[lips twist into a bitter sneer] Oh, yes. Aphorisms. Clever little sayings meant to simplify everything and appease the idiot masses. That's a lovely little one in particular - it means sit down and shut up and mind your business. 'Don't rock the boat.' Ignore mediocrity, and let them do whatever they like. Because all the idiots who've ever scoffed at my great ideas are someone going to care and be angry if I go on to lead a happy life! That's not revenge, that's just another way of bending over and taking it.
