For the current times, I tend to go by this quote.
Live like tomorrow is the last day, Love like there is no tomorrow, Laugh until you can laugh no more, and dance daily with the one you love.
Don't ever think the reason I am peaceful is because I do not know how to be violent.
Ekki hugsa alltaf að ég sé friðsælt vegna þess að ég veit ekki hvernig á að vera ofbeldi.

"The purpose of our lives is to be happy."
— Dalai Lama

IF your talking about the 14th, his full quote is “I believe the very purpose of our life is to
seek
happiness. Whether one believes in religion or not, whether one believes in that religion or this religion, we are all seeking something better in life. So, I think, the very motion of our life is towards happiness...” Dalai Lama XIV, The Art of Happiness in a Troubled World
He said later (I'm paraphrasing here) that what many people do not consider is that seeking happiness and achieving it is two different animals. They think if they are not happy, they failed. But if they are seeking happiness, they can not be a failure if they are currently not happy. Its a journey, not a goal.

I've always been an optimist, so I love this quote from John Lennon:
"When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life.
When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up.
I wrote down 'happy'.
They told me I didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life."
Who's the cat that won't cop out when there's danger all about?
