My favourite is the prayer of serenity, though I dislike the god angle so tend to omit it. I use it as an anger management/stand back and think mantra when things go a little skew whiff...
[i]
I have the strength to change the things I can
The courage to accept the things I can't
And the wisdom to know the difference[/i]

...or something like that.

Any variation on the theme:

If it was easy it wouldn't be interesting.

The longer you leave something before cleaning it, the harder it will be to clean.

Life is not a rehearsal.
How I wish I'd taken that onboard 30 years ago. Anyone know where the reset button is?

'The moment you doubt whether you can fly, you cease for ever to be able to do it' is one I've always liked...

'rubber up on any internet date' is probably more relevant and useful however...

Never pick a fight with someone carrying a knuckleduster, especially if there's more than one of them.

I'd have a few more teeth if I'd followed that one.

Old enough to know better, young enough not to care.

And Thompsons:
“Life is not a journey to the grave with intentions of arriving safely in a pretty well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming ... WOW! What a ride!”

If you can keep your head, whilst all those around you are losing theirs,
you may not have grasped the gravity of the situation.

You can shear a sheep many times, but you can only skin it once.

Life is a journey not a destination.

It's all part of the fun. (My riding mates reckon they're having this on my tombstone. I must say it a lot, especially when slogging through snow/rain/mud/headwinds/up hills)

It's what you do that matters: not what you have.

If its got tyres or tits it'll be expensive.

Life isn't like washing the car, you can't leave it till next weekend.

Don't get too stressed about work stuff. It's all just a game. *.

* applies more to corporate life than working for a SME.
