Answer 4

I like both your quotes.  Something that has helped me is "Today only happens once in a lifetime. Make the most of it."  You can find some more quotes at www.alternativeeducationbible.com and you can even submit some quotes to them for publicaton.

Answer 5

"This too shall pass" can't be surpassed.

However, I think of myself as a strong person and remember that "The tough get going when the going gets tough."

It is always good to think positively and face the situation.

Another good quote is "It takes courage to stand up and speak, and it takes courage to sit down and listen" which I think is more or less worded the way Abraham Lincoln said it.
