The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young.
Henry Ford
Let us live while we live.
Philip Doddridge
Life… is like a box of chocolates – a cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that no one ever asks for, unreturnable because all you get back is another box of chocolates. So, you’re stuck with mostly undefinable whipped mint crap, mindlessly wolfed down when there’s nothing else to eat while you’re watching the game. Sure, once is a while you get a peanut butter cup or an English toffee but it’s gone too fast and the taste is fleeting. In the end, you are left with nothing but broken bits filled with hardened jelly and teeth-shattering nuts, which, if you are desperate enough to eat, leaves nothing but an empty box of useless brown paper.
The X-Files
You must understand the whole of life, not just one little part of it. That is why you must read, that is why you must look at the skies, that is why you must sing and dance, and write poems, and suffer, and understand, for all that is life.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
My momma always said life was like a box of chocolates…you never know what you’re gonna get.
Forrest Gump
Life seems nothing more than a quick succession of busy nothings.
From the movie Mansfield Park
The purpose of life is to be defeated by greater and greater things
Rainer Maria Rilke
The purpose of life is to fight maturity.
Dick Werthimer
Don’t be afraid of death so much as an inadequate life.
Bertolt Brecht
If life were predictable it would cease to be life, and be without flavor.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love and something to hope for.
Joseph Addison
Life is really about a spiritual unfolding that is personal and enchanting — an unfolding that no science or philosophy or religion has yet fully clarified.
James Redfield
Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life.
Buddha
Life is always walking up to us and saying, ‘Come on in, the living’s fine,’ and what do we do? Back off and take its picture.
Russell Baker
We only seem to learn from Life that Life doesn’t matter so much as it seemed to do — it’s not so burningly important, after all, what happens. We crawl, like blinking sea-creatures, out of the Ocean onto a spur of rock, we creep over the promontory bewildered and dazzled and hurting ourselves, then we drop in the ocean on the other side: and the little transit doesn’t matter so much.
David Herbert Lawrence
Life has taught me that it is not for our faults that we are disliked and even hated, but for our qualities.
Bernard Berenson
We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures.
Thornton Wilder
We are born crying, live complaining, and die disappointed.
Thomas Fuller
Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyways.
Anonymous
Live with passion.
Anthony Robbins
Take life as you find it, but don’t leave it that way
Anonymous
Don’t take life seriously because you can’t come out of it alive.
Warren Miller
Life is a great surprise. I don’t see why death should not be an even greater one.
Vladimir Nabokov
It’s better to be an authentic loser than a false success, and to die alive than to live dead.
William Markiewicz
To succeed in life, you need two things: ignorance and confidence.
Mark Twain
Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one’s definition of your life; define yourself.
Harvey Fierstein
Be wise in the use of time. The question in life is not how much time do we have. The question is: what shall we do with it?
Anna Robertson Brown
Just trust yourself, then you will know how to live.
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Not by gain our life is measured, But by what we’ve lost ‘Tis scored; ‘Tis not how much wine is drunken But how much has been outpoured. For the strength of love never standeth In the sacrifice we bear; He who has the greatest suffering Ever has the most to share.
Watchman Nee
Life forms illogical patterns. It is haphazard and full of beauties which I try to catch as they fly by, for who knows whether any of them will ever return?
Margot Fonteyn
