"Great wits are sure to madness near allied,
and thin partitions do their bounds divide."That's from John Dryden, a contemporary of Shakespeare's. Maybe we so clever because we are depressed...or vice versa...

Reminds me of a famous misquote of Hobbes: "Life is nasty, brutish, futile, and short." I'd say *that* would also have a chance at being the motto, if only it had been "long" instead of "short"--in that context, "short" sounds rather optimistic.
