Alice James: The success...

The success or failure of a life, as far as posterity goes, seems to lie in the more or less luck of seizing the right moment of escape.
/Alice James/

Otto Weininger: Among the...

Among the notable things about fire is that it also requires oxygen to burn - exactly like its enemy, life. Thereby are life and flames so often compared.
/Otto Weininger/

Lewis Carroll: I'd give...

I'd give all wealth that years have piled,<BR>The slow result of Life's decay,<BR>To be once more a little child<BR>For one bright summer day.

Life is a disease, sexually transmitted and fatal.

Kim Elizabeth: I appreciate...

I appreciate all of the attention I get in my career. I am a loner and live a rather secluded life so sometimes I do get overwhelmed, but I am always very appreciative of everything, and honored.
/Kim Elizabeth/

Don Miguel Ruiz: Your best...

Your best changes from moment to moment, sick or well, tired or rested. Remember that you are an imperfect human being. There is no value to judging yourself for "failing" - and no truth to it either. There should be no regrets. When you are not impeccable, when you take something personally, or make an assumption, you are still doing your best, and you are still a beloved child of Spirit. Agree to always do your best, with love and acceptance for the imperfect divine human that you are. The other key to doing your best revolves about being in action. Action is about living fully. Inaction is the way that we deny life.
/Don Miguel Ruiz/

The issues and challenges surrounding nuclear non-proliferation are continuously evolving. They've changed dramatically at several junctures in recent memory.

You've got to be a disciplined person if you want to succeed both in sport and in life.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge: Christianity is...

Christianity is not a theory or speculation, but a life; not a philosophy of life, but a life and a living process.
/Samuel Taylor Coleridge/

Eric Hoffer: The feeling...

The feeling of being hurried is not usually the result of living a full life and having no time. It is on the contrary born of a vague fear that we are wasting our life. When we do not do the one thing we ought to do, we have no time for anything else- we are the busiest people in the world.
/Eric Hoffer/

Ray Davies: Those three...

Those three chords were part of my life - G, F, Bb - yeh, it is, it is, and I can't help noticing it. But there have been other things nearly as close to it which people haven't noticed, other things we have done.
/Ray Davies/

Dorothea Lange: Photography takes...

Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still.
/Dorothea Lange/

William O. Douglas: The great...

The great and invigorating influences in American life have been the unorthodox: the people who challenge an existing institution of way of life, or say and so things that make people think.
/William O. Douglas/

Augustinas Rakauskas: As the...

As the rain falling out of the clouds becomes the life origin for plants, so the stream of creativeness becomes the source of life for a man. Let us feel the pulse of a creative spirit within a man, which sustains his or her vitality, for it, is the only way for one to join the river of eternity. As this truth submerges a man in joy like the sunrays, he or she feels incredibly happy. The spirit of creativity like a stream flowing in a man and watering a dry land of his or her soul, refreshing it and awakening up new forces – a creation of action. It seems that time and eternity merge within a man. Let us aim at awakening within ourselves this state producing success and desire for harmony.
/Augustinas Rakauskas/

Roger Mahony: I'm very...

I'm very close to the pro-life movement.

A sister is a gift to the heart, a friend to the spirit, a golden thread to the meaning of life.

Stewart Udall: Over the...

Over the long haul of life on this planet, it is the ecologists, and not the bookkeepers of business, who are the ultimate accountants.
/Stewart Udall/

Victor Frankl: A man...

A man who becomes conscious of the responsibility he bears toward a human being who affectionately waits for him, or to an unfinished work, will never be able to throw away his life. He knows the why for his existence, and will be able to bear almost any how.
/Victor Frankl/

Gilda Radner: While we...

While we have the gift of life, it seems to me the only tragedy is to allow part of us to die - whether it is our spirit, our creativity or our glorious uniqueness.
/Gilda Radner/

Paul Tournier: That is...

That is what marriage really means: helping one another to reach the full status of being persons, responsible and autonomous beings who do not run away from life.
/Paul Tournier/

Daniel J. Boorstin: In our...

In our world of big names, our true heroes tend to be anonymous. In this life of illusion and quasi-illusion, the person of solid virtues who can be admired for something more substantial than his well-knowness often proves to be the unsung hero: the teacher, the nurse, the mother, the honest cop, the hard worker at lonely, underpaid, unglamorous, unpublicized jobs.
/Daniel J. Boorstin/

Irisa Hail: Don't let...

Don't let the alarm clock of life wake you from the dream of your ideals.
/Irisa Hail/

Arthur E. Waite: Behind the...

Behind the man is the Tree of Life, bearing twelve fruits, and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil is behind the woman; the serpent is twining round it.
/Arthur E. Waite/

Oscar Wilde: Life imitates...

Life imitates art far more than art imitates Life.
/Oscar Wilde/

Alan Ladd: I learned...

I learned more about acting from George Stevens in a few months than I had in my entire life up until then.
/Alan Ladd/

Georgia O'Keeffe: It was...

It was in the 1920s, when nobody had time to reflect, that I saw a still-life painting with a flower that was perfectly exquisite, but so small you really could not appreciate it.
/Georgia O'Keeffe/

Ray Davies: If I...

If I had to do my life over, I would change every single thing I have done.
/Ray Davies/
