One-liners

Question

What is your favorite/s one liner/s? It could be a Spanish phrase, or not. Whatever it is, please post in in Spanish and English, and make sure that it will not be offensive to anyone.

If this is considered a game it can be moved over, but I wasn't sure.

Also, if there could be someone to correct the Spanish that would be awesome.

Here is one that I really like.

I don't suffer from insanity; I enjoy every minute of it.

No sufro de locura; disfruto de cada minuto de ello.
