A few quotes that help me in difficult times:

"It is important to expect nothing, to take every experience, including the negative ones, as merely steps on the path, and to proceed." -- Ram Dass

"Let go of the battle. Breathe quietly and let it be. Let your body relax and your heart soften. Open to whatever you experience without fighting." -- Jack Kornfield

"Life always gives us exactly the teacher we need at every moment. This includes every mosquito, every misfortune, every red light, every traffic jam, every obnoxious supervisor (or employee), every illness, every loss, every moment of joy or depression, every addiction, every piece of garbage, every breath. Every moment is the guru." -- Joko Beck
