A. POWELL DAVIES:

Life is just a chance to grow a soul.

 

ABRAHAM LINCOLN:

And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.

 

AGATHA CHRISTIE:

I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.

ANAIS NIN:

People living deeply have no fear of death.

The most decisive actions of our life ... are most often unconsidered actions.

Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, they're supposed to help you discover who you are.

 

BUDDHA:

If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change.

 

CARL JUNG:

There are as many nights as days, and the one is just as long as the other in the year's course. Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word 'happy' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.

 

DAVID STEINDL-RAST:

Gratefulness is the key to a happy life that we hold in our hands, because if we are not grateful, then no matter how much we have we will not be happy -- because we will always want to have something else or something more.

 

ELIE WIESEL:

The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference.

The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference.

The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference.

And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.

 

EMILY DICKINSON:

I shall not live in vain.

If I can ease one life the aching,

Or cool one pain,

Or help one fainting robin

Unto his nest again,

I shall not live in vain.

 

FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE:

And we should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once. And we should call every truth false which was not accompanied by at least one laugh.

 

GRANDMA MOSES:

Life is what you make of it. Always has been, always will be.

 

HENRI-FREDERIC AMIEL:

Life is short and we have never too much time for gladdening the hearts of those who are traveling the dark journey with us. Oh be swift to love, make haste to be kind.

 

JAMES F. BYMES:

Too many people are thinking of security instead of opportunity. They seem to be more afraid of life than death

 

LORD BYRON:

The great art of life is sensation, to feel that we exist, even in pain.

 

MATTHEW ARNOLD:

Is it so small a thing

To have enjoy'd the sun,

To have lived light in the spring,

To have loved, to have thought, to have done...

 

OSCAR WILDE:

Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. The consciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth and richness to life that nothing else can bring.

 

SOREN KIERKEGAARD:

Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.

 

THOMAS F. HEALEY:

Don't strew me with roses after I'm dead.

When Death claims the light of my brow,

No flowers of life will cheer me: instead

You may give me my roses now!

 

VICTOR FRANKL:

We can discover this meaning in life in three different ways: (1) by doing a deed; (2) by experiencing a value; and (3) by suffering.

 

WALLACE STEGNER:

Most things break, including hearts. The lessons of life amount not to wisdom, but to scar tissue and callus.
