If you break your neck, if you have nothing to eat, if your house is on fire, then you got a problem. Everything else is inconvenience.
~Robert Fulghum
Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.
~M. Kathleen Casey
If you're going through hell, keep going.
~Winston Churchill
We have no right to ask when sorrow comes, "Why did this happen to me?" unless we ask the same question for every moment of happiness that comes our way.
~Author Unknown
A bend in the road is not the end of the road... unless you fail to make the turn.
~Author Unknown

~Ralph Waldo Emerson
You can't run away from trouble. There ain't no place that far.
~Uncle Remus
Enduring habits I hate.... Yes, at the very bottom of my soul I feel grateful to all my misery and bouts of sickness and everything about me that is imperfect, because this sort of thing leaves me with a hundred backdoors through which I can escape from enduring habits.
~Friedrich Nietzsche, The Gay Science, 1882

~Oliver Wendell Holmes
The healthy and strong individual is the one who asks for help when he needs it. Whether he's got an abscess on his knee or in his soul.
~Rona Barrett
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers.
~Garth Brooks
Some luck lies in not getting what you thought you wanted but getting what you have, which once you have got it you may be smart enough to see is what you would have wanted had you known.
~Garrison Keillor
Who will tell whether one happy moment of love or the joy of breathing or walking on a bright morning and smelling the fresh air, is not worth all the suffering and effort which life implies. ~Erich Fromm
I ask not for a lighter burden, but for broader shoulders.
~Jewish Proverb
Birds sing after a storm; why shouldn't people feel as free to delight in whatever remains to them?
~Rose F. Kennedy
You have come into a hard world. I know of only one easy place in it, and that is the grave. ~Henry Ward Beecher
