I nominate Alice's statement below as one of the best proverbs concerning map libraries, suitable for framing, and attachment to email signatures:



"I have never seen the middle ground in a map collection. You are
     usually at the top or the bottom of a steep cliff. Middle ground
     sounds kinda neat."
