I couldn't find a print (which would be really neat!), but there is a nifty magnet with this image: http://www.addconsults.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=793&osCsid=b4c3cf3fef652d971aa11ca4c9dd3645.

we had this on our fridge, it is my wife's philosophy of life. the magnet was produced by ephemera inc. and it is four bucks online at their site www.ephemera-inc.com. I googled the phrase and found a couple of different versions of it.
