    "Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do"

    ^I got it in a fortune cookie. John Wooden said it. I'm perpetually broken and working around injuries so its become a mantra. Just because I can't run doesnt mean I can't bike, so I do.

    “When nothing seems to help, I go look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before.” - Jacob Riis.

    “Don't be ashamed to weep; 'tis right to grieve. Tears are only water, and flowers, trees, and fruit cannot grow without water. But there must be sunlight also. A wounded heart will heal in time, and when it does, the memory and love of our lost ones is sealed inside to comfort us.” -― Brian Jacques, Taggerung

    I found this one after my mom died, and liked it.

    That's beautiful.

    To be honest there are too many to quote...

    On the other hand, there is a song lyric segment I normally follow easily, but not lately. I need to get back to following it.
