When one door closes, another door opens.

And a bunch of mosquitos just got in, great.

Everything happens for a reason.

Usually, the reason is ‘you seemed too happy.’

There are plenty of fish in the sea.

Also, unexploded naval mines.

Don’t sweat the small stuff.

Sweat the big stuff and ignore the small stuff until the small stuff becomes the big stuff and there’s new small stuff to not sweat.

Count your blessings.

Then divide by your curses and solve for ‘Why.’

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

And now you know that fondness feels like total dog shit, so that’s cool.

The only way out is through.

And the only way through is out. Good luck, Batman. You have ten minutes.

— The Riddler

This too shall pass.

Like a kidney stone. Slowly, and through your penis hole.

God only gives us as much as we can handle.

NO TAKE-BACKSIES.

Look at the glass half full.

Sitting on a table that’s half obliterated in a house that’s half NOT on fire!

It’s always the darkest just before the dawn.

And that’s when we attack. The False King’s reign of terror ends tonight.

Every cloud has a silver lining.

Which means even clouds have more nice things than you.

There’s always sun after the rain.

Which kills the worms that came up because they were drowning. Nature is kinda fucked up, huh.

Lions don’t lose sleep over the opinions of sheep.

They lose sleep over lion aneurysms. So scary. Can happen to anyone.

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.

No matter how dead you want to be. Sorry, I don’t make the rules.
