Two that have brought me comfort in difficult times:
"Don't carry the world upon your shoulders." -- from Hey Jude.
"You can't please everyone. Got to please yourself." -- Garden Party by Rick Nelson.
Any you care to share?

"Don't start to hit me with your 'no can do'
Bluesin', losin', workin' up an attitude
Clean up them windows let the sun shine through
Uh huh? uh huh?
There ain't no happy time without no pain
Heartbreak, new date, move on up the alleyway
Pick up them pieces hit the road again
Uh huh?
The world is what you make it
The world is what you make it baby
The world is what you make it"
---Paul Brady "The World is What You Make It"

I might be good as buried
But I'm still here"

Despite never really having been a huge John Lennon fan, I do regularly quote a line from his song Beautiful Boy.
"Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans."

"Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans." Absolutely, one I have quoted many, many times.

It's not far, not hard to reach Can I hitch a ride to Rockaway Beach?
That's not the exact lyric. Should be "we can hitch a ride to Rockaway Beach," but I always hear it as a metaphorical question. Puts a bit of a lump in my throat because maybe you can go to Rockaway, or maybe it's something for other people. I'm absolutely certain that's not what the Ramones meant. My shrink also thinks I'm nuts.
On a more cheerful note, I also like:
"C'est la vie, say the old folks/It goes to show you never can tell!"

(Music by French songwriters Claude François and Jacques Revaux) Didn't want to steal anyone's thunder. Just thought the quote was a good life lyric.

Besides lyrics to Christian songs, these words from Dan Fogelberg's Netherlands have always stuck with me.
Once in a vision I came on some woods And stood at a fork in the road My choices were clear Yet I froze with the fear Of not knowing which way to go
One road was simple Acceptance of life The other road offered sweet peace When I made my decision My vision became my release

A lot of people u see around and about bring to mind FZ"s 'Plastic people, oh baby now you're such a drag." When i go home to my wife it is much more positive than that. At the very least "hello old friend". Often more like "Well my heart went boom when I crossed that room and i held her hand in mine".

I always thought that was a great line too. Disappointed to read that Lennon nicked it from a guy by the name of Allen Saunders. From a Reader's Digest.

Living easy, living free Season ticket on a one-way ride Asking nothing, leave me be Taking everything in my stride Don't need reason, don't need rhyme Ain't nothing I would rather do Going down, party time My friends are gonna be there too I'm on the highway to hell On the highway to hell Highway to hell I'm on the highway to hell
