Slogans And Quotes That Get You Through The Rough Patches

[Eleanor]

"Good Luck, Bad Luck. It's hard to tell."

 

[p-no]

What has really helped me is maintain some sense of humor (although strange for others at times). Well, one quote I love and that has helped through many rough patches is this:

“Follow your passion. Stay true to yourself. Never follow someone else's path unless you're in the woods and you're lost and you see a path. By all means, you should follow that.”

Ellen DeGeneres

Oh, and by the way, reading webpages full of Ellen DeGeneres quotes has helped me tremendously because I will just laugh and laugh and laugh. :hilarious:

'Is it kind, is it true, is it necessary?'

I use this quote when dealing with people.

 

[Suchafnldy2]

There are two quotes that I often think of when I am having a hard time.

"Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength" (I have no idea who to credit for this)

The other is by Marianne Williamson and it's from her book "A Return to Love".

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us."

desiderata - by max ehrmann

Go placidly amid the noise and haste,and remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible,without surrender,be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others,even to the dull and the ignorant,they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons,they are vexations to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others,you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career,however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals,and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially,do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love,for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is perennial as the grass.

Take kindly to the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline,be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe,no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you,no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,whatever you conceive Him to be,and whatever your labors and aspirations,in the noisy confusion of life,keep peace in your soul.

With all its sham,drudgery and broken dreams,it is still a beautiful world.

Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
