Happiness is not taking your tax return too seriously

 It's for the government after all, so just make sure it's . . .

The Patron Saint of Mediocrities Everywhere

Mozart: [about the royal composer's position he did not get] Whom did they choose?

Salieri: Herr Zummer.

Mozart: Herr Zummer? But the man's a fool, he's a total mediocrity!

Salieri: No, no, he has yet to achieve mediocrity. ...

Your... merciful God. He destroyed His own beloved [Mozart], rather than let a mediocrity share in the smallest part of His glory.

I will speak for you, Father. I speak for all mediocrities in the world. I am their champion. I am their patron saint.

Mediocrities everywhere... I absolve you... I absolve you... I absolve you... I absolve you... I absolve you all.
