Inspired by maia's post:

“When life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons, what the hell am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I’m the man who’s gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! I’m gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!”

"When life hands you lemons, make lemonade" = "I have water and sugar and you don't, aren't I awesome"

I say, when life gives you a lemon, wing it right back and add some lemons of your own!

When life gives you lemons, be sure to say Thank-you politely.

Huh, I scrolled past this and read Nisan's post first, by the time I got any further this was already running through my head.

Not so sure that this is a good rationalist quote though.
