To the list of interjections you could add the Chinese "盡人事,聽天命" (do what's humanly possible and leave the rest to God's/heaven's will) or "順其自然" (let things go their natural way).

"Que sera, sera" or "what will be, will be" also works.

Thanks, this a great quote! I added it as well. Do you happen to have an original source for this? I would love to see how it looks in Sanskrit.

Gratitude is one of the (IMO) more missing traits these days. Great post and a good reminder to be grateful for the opportunities you have.
