Greetings

RE: Greetings
Popularised by Matthew Henry (1662-1714), English Presbyterian minister and writer, though the proverb has no clear origin (it's certainly not from the bible but was probably inspired by Bible verses, possibly Matthew 13:13 (“Therefore I speak to them in parables: because they seeing see not…”) or Jeremiah 5:21 (“Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not…”)

I prefer this arrangement (like your example, not intended to be directed towards anyone:

“None so empty as those who are full of themselves.”
--Benjamin Whichcote (1609–1683)

(Source and wording for both proverbs)
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
