Dont know if I responded here yet... but Marcus Aurelius makes much sense. If we could all live to be Stoics, it would be a better place.

- You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.
- The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.
- Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.
- Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.
- If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.
- When you arise in the morning think of what a privilege it is to be alive, to think, to enjoy, to love ..
- The best revenge is to be unlike him who performed the injury
- Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together,but do so with all your heart
- If it is not right do not do it; if it is not true do not say it.

And my favorite...

- Anything in any way beautiful derives its beauty from itself and asks nothing beyond itself. Praise is no part of it, for nothing is made worse or better by praise.

I don't think most of us have power of our minds... It would be nice, though.
