Do not be so distracted by what is going wrong, that you forget everything that is going right.
I LOVE quotes... I will just list a few favorites.

Life is mostly froth and bubble,
two things stand like stone.
Kindness in another's troubles,
courage in your own.

Three quotes from Steve Jobs I like:
"Things don’t have to change the world to be important."
"Details matter, it’s worth waiting to get it right."
"Deciding what not to do is as important as deciding what to do."
My favorit quote is from John Wooden:
"If You Don’t Have Time to Do It Right, When Will You Have Time to Do It Over?"

' The great question that has never been answered, and which I have not yet been able to answer, despite my thirty years of research into the feminine soul, is 'What does a woman want? ' Sigmund Freud.

Religions give God a bad name.
Enlightened actions, virtuosity of all kinds, testify to his handiwork.

A few I like:
'Deeds not words'
'We fear naught but God'
'Behind every successful man, there is a woman with absolutely nothing to wear'
'Usually the grass is greener on the other side, because there is more manure that side'
“I love walking in the rain because no one can see me crying” - Rowan Atkinson

Chief Tecumseh wrote a poem that IMHO gives meaning to 'a code of conduct'
"So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart.
Trouble no one about their religion;
respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours.
Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life.
Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people.
Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide.
Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend,
even a stranger, when in a lonely place.
Show respect to all people and grovel to none.
When you arise in the morning give thanks for the food and for the joy of living.
If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself.
Abuse no one and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools
and robs the spirit of its vision.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled
with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep
and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way.
Sing your death song and die like a hero going home."
