I understand why you're saying this, but I've always hated this type of phrase. Could I suggest "the more I learn the more I find there is to learn" or something similar. The reason I'm being picky as the first is a bit too negative and/or smugly arrogant (no, I'm NOT saying you are) whereas the second just implies finding a bigger sea to swim in...

I agree.
I like this one - "Don't try to be humble, you're not that great."

I'm afraid a bearded old man won't be making a descent on a cloud to take you out of depression, whether you believe in such a literal interpretation of God or not.
You can interpret "God" as life, circumstances and other people.
The way to change your outlook is to allow yourself to open to more of that.
