Even in the mud and scum of things, something always, always sings.

Even on the bad days, there’s always something good you can do.

No matter how corrupt, greedy, and heartless our government, our corporations, our media, and our religious & charitable institutions may become, the music will still be wonderful.

However bad life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at. Where there's life, there's hope.

where there is no more hope, song remains.

However difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at.

Anything worth thinking about is worth singing about.

No matter how bad things are, you can always make them worse.

Um livro por pior que seja tem sempre algo de bom.

do as much as you can for as many as you can, every day. Even on the bad days, there’s always something good you can do.

when things are really bad
the only thing to do is laugh

No matter how bad things are, you can always make things worse. At the same time, it is often within your power to make them better

There's gon' be some stuff you gon' see
that's gon' make it hard to smile in the future.
But through whatever you see,
through all the rain and the pain,
you gotta keep your sense of humor.
You gotta be able to smile through all this bullshit.
Remember that.

Even when the winds of misfortune blow, amazing things can still happen.
