Zen Koans and Quote of the Moment
"Does a dog have Buddha nature?"
"Woof!"
"The Dharma Bums"
"Why did Bodhidharma come from the West?"
"I don't care."

But let the mind beware, that though the flesh be bugged, the circumstances of existence are pretty glorious.
The other expression that sticks in my head (which is claimed to be Cervantes) is "comparisons are odious". That's a fairly bold philosophical Zen statement, that things should be taken as they are, and that relative comparisons aren't worth the hassle.
