"Holding on to anything is like holding on to your breath. You will suffocate. The only way to get anything in the physical universe is by letting go of it. Let go and it will be yours forever." 
-Deepak Chopra
"Trying creates impossibilities, letting go creates what is desired." 
-Stalking Wolf
"The Tao Te Ching says, When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be. When I let go of what I have, I receive what I need. Have you ever struggled to find work or love, only to find them after you have given up? This is the paradox of letting go. Let go, in order to achieve. Letting go is God's law."
-Mary Manin Morrissey
"Letting go doesn't mean we don't care. Letting go doesn't mean we shut down. Letting go means we stop trying to force outcomes and make people behave. It means we give up resistance to the way things are, for the moment. It means we stop trying to do the impossible--controlling that which we cannot--and instead, focus on what is possible--which usually means taking care of ourselves. And we do this in gentleness, kindness, and love, as much as possible." 
-Melody Beattie
“To live in this world, you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go.” 
-Mary Oliver
"It's funny that we think the mind is going to help us figure out how to become happier or enlightened, when the opposite is true. We're so busy listening to it that we miss what's here in the moment, which is the only place where life can be experienced. And the mind is so clever at convincing us that the moment is not 'where it's at' but in some fantasy or idea. It is so ironic. What a funny Mystery this is!" 
-Nirmala
"Let go of your expectations. The universe will do what it will. Sometimes your dreams will come true. Sometimes they won't. Sometimes when you let go of a broken dream, another one gently takes its place. Be aware of what is, not what you would like to be, taking place." 
-Melody Beattie
"In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on."
-Robert Frost
"Only to the extent that we expose ourselves over and over to annihilation can that which is indestructible be found in us... It was all about letting go of everything." 
-Pema Chödrön
“In the end these things matter most: How well did you love? How fully did you live? How deeply did you let go?”
-Gautama Buddha
“Those who don't know how to suffer are the worst off. There are times when the only correct thing we can do is to bear out troubles until a better day.” 
-Deng Ming-Dao
