I've been working on some wall decals for my house and I've been trying to find a quote that I'd be okay reading every day when I wake up in the morning without ripping it down ie. nothing perky and nothing that tells me I should dance and sing and be happy. I've thought about quoting dr. seuss, but idk.... Favorite quotes?

... And then the Prince Knelt Down and tried to put the Glass Slipper on Cinderella's Foot by Judith Viorst
I really didn't notice that he had a funny nose.
And he certainly looked better dressed up in fancy clothes.

The beauty of life is, while we cannot undo what is done,
we can see it, understand it, learn from it and change.
So that every new moment is spent not in regret, guilt, fear or anger,
but in wisdom, understanding and love.
