Are you religious? If so, I always liked "God does not give you more than you can handle." He knows you are awesome and can handle it, even if you don't.

If you aren't religious, what about "You have to have rain to appreciate rainbows"...?

Answer 8

There's that poster that is called, "Don't quit, " and inspires people to never give up when another blow might fell the tree for example and tells people to rest for awhile but don't quit...read on ...

When things go wrong as they sometimes will.

When the road you’re trudging seems all up hill.

When funds are low and the debts are high.

And you want to smile, but you have to sigh.

When care is pressing you down a bit.

Rest, if you must, but don’t you quit.

Life is q***r with its twists and turns.

As everyone of us sometimes learns.

And many a failure turns about.

When he might have won had he stuck it out:

Don’t give up though the pace seems slow –

You may succeed with another blow.

Success is failure turned inside out –

The silver tint of the clouds of doubt

And you never can tell how close you are.

It may be near when it seems so far:

So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit –

It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.

Answer 10

Don't sweat the small stuff! Things could be worse

Answer 11

Try not to become a man of success but a man of value.

If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be.

Now put foundations under them.

The best way to cheer yourself is to try to cheer someone else up.

May you always have work for your hands to do.

May your pockets hold always a coin or two.

May the sun shine bright on your windowpane.

May the rainbow be certain to follow each rain.

May the hand of a friend always be near you.

And may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.

We all live with the objective of being happy; our lives are all different and yet the same.

Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadows.

he world is so full of a number of things, I'm sure we should all be as happy as kings.

Happiness comes to those who are moving toward something they want very much to happen. And it almost always involves making someone else happy.

The sun does not shine for a few trees and flowers, but for the wide world's joy.

Cheerfulness is a very great help in fostering the virtue of charity. Cheerfulness itself is a virtue.

Inner sunshine warms not only the heart of the owner, but all who come in contact with it.

Cheerfulness is full of significance: it suggests good health, a clear conscience, and a soul at peace with all human nature.

The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up.

People are always good company when they are doing what they really enjoy.

Cheerfulness is the best promoter of health and is as friendly to the mind as to the body.

I hope that will cheer you up!

Answer 12

It can always be worse!  That always helps me.  I always think of the worst thing that could happen to me.  And i say well at least that didnt happen!  And i make myself ashamed when I feel bad about stupid things because someone always has it worse.  You lost a girlfriend/boyfriend?  Who cares?  People in Africa are losing their lives slowly and painfully.

Answer 13

Tragedies happen. What are you gonna do -- Give up, quit? ...No. I realize now that when your heart breaks, you got to fight like h**l to make sure your still alive. Cause you are. That pain you feel -- thats life. The confusion and fear -- thats there to remind you that somewhere out there is something better. And that something is worth fighting for."

Answer 14

My favorite quote is kinda simple but it's usually just the thing to help me remember it's gonna be ok....

This too shall pass.

Really, everything is bigger as it is happening. Try to think of how much the current event that has you stressed out will really matter in 6 months or a year. Usually, that is enough to motivate me and get through. Best of luck to you!

I am sad to see you are not firing on all cylinders.

Sometimes, it helps to help someone else or try doing something new, have a bubble bath, go for a walk, if that is possible and safe, talk to a friend, go out for coffee, join a club.  

If you are really down. perhaps a visit to your doctor is called for.

LIFE BE IN IT.  THIS IS NOT A DRESS REHEARSAL.

Good luck
