A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.

A lot of us grow up and we grow out of the literal interpretation that we get when we're children, but we bear the scars all our life. Whether they're scars of beauty or scars of ugliness, it's pretty much in the eye of the beholder.

A well-spent day brings happy sleep.

All the art of living lies in a fine mingling of letting go and holding on.

All the breaks you need in life wait within your imagination, Imagination is the workshop of your mind, capable of turning mind energy into accomplishment and wealth.

Always fall in with what you're asked to accept. Take what is given, and make it over your way. My aim in life has always been to hold my own with whatever's going. Not against: with.

An aim in life is the only fortune worth finding.

And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

Any life is made up of a single moment, the moment in which a man finds out, once and for all, who he is.

Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young.

Apply yourself both now and in the next life. Without effort, you cannot be prosperous. Though the land be good, You cannot have an abundant crop without cultivation.

Art is the proper task of life.

Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.

As soon as there is life there is danger.

Be happy for this moment. This moment is your life.

Be true to the game, because the game will be true to you. If you try to shortcut the game, then the game will shortcut you. If you put forth the effort, good things will be bestowed upon you. That's truly about the game, and in some ways that's about life too.

Becoming a father, I think it inevitably changes your perspective of life. I don't get nearly enough sleep. And the simplest things in life are completely satisfying. I find you don't have to do as much, like you don't go on as many outings.

Begin at once to live, and count each separate day as a separate life.

Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again.

Being in control of your life and having realistic expectations about your day-to-day challenges are the keys to stress management, which is perhaps the most important ingredient to living a happy, healthy and rewarding life.

Being taken for granted can be a compliment. It means that you've become a comfortable, trusted element in another person's life.

Being yourself is one of the hardest things because it's scary. You always wonder whether you'll be accepted for who you really are. I decided to call my record 'Inside Out' because that's my motto about life. I don't think you ever succeed at trying to be anyone else but who you truly are.

Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact.

Beware the barrenness of a busy life.

Bottom line is, I didn't return to Apple to make a fortune. I've been very lucky in my life and already have one. When I was 25, my net worth was $100 million or so. I decided then that I wasn't going to let it ruin my life. There's no way you could ever spend it all, and I don't view wealth as something that validates my intelligence.

But friendship is precious, not only in the shade, but in the sunshine of life, and thanks to a benevolent arrangement the greater part of life is sunshine.

But what is happiness except the simple harmony between a man and the life he leads?

Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.

Change your life today. Don't gamble on the future, act now, without delay.

Character, in the long run, is the decisive factor in the life of an individual and of nations alike.

Children make your life important.

Choice of attention - to pay attention to this and ignore that - is to the inner life what choice of action is to the outer. In both cases, a man is responsible for his choice and must accept the consequences, whatever they may be.

Choose your life's mate carefully. From this one decision will come 90 percent of all your happiness or misery.

Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.

Constant development is the law of life, and a man who always tries to maintain his dogmas in order to appear consistent drives himself into a false position.

Creativity is a great motivator because it makes people interested in what they are doing. Creativity gives hope that there can be a worthwhile idea. Creativity gives the possibility of some sort of achievement to everyone. Creativity makes life more fun and more interesting.

Dad almost died of a heart attack in the middle of making Apocalypse Now, the biggest movie of his life. It doesn't make you want to jump into that business.

Death and life have their determined appointments riches and honors depend upon heaven.

Death is not an event in life: we do not live to experience death. If we take eternity to mean not infinite temporal duration but timelessness, then eternal life belongs to those who live in the present.

Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live.

Difficult times have helped me to understand better than before, how infinitely rich and beautiful life is in every way, and that so many things that one goes worrying about are of no importance whatsoever.

Do every act of your life as if it were your last.

Do not be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life so. Aim above morality. Be not simply good be good for something.

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive.

Do the best you can, and don't take life too serious.

Do what you love to do and give it your very best. Whether it's business or baseball, or the theater, or any field. If you don't love what you're doing and you can't give it your best, get out of it. Life is too short. You'll be an old man before you know it.

Doing what you love is the cornerstone of having abundance in your life.

Don't be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment.

Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.

Don't go through life, grow through life.

Don't ignore the past, but deal with it, on your own pace. Once you deal with it, you are free of it and you are free to embrace your life and be a happy loving person because if you don't, the past will come back to haunt and keep coming back to haunt you.

Don't let life discourage you everyone who got where he is had to begin where he was.

Don't Make Assumptions. Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.

Dreams are necessary to life.

Dreams do come true, if we only wish hard enough, You can have anything in life if you will sacrifice everything else for it.

Each person must live their life as a model for others.

Each player must accept the cards life deals him or her: but once they are in hand, he or she alone must decide how to play the cards in order to win the game.

Early in life I had to choose between honest arrogance and hypocritical humility. I chose the former and have seen no reason to change.

Education doesn't change life much. It just lifts trouble to a higher plane of regard.

Education is not preparation for life education is life itself.

Even when a person has all of life's comforts - good food, good shelter, a companion - he or she can still become unhappy when encountering a tragic situation.

Every creature is better alive than dead, men and moose and pine trees, and he who understands it aright will rather preserve its life than destroy it.

Every human is an artist. The dream of your life is to make beautiful art.

Every man dies. Not every man really lives.

Every man is the architect of his own life. He builds it just the way he wants it. However, after he has built what he wants, he sometimes decides that he doesn't like what he has built and looks for someone or something to blame instead of changing himself.

Every man's life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguish one man from another.

Every moment and every event of every man's life on earth plants something in his soul.

Every year of my life I grow more convinced that it is wisest and best to fix our attention on the beautiful and the good, and dwell as little as possible on the evil and the false.

Everyone has his own specific vocation or mission in life everyone must carry out a concrete assignment that demands fulfillment. Therein he cannot be replaced, nor can his life be repeated, thus, everyone's task is unique as his specific opportunity to implement it.

Everything has been figured out, except how to live.

Everything in life is luck.

Faith is a living, daring confidence in God's grace, so sure and certain that a man could stake his life on it a thousand times.

Faith is the first factor in a life devoted to service. Without it, nothing is possible. With it, nothing is impossible.

Faith means living with uncertainty - feeling your way through life, letting your heart guide you like a lantern in the dark.

False friendship, like the ivy, decays and ruins the walls it embraces but true friendship gives new life and animation to the object it supports.

Fathers should be neither seen nor heard. That is the only proper basis for family life.

Find ecstasy in life the mere sense of living is joy enough.

Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a certain poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. Because it's only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you realize your true potential.

For if there is a sin against life, it consists perhaps not so much in despairing of life as in hoping for another life and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this life.

For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one.

For me life is continuously being hungry. The meaning of life is not simply to exist, to survive, but to move ahead, to go up, to achieve, to conquer.

For the happiest life, days should be rigorously planned, nights left open to chance.

For the meaning of life differs from man to man, from day to day and from hour to hour. What matters, therefore, is not the meaning of life in general but rather the specific meaning of a person's life at a given moment.

Fortunately analysis is not the only way to resolve inner conflicts. Life itself still remains a very effective therapist.

Frazier is so ugly that he should donate his face to the US Bureau of Wild Life.

Freedom is never dear at any price. It is the breath of life. What would a man not pay for living?

Freedom means you are unobstructed in living your life as you choose. Anything less is a form of slavery.

Friends are as companions on a journey, who ought to aid each other to persevere in the road to a happier life.

Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

Get correct views of life, and learn to see the world in its true light. It will enable you to live pleasantly, to do good, and, when summoned away, to leave without regret.

Give me the luxuries of life and I will willingly do without the necessities.

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.

God gave us the gift of life it is up to us to give ourselves the gift of living well.

Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.

Gratitude helps you to grow and expand gratitude brings joy and laughter into your life and into the lives of all those around you.

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.

Haters never win. I just think that's true about life, because negative energy always costs in the end.

Having Down syndrome is like being born normal. I am just like you and you are just like me. We are all born in different ways, that is the way I can describe it. I have a normal life.

He who binds to himself a joy Does the winged life destroy But he who kisses the joy as it flies Lives in eternity's sun rise.

He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. Is not life a hundred times too short for us to bore ourselves?

He who has a why to live can bear almost any how.

He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.

He who is not everyday conquering some fear has not learned the secret of life.

He who is void of virtuous attachments in private life is, or very soon will be, void of all regard for his country. There is seldom an instance of a man guilty of betraying his country, who had not before lost the feeling of moral obligations in his private connections.

Here is the test to find whether your mission on Earth is finished: if you're alive, it isn't.

Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly.

Holding on to anger, resentment and hurt only gives you tense muscles, a headache and a sore jaw from clenching your teeth. Forgiveness gives you back the laughter and the lightness in your life.

Home life is no more natural to us than a cage is natural to a cockatoo.

How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will have been all of these.

I always like to look on the optimistic side of life, but I am realistic enough to know that life is a complex matter.

I am a woman in process. I'm just trying like everybody else. I try to take every conflict, every experience, and learn from it. Life is never dull.

I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.

I bear a charmed life.

I believe that a simple and unassuming manner of life is best for everyone, best both for the body and the mind.

I believe that if life gives you lemons, you should make lemonade... And try to find somebody whose life has given them vodka, and have a party.

I blame my mother for my poor sex life. All she told me was 'the man goes on top and the woman underneath.' For three years my husband and I slept in bunk beds.

I can't really change my life to accommodate people who are jealous. I don't see why I should.

I cannot even imagine where I would be today were it not for that handful of friends who have given me a heart full of joy. Let's face it, friends make life a lot more fun.

I challenge you to make your life a masterpiece. I challenge you to join the ranks of those people who live what they teach, who walk their talk.

I did not direct my life. I didn't design it. I never made decisions. Things always came up and made them for me. That's what life is.

I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.

I do not regret one moment of my life.

I don't believe in an afterlife, so I don't have to spend my whole life fearing hell, or fearing heaven even more. For whatever the tortures of hell, I think the boredom of heaven would be even worse.

I don't believe in guilt, I believe in living on impulse as long as you never intentionally hurt another person, and don't judge people in your life. I think you should live completely free.

I don't believe people are looking for the meaning of life as much as they are looking for the experience of being alive.

I don't have expectations. Expectations in your life just lead to giant disappointments.

I don't think I could live without hair, makeup and styling, let alone be the performer I am. I am a glamour girl through and through. I believe in the glamorous life and I live one.

I don't think I've ever worked so hard on something, but working on Macintosh was the neatest experience of my life. Almost everyone who worked on it will say that. None of us wanted to release it at the end. It was as though we knew that once it was out of our hands, it wouldn't be ours anymore.

I don't think you ever stop giving. I really don't. I think it's an on-going process. And it's not just about being able to write a check. It's being able to touch somebody's life.

I had no blood relatives till I made some.

I hated every minute of training, but I said, 'Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.'

I have a lot of things to prove to myself. One is that I can live my life fearlessly.

I have a loyalty that runs in my bloodstream, when I lock into someone or something, you can't get me away from it because I commit that thoroughly. That's in friendship, that's a deal, that's a commitment. Don't give me paper - I can get the same lawyer who drew it up to break it. But if you shake my hand, that's for life.

I have a simple philosophy: Fill what's empty. Empty what's full. Scratch where it itches.

I have been up against tough competition all my life. I wouldn't know how to get along without it.

I have dreamed in my life, dreams that have stayed with me ever after, and changed my ideas they have gone through and through me, like wine through water, and altered the color of my mind.

I have found it easier to identify with the characters who verge upon hysteria, who were frightened of life, who were desperate to reach out to another person. But these seemingly fragile people are the strong people really.

I have found that if you love life, life will love you back.

I have inspiration and feelings of being alive most every day I live.

I have spent many years of my life in opposition, and I rather like the role.

I haven't lived a perfect life. I have regrets. But that's from a lifetime of taking chances, making decisions, and trying not to be frozen. The only thing that I can do with my regrets is understand them.

I just don't know how to deal with so many people giving me that much affection. I never had that in my life.

I just got one last thing, I urge all of you, all of you, to enjoy your life, the precious moments you have. To spend each day with some laughter and some thought, to get you're emotions going.

I know in my heart that man is good. That what is right will always eventually triumph. And there's purpose and worth to each and every life.

I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by conscious endeavor.

I lead no party I follow no leader. I have given the best part of my life to careful study of Islam, its law and polity, its culture, its history and its literature.

I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities.

I like people that enjoy life, 'cause I do the same.

I like the idea of being alone. I like the idea of often being alone in all aspects of my life. I like to feel lonely. I like to need things.

I look back on my life like a good day's work, it was done and I am satisfied with it.

I love life because what more is there?

I love those who yearn for the impossible.

I never regret anything. Because every little detail of your life is what made you into who you are in the end.

I never thought of losing, but now that it' s happened, the only thing is to do it right. That's my obligation to all the people who believe in me. We all have to take defeats in life.

I put all my genius into my life I put only my talent into my works.

I really don't think life is about the I-could-have-beens. Life is only about the I-tried-to-do. I don't mind the failure but I can't imagine that I'd forgive myself if I didn't try.

I really haven't had that exciting of a life. There are a lot of things I wish I would have done, instead of just sitting around and complaining about having a boring life. So I pretty much like to make it up. I'd rather tell a story about somebody else.

I remember a specific moment, watching my grandmother hang the clothes on the line, and her saying to me, 'you are going to have to learn to do this,' and me being in that space of awareness and knowing that my life would not be the same as my grandmother's life.

I should have no objection to go over the same life from its beginning to the end: requesting only the advantage authors have, of correcting in a second edition the faults of the first.

I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy.

I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see.

I take a simple view of life. It is keep your eyes open and get on with it.

I take care of my flowers and my cats. And enjoy food. And that's living.

I think I've discovered the secret of life - you just hang around until you get used to it.

I think togetherness is a very important ingredient to family life.

I want to live my life so that my nights are not full of regrets.

I want to wake up every day and do whatever comes in my mind, and not feel pressure or obligations to do anything else in my life.

I was set free because my greatest fear had been realized, and I still had a daughter who I adored, and I had an old typewriter and a big idea. And so rock bottom became a solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life.

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.

I wish to preach, not the doctrine of ignoble ease, but the doctrine of the strenuous life.

I would say my greatest achievement in life right now - my greatest achievement period is - and I'm still trying to achieve it - is to be a wonderful father to my kids.

I'd like to be settled into somewhat of a normal life. Somewhat. I know it's never going to be completely normal.

I'll always stay connected with Apple. I hope that throughout my life I'll sort of have the thread of my life and the thread of Apple weave in and out of each other, like a tapestry. There may be a few years when I'm not there, but I'll always come back.

I'm at the age where food has taken the place of sex in my life. In fact, I've just had a mirror put over my kitchen table.

I'm back to doing everything I used to, loving life as ever.

I'm most proud of the blessings that God has bestowed upon me, in my life. He's given me the vision to truly see that you can fall down, but you can still get back up. Hopefully I'll learn from my mistakes and have the opportunity to strengthen and improve the next thing I do.

I'm not an example for how people should live their lives. Never in my life would I ever set out to be an example for people on how to live their lives. If you need an example for how to live, then you just shouldn't have been born. Straight up.

I'm not going to change the way I look or the way I feel to conform to anything. I've always been a freak. So I've been a freak all my life and I have to live with that, you know. I'm one of those people.

I'm not one of those complicated, mixed-up cats. I'm not looking for the secret to life... I just go on from day to day, taking what comes.

I'm so glad I never feel important, it does complicate life!

I've always taken 'The Wizard of Oz' very seriously, you know. I believe in the idea of the rainbow. And I've spent my entire life trying to get over it.

I've been absolutely terrified every moment of my life - and I've never let it keep me from doing a single thing I wanted to do.

I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands you need to be able to throw something back.

I've made some great mistakes in my life, but, you know, they were honest mistakes.

I've reached a point in my life where it's the little things that matter... I was always a rebel and probably could have got much farther had I changed my attitude. But when you think about it, I got pretty far without changing attitudes. I'm happier with that.

If a man can bridge the gap between life and death, if he can live on after he's dead, then maybe he was a great man.

If a man neglects education, he walks lame to the end of his life.

If anyone is crazy enough to want to kill a president of the United States, he can do it. All he must be prepared to do is give his life for the president's.

If I had to live my life again, I'd make the same mistakes, only sooner.

If I have any worth, it is to live my life for God so as to teach these peoples even though some of them still look down on me.

If I knew for a certainty that a man was coming to my house with the conscious design of doing me good, I should run for my life.

If I were to say, 'God, why me?' about the bad things, then I should have said, 'God, why me?' about the good things that happened in my life.

If life were predictable it would cease to be life, and be without flavor.

If there is only one thing in my life that I am proud of, it's that I've never been a kept woman.

If there's not drama and negativity in my life, all my songs will be really wack and boring or something.

If we don't know life, how can we know death?

If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast.

If you are not too long, I will wait here for you all my life.

If you can dream it, then you can achieve it. You will get all you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want.

If you have no confidence in self, you are twice defeated in the race of life.

If you have no confidence in self, you are twice defeated in the race of life. With confidence, you have won even before you have started.

If you live long enough, you'll make mistakes. But if you learn from them, you'll be a better person. It's how you handle adversity, not how it affects you. The main thing is never quit, never quit, never quit.

If you love life, don't waste time, for time is what life is made up of.

If you plan on being anything less than you are capable of being, you will probably be unhappy all the days of your life.

Imagination and fiction make up more than three quarters of our real life.

Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions.

In life you need either inspiration or desperation.

In married life three is company and two none.

In modern life nothing produces such an effect as a good platitude. It makes the whole world kin.

In poverty and other misfortunes of life, true friends are a sure refuge. The young they keep out of mischief to the old they are a comfort and aid in their weakness, and those in the prime of life they incite to noble deeds.

In the course of my life, I have often had to eat my words, and I must confess that I have always found it a wholesome diet.

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

In the last analysis, the individual person is responsible for living his own life and for 'finding himself.' If he persists in shifting his responsibility to somebody else, he fails to find out the meaning of his own existence.

In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on.

Is life not a thousand times too short for us to bore ourselves?

It is a bit embarrassing to have been concerned with the human problem all one's life and find at the end that one has no more to offer by way of advice than 'try to be a little kinder.'

It is a common saying, and in everybody's mouth, that life is but a sojourn.

It is best to rise from life as from a banquet, neither thirsty nor drunken.

It is better to create than to learn! Creating is the essence of life.

It is by going down into the abyss that we recover the treasures of life. Where you stumble, there lies your treasure.

It is normal to give away a little of one's life in order not to lose it all.

It is not doing the thing we like to do, but liking the thing we have to do, that makes life blessed.

It is not length of life, but depth of life.

It is one of the beautiful compensations in this life that no one can sincerely try to help another without helping himself.

It takes half your life before you discover life is a do-it-yourself project.

It was once said that the moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly and those who are in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy and the handicapped.

It's a funny thing about life if you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get it.

It's all about quality of life and finding a happy balance between work and friends and family.

It's surprising how many persons go through life without ever recognizing that their feelings toward other people are largely determined by their feelings toward themselves, and if you're not comfortable within yourself, you can't be comfortable with others.

It's the game of life. Do I win or do I lose? One day they're gonna shut the game down. I gotta have as much fun and go around the board as many times as I can before it's my turn to leave.

Judgments, value judgments concerning life, for or against, can in the last resort never be true: they possess value only as symptoms, they come into consideration only as symptoms - in themselves such judgments are stupidities.

Just when I think I have learned the way to live, life changes.

Justice in the life and conduct of the State is possible only as first it resides in the hearts and souls of the citizens.

Kindness, I've discovered, is everything in life.

Learn to get in touch with the silence within yourself, and know that everything in life has purpose. There are no mistakes, no coincidences, all events are blessings given to us to learn from.

Let everyone try and find that as a result of daily prayer he adds something new to his life, something with which nothing can be compared.

Let us beware of saying that death is the opposite of life. The living being is only a species of the dead, and a very rare species.

Let us put our minds together and see what life we can make for our children.

Life all comes down to a few moments. This is one of them.

Life and death are one thread, the same line viewed from different sides.

Life appears to me too short to be spent in nursing animosity, or registering wrongs.

Life becomes harder for us when we live for others, but it also becomes richer and happier.

Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.

Life belongs to the living, and he who lives must be prepared for changes.

Life can be pulled by goals just as surely as it can be pushed by drives.

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

Life consists in what a man is thinking of all day.

Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well.

Life contains but two tragedies. One is not to get your heart's desire the other is to get it.

Life could be wonderful if people would leave you alone.

Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.

Life every man holds dear but the dear man holds honor far more precious dear than life.

Life has a higher end, than to be amused.

Life has its own hidden forces which you can only discover by living.

Life has meaning only if one barters it day by day for something other than itself.

Life imitates art far more than art imitates Life.

Life in abundance comes only through great love.

Life is 10 percent what you make it, and 90 percent how you take it.

Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.

Life is a culmination of the past, an awareness of the present, an indication of a future beyond knowledge, the quality that gives a touch of divinity to matter.

Life is a dream for the wise, a game for the fool, a comedy for the rich, a tragedy for the poor.

Life is a gamble. You can get hurt, but people die in plane crashes, lose their arms and legs in car accidents people die every day. Same with fighters: some die, some get hurt, some go on. You just don't let yourself believe it will happen to you.

Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more.

Life is a great sunrise. I do not see why death should not be an even greater one.

Life is a long lesson in humility.

Life is a lot like jazz... it's best when you improvise.

Life is a mirror and will reflect back to the thinker what he thinks into it.

Life is a moderately good play with a badly written third act.

Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death.

Life is a series of collisions with the future it is not the sum of what we have been, but what we yearn to be.

Life is a series of experiences, each one of which makes us bigger, even though sometimes it is hard to realize this. For the world was built to develop character, and we must learn that the setbacks and grieves which we endure help us in our marching onward.

Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them - that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.

Life is a song - sing it. Life is a game - play it. Life is a challenge - meet it. Life is a dream - realize it. Life is a sacrifice - offer it. Life is love - enjoy it.

Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood.

Life is a succession of moments, to live each one is to succeed.

Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot.

Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next.

Life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quickly you hardly catch it going.

Life is an exciting business, and most exciting when it is lived for others.

Life is anything that dies when you stomp on it.

Life is as tedious as twice-told tale, vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man.

Life is but thought.

Life is divided into three terms - that which was, which is, and which will be. Let us learn from the past to profit by the present, and from the present, to live better in the future.

Life is either a great adventure or nothing.

Life is essentially a cheat and its conditions are those of defeat the redeeming things are not happiness and pleasure but the deeper satisfactions that come out of struggle.

Life is far too important a thing ever to talk seriously about.

Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams.

Life is half spent before we know what it is.

Life is hard it's harder if you're stupid.

Life is hard. After all, it kills you.

Life is hard. Then you die. Then they throw dirt in your face. Then the worms eat you. Be grateful it happens in that order.

Life is just one damned thing after another.

Life is largely a matter of expectation.

Life is like a trumpet - if you don't put anything into it, you don't get anything out of it.

Life is like dancing. If we have a big floor, many people will dance. Some will get angry when the rhythm changes. But life is changing all the time.

Life is lived on the edge.

Life is made up of sobs, sniffles, and smiles, with sniffles predominating.

Life is made up, not of great sacrifices or duties, but of little things, in which smiles and kindness, and small obligations given habitually, are what preserve the heart and secure comfort.

Life is much shorter than I imagined it to be.

Life is never easy for those who dream.

Life is never fair, and perhaps it is a good thing for most of us that it is not.

Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.

Life is not an easy matter... You cannot live through it without falling into frustration and cynicism unless you have before you a great idea which raises you above personal misery, above weakness, above all kinds of perfidy and baseness.

Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something and that this thing must be attained.

Life is not fair get used to it.

Life is not what it's supposed to be. It's what it is. The way you cope with it is what makes the difference.

Life is one big road with lots of signs. So when you riding through the ruts, don't complicate your mind. Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy. Don't bury your thoughts, put your vision to reality. Wake Up and Live!

Life is only a dream and we are the imagination of ourselves.

Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome.

Life is pretty simple: You do some stuff. Most fails. Some works. You do more of what works. If it works big, others quickly copy it. Then you do something else. The trick is the doing something else.

Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.

Life is something to do when you can't get to sleep.

Life is the art of drawing sufficient conclusions from insufficient premises.

Life is the art of drawing without an eraser.

Life is to be entered upon with courage.

Life is to be lived. If you have to support yourself, you had bloody well better find some way that is going to be interesting. And you don't do that by sitting around.

Life is too short to spend hoping that the perfectly arched eyebrow or hottest new lip shade will mask an ugly heart.

Life is too short to worry about anything. You had better enjoy it because the next day promises nothing.

Life is tough, but it's tougher when you're stupid.

Life is truly known only to those who suffer, lose, endure adversity and stumble from defeat to defeat.

Life is wasted on the living.

Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans.

Life is what we make it, always has been, always will be.

Life is without meaning. You bring the meaning to it. The meaning of life is whatever you ascribe it to be. Being alive is the meaning.

Life isn't a matter of milestones, but of moments.

Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.

Life itself is the proper binge.

Life itself still remains a very effective therapist.

Life lived for tomorrow will always be just a day away from being realized.

Life loves the liver of it.

Life loves to be taken by the lapel and told: 'I'm with you kid. Let's go.'

Life must be lived and curiosity kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.

Life must be lived as play.

Life opens up opportunities to you, and you either take them or you stay afraid of taking them.

Life ought to be a struggle of desire toward adventures whose nobility will fertilize the soul.

Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.

Life stands before me like an eternal spring with new and brilliant clothes.

Life takes its path and sometimes there are people to blame. Of course there are bad people in this world. Good, bad, it happens unfortunately. But in a way I think if there was more focus on the good, more good would happen.

Life was always a matter of waiting for the right moment to act.

Life well spent is long.

Life will always be to a large extent what we ourselves make it.

Life would be infinitely happier if we could only be born at the age of eighty and gradually approach eighteen.

Life would be tolerable but for its amusements.

Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

Life's like a movie, write your own ending. Keep believing, keep pretending.

Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?'

Life's pretty good, and why wouldn't it be? I'm a pirate, after all.

Life's Tragedy is that we get old to soon and wise too late.

Live the life you've dreamed.

Loneliness adds beauty to life. It puts a special burn on sunsets and makes night air smell better.

Loneliness is my least favorite thing about life. The thing that I'm most worried about is just being alone without anybody to care for or someone who will care for me.

Look, I don't want to wax philosophic, but I will say that if you're alive you've got to flap your arms and legs, you've got to jump around a lot, for life is the very opposite of death, and therefore you must at very least think noisy and colorfully, or you're not alive.

Make it a habit to tell people thank you. To express your appreciation, sincerely and without the expectation of anything in return. Truly appreciate those around you, and you'll soon find many others around you. Truly appreciate life, and you'll find that you have more of it.

Man's real life is happy, chiefly because he is ever expecting that it soon will be so.

March on. Do not tarry. To go forward is to move toward perfection. March on, and fear not the thorns, or the sharp stones on life's path.

Maxim for life: You get treated in life the way you teach people to treat you.

May you live all the days of your life.

Maybe all one can do is hope to end up with the right regrets.

Maybe you don't like your job, maybe you didn't get enough sleep, well nobody likes their job, nobody got enough sleep. Maybe you just had the worst day of your life, but you know, there's no escape, there's no excuse, so just suck up and be nice.

Miracles, in the sense of phenomena we cannot explain, surround us on every hand: life itself is the miracle of miracles.

Most people have never learned that one of the main aims in life is to enjoy it.

My advice to people today is as follows: if you take the game of life seriously, if you take your nervous system seriously, if you take your sense organs seriously, if you take the energy process seriously, you must turn on, tune in, and drop out.

My Alma mater was books, a good library... I could spend the rest of my life reading, just satisfying my curiosity.

My family, frankly, they weren't folks who went to church every week. My mother was one of the most spiritual people I knew but she didn't raise me in the church, so I came to my Christian faith later in life and it was because the precepts of Jesus Christ spoke to me in terms of the kind of life that I would want to lead.

My focus is to forget the pain of life. Forget the pain, mock the pain, reduce it. And laugh.

My formula for living is quite simple. I get up in the morning and I go to bed at night. In between, I occupy myself as best I can.

My general attitude to life is to enjoy every minute of every day. I never do anything with a feeling of, 'Oh God, I've got to do this today.'

My life has been one great big joke, a dance that's walked a song that's spoke, I laugh so hard I almost choke when I think about myself.

My life is every moment of my life. It is not a culmination of the past.

My life is my message.

My mother wanted us to understand that the tragedies of your life one day have the potential to be comic stories the next.

My philosophy is that not only are you responsible for your life, but doing the best at this moment puts you I the best place for the next moment.

My rule of life prescribed as an absolutely sacred rite smoking cigars and also the drinking of alcohol before, after and if need be during all meals and in the intervals between them.

Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life define yourself.

Never build your emotional life on the weaknesses of others.

Never separate the life you live from the words you speak.

Never throughout history has a man who lived a life of ease left a name worth remembering.

Never try to impress a woman, because if you do she'll expect you to keep up the standard for the rest of your life.

No evil can happen to a good man, either in life or after death.

No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. Government programs, once launched, never disappear. Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we'll ever see on this earth!

No man is a failure who is enjoying life.

No man is worth his salt who is not ready at all times to risk his well-being, to risk his body, to risk his life, in a great cause.

No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new.

Not a shred of evidence exists in favor of the idea that life is serious.

Not life, but good life, is to be chiefly valued.

Nothing in life is so exhilarating as to be shot at without result.

Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.

Old age is just a record of one's whole life.

Once I knew only darkness and stillness... my life was without past or future... but a little word from the fingers of another fell into my hand that clutched at emptiness, and my heart leaped to the rapture of living.

Once you say you're going to settle for second, that's what happens to you in life.

Once you've wrestled, everything else in life is easy.

One life is all we have and we live it as we believe in living it. But to sacrifice what you are and to live without belief, that is a fate more terrible than dying.

One of the sanest, surest, and most generous joys of life comes from being happy over the good fortune of others.

One of the secrets of life is that all that is really worth the doing is what we do for others.

One of the things I learned the hard way was that it doesn't pay to get discouraged. Keeping busy and making optimism a way of life can restore your faith in yourself.

One thing they never tell you about child raising is that for the rest of your life, at the drop of a hat, you are expected to know your child's name and how old he or she is.

One way or another, we all have to find what best fosters the flowering of our humanity in this contemporary life, and dedicate ourselves to that.

One way to get the most out of life is to look upon it as an adventure.

One's family is the most important thing in life. I look at it this way: One of these days I'll be over in a hospital somewhere with four walls around me. And the only people who'll be with me will be my family.

One's real life is so often the life that one does not lead.

Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.

Open your eyes, look within. Are you satisfied with the life you're living?

Opportunities to find deeper powers within ourselves come when life seems most challenging.

Our business in life is not to succeed, but to continue to fail in good spirits.

Our entire life - consists ultimately in accepting ourselves as we are.

Our greatest happiness does not depend on the condition of life in which chance has placed us, but is always the result of a good conscience, good health, occupation, and freedom in all just pursuits.

Our life always expresses the result of our dominant thoughts.

Our life is frittered away by detail... simplify, simplify.

Our life is what our thoughts make it.

Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them.

Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake.

Part of the happiness of life consists not in fighting battles, but in avoiding them. A masterly retreat is in itself a victory.

People are taken aback by a confident, pretty girl who knows what she wants in life and isn't going to let anyone get in her way. And you know what it's all about? Jealousy.

People disparage knowing and the intellectual life, and urge doing. I am content with knowing, if only I could know.

People fear death even more than pain. It's strange that they fear death. Life hurts a lot more than death. At the point of death, the pain is over. Yeah, I guess it is a friend.

People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built.

People have a moral standard about what they will do and will not do. At the end of the day someone who cheats has a lower moral standard than someone who does not. And they will cheat in other areas of life as well.

People living deeply have no fear of death.

Polygamy: An endeavour to get more out of life than there is in it.

Purity of personal life is the one indispensable condition for building up a sound education.

Remember when life's path is steep to keep your mind even.

Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything - all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.

Saving faith is an immediate relation to Christ, accepting, receiving, resting upon Him alone, for justification, sanctification, and eternal life by virtue of God's grace.

Say there's a white kid who lives in a nice home, goes to an all-white school, and is pretty much having everything handed to him on a platter - for him to pick up a rap tape is incredible to me, because what that's saying is that he's living a fantasy life of rebellion.

School is practice for future life, practice makes perfect and nobody's perfect, so why practice?

Ships that pass in the night, and speak each other in passing, only a signal shown, and a distant voice in the darkness So on the ocean of life, we pass and speak one another, only a look and a voice, then darkness again and a silence.

Sleep - the most beautiful experience in life - except drink.

Smoking kills. If you're killed, you've lost a very important part of your life.

So if you stay ready, you ain't gotta get ready, and that is how I run my life.

So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.

Some of the worst mistakes of my life have been haircuts.

Somebody should tell us, right at the start of our lives, that we are dying. Then we might live life to the limit, every minute of every day. Do it! I say. Whatever you want to do, do it now! There are only so many tomorrows.

Sometimes I feel my whole life has been one big rejection.

Sometimes I think it would be easier to avoid old age, to die young, but then you'd never complete your life, would you? You'd never wholly know you.

Sometimes it's the smallest decisions that can change your life forever.

Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith.

Sometimes, I feel like one who is on the sidelines, who has missed life itself.

Stop acting as if life is a rehearsal. Live this day as if it were your last. The past is over and gone. The future is not guaranteed.

Take a chance! All life is a chance. The man who goes farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare.

Take care to sell your horse before he dies. The art of life is passing losses on.

Take control of your consistent emotions and begin to consciously and deliberately reshape your daily experience of life.

Television is not real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

That's the way I got along in life. I don't ever remember being particularly jealous of anybody, because I figured if I can't do it myself, I don't deserve to get it.

The aim of life is to live, and to live means to be aware, joyously, drunkenly, serenely, divinely aware.

The art of life is to know how to enjoy a little and to endure very much.

The art of living is more like wrestling than dancing.

The basic fact about human existence is not that it is a tragedy, but that it is a bore. It is not so much a war as an endless standing in line.

The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own. You do not blame them on your mother, the ecology, or the president. You realize that you control your own destiny.

The biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams.

The boundaries which divide Life from Death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where the one ends, and where the other begins?

The care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first and only object of good government.

The changes in our life must come from the impossibility to live otherwise than according to the demands of our conscience not from our mental resolution to try a new form of life.

The chief danger in life is that you may take too many precautions.

The chief reason for going to school is to get the impression fixed for life that there is a book side for everything.

The Christian life is not a constant high. I have my moments of deep discouragement. I have to go to God in prayer with tears in my eyes, and say, 'O God, forgive me,' or 'Help me.'

The cost of a thing is the amount of what I will call life which is required to be exchanged for it, immediately or in the long run.
