"It is not impermanence that makes us suffer. What makes us suffer is wanting things to be permanent when they are not."

Thick Nhat Hanh

“There are many ways to calm a negative energy without suppressing or fighting it. You recognize it, you smile to it, and you invite something nicer to come up and replace it; you read some inspiring words, you listen to a piece of beautiful music, you go somewhere in nature, or you do some walking meditation.”

Thich Nhat Hanh

"All conditioned things are impermanent. When one sees this with wisdom, one turns away from suffering."

-Budda

Dalai Lama

“Be content with what you have;
rejoice in the way things are.
When you realize there is nothing lacking,
the whole world belongs to you.

 Lao Tzu

“It’s hard to translate it exactly, but the closest word is chokkshay, which is a very deep and spiritual word that means ‘the knowledge of enough.’ It basically means that right here, right now, everything is perfect as it is, regardless of what you are experiencing outside.”

Dr. Dorji Wangchuk, Himalayas of Eastern Bhutan

“Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough.”
