What’s your funny favorite saying for tough times?

Posted by methel @methel, Jul 11, 2025

When things are tough, I try to laugh a little to boost my spirits. These are my favorite spirit-booster sayings, which I repeat as necessary:
“When the going gets tough, the tough go shopping.”

And “When you are going through he**, keep going.”

I can get through this, Ohers have, I will too.

Life sucks then you die.

I have said that my entire adult life. It usually gets other people to sit up and stop whining. It makes me smile. It's true too. Life is hard and we have to do a lot of things we rather not do and that can suck.
