes us stronger.

Another one I never understood was why a half full cup is supposed to indicate optimism. To me, the cup could be full, but it's only half full. That's a bad thing. Therefore, seeing the cup only half full is a pessimistic view. Similarly, a cup is not empty, it's only half empty. Rejoice!

At my darkest times I like to reflect on quotes from the great Swami Salami of New Deli.
"Climum fences rip'm pances"
Also
"In mud eels is. In clay nunar"

“You shouldn’t chase after the past or place expectations on the future.
What is past is left behind.
The future is as yet unreached.
Whatever quality is present you clearly see right there, right there.”
