Many years ago I heard this and I can't give the appropriate citing, but:
Happiness is not having what you want, but wanting what you have.
Happiness is not having what you want, but wanting what you have.
Don't know who said it, but this is still my favorite after many years:
"Life is what happens while you are busy making plans".

Under my picture in my 1964 high school yearbook the yearbook staff wrote:
"Life's a jest and all things show it. I thought so once but now I know it."
It's been my mantra ever since, along with:
“Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive.”

There are 10^11 stars in the galaxy. That used to be a huge number. But it's only a hundred billion. It's less than the national deficit! We used to call them astronomical numbers. Now we should call them economical numbers. Richard P. Feynman

I think that my have been the renowned American philosopher Sheryl Crow (Soak Up the Sun). At least that's who I heard it from.
"It is not our abilities that show what we truly are. It is our choices.” Professor Albus Dumbledore. This line hit me hard all those years ago and has stayed with me ever since.
well, the first time I heard that was 1989 (it was transformative) and Soak Up The Sun wasn't released until 2002. I'm just sayin'
Yeah, I kind of figured Sheryl might not have been the original author.
Another one that I read a year later:
"Once we truly know that life is difficult-once we truly understand and accept it-then life is no longer difficult." M. Scott Peck.
