It's better to light a candle than curse the darkness...
I've always been impressed by "It's better to light a candle than curse the darkness." It's from an old Chinese proverb which was saying better to do something about a problem than just complain about it. Further, a candle is a small answer to a large problem, but it is still a worthy step in the right direction, rather than just bemoaning the problem (of darkness).
