There's a Church on Craig Rd in St Louis where the pastor puts out a different humorous quote every day. Bet his sermons are fun as well.
A maxim credited to the philosopher Didactylos.
Means.....err, well work it out.

God and the soldier
All men adore
In time of trouble,
And no more;
For when war is over
And all things righted,
God is neglected -
The old soldier slighted.

“First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.”
- attributed to Pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984)

Sometime when you're feeling important;
Sometime when your ego 's in bloom;
Sometime when you take it for granted,
You're the best qualified in the room:
Sometime when you feel that your going,
Would leave an unfillable hole,
Just follow these simple instructions,
And see how they humble your soul.
Take a bucket and fill it with water,
Put your hand in it up to the wrist,
Pull it out and the hole that's remaining,
Is a measure of how much you'll be missed.
You can splash all you wish when you enter,
You may stir up the water galore,
But stop, and you'll find that in no time,
It looks quite the same as before.
The moral of this quaint example,
Is to do just the best that you can,
Be proud of yourself but remember,
There's no indispensable man.

If you are obliged to close yourself to the multiplicity of things, it follows that you will focus somewhat on a restrained area of things; and if you cannot freely value everything, nor freely weigh all things against other things, then, you must give disproportionate weight to some things which do not deserve this weight. You artificially inflate a small area of the world; give it a higher value in the horizon of your perception and action. And you do this because it represents an area that you can firmly hold on to, that you can skilfully manipulate, that you can use easily to justify yourself, your actions, your sense of self, your option in the world" - Ernest Becker
