I don't have everything that I want, but I do have all I need.
I woke up with some aches and pains, but I woke up.

"you can't always get what you want, But if you try sometimes you just might find
You get what you need"

saw this on a church sign once and thought it was good:

"he who angers you, controls you"

In terms of my career, I tried to hold to this paraphrase of Cicero:

Do not be deceived into believing that your advancement depends upon crushing others.

-------------------

Unfortunately, I often worked with people who did not take this view.

You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.
