Fifty percent of life in the N.B.A. is sex. The other fifty percent is money.

Carl Sandburg: Time is...

Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you.
/Carl Sandburg/

Felix Adler: The hero...

The hero is the one who kindles a great light in the world, who sets up blazing torches in the dark streets of life for men to see by. The saint is the man who walks through the dark paths of the world, himself a light.
/Felix Adler/

Casey Stengel: There comes...

There comes a time in every man's life, and I've had plenty of them.
/Casey Stengel/

Life without love is meaningless and goodness without love is impossible.
/Greg Jurkiewicz/

Vida D. Scudder: It is...

It is through creating, not possessing, that life is revealed.
/Vida D. Scudder/

Russell Baker: Happiness is...

Happiness is a small and unworthy goal for something as big and fancy as a whole lifetime, and should be taken in small doses.
/Russell Baker/

Teri Garr: You can...

You can keep it to yourself, but you could also call a support team like the team at MS LifeLines. They are there to support the MS community and give good advice.

Robert Brault: In this,...

In this, the late afternoon of my life, I wonder: am I casting a longer shadow or is my shadow casting a shorter me?
/Robert Brault/

Brett Favre: Because after...

Because after my first year I had a lot of success, took everybody by storm, came back the next year thought it was easy and didn't have near the season I had the previous year. It was kind of a wake-up call. And so, life goes on.
/Brett Favre/

During my first month in Italy I lived a nomadic life.

José Ortega y Gasset: Our firmest...

Our firmest convictions are apt to be the most suspect, they mark our limitations and our bounds. Life is a petty thing unless it is moved by the indomitable urge to extend its boundaries.
/José Ortega y Gasset/

Chuck Palahniuk: You are...

You are not a beautiful, unique snowflake... This is your life, and it's ending one minute at a time.

Three things in human life are important. The first is to be kind. The second is to be kind. And the third is to be kind.

I've worked all my life to shed myself of any character.

Annie Dillard: We teach...

We teach our children one thing only, as we were taught: to wake up. We teach our children to look alive there, to join by words and activities the life of human culture on the planet's crust. As adults we are almost all adept at waking up. We have so mastered the transition we have forgotten we ever learned it. Yet it is a transition we make a hundred times a day, as, like so many will-less dolphins, we plunge and surface, lapse and emerge. We live half our waking lives and all of our sleeping lives in some private, useless, and insensible waters we never mention or recall. Useless, I say. Valueless, I might add –until someone hauls their wealth up to the surface and into the wide-awake city, in a form people can use.
/Annie Dillard/

Marcus Aurelius: Nothing has...

Nothing has such power to broaden the mind as the ability to investigate systematically and truly all that comes under thy observation in life.
/Marcus Aurelius/

Muammar al-Gaddafi: There must...

There must be a world revolution which puts an end to all materialistic conditions hindering woman from performing her natural role in life and driving her to carry out man's duties in order to be equal in rights.
/Muammar al-Gaddafi/

Neil LaBute: People think...

People think my work is therapeutic. I don't see it that way. It's not like I'm saving money from a weekly therapy visit by writing down my life.
/Neil LaBute/

Gaston Bachelard: To live...

To live life well is to express life poorly; if one expresses life too well, one is living it no longer.
/Gaston Bachelard/

G. K. Chesterton: The true...

The true object of all human life is play. Earth is a task garden; heaven is a playground.
/G. K. Chesterton/

Jeannette Walls: My life...

My life is not just about the past.
/Jeannette Walls/

Alan Watts: We could...

We could say that meditation doesn't have a reason or doesn't have a purpose. In this respect it's unlike almost all other things we do except perhaps making music and dancing. When we make music we don't do it in order to reach a certain point, such as the end of the composition. If that were the purpose of music then obviously the fastest players would be the best. Also, when we are dancing we are not aiming to arrive at a particular place on the floor as in a journey. When we dance, the journey itself is the point, as when we play music the playing itself is the point. And exactly the same thing is true in meditation. Meditation is the discovery that the point of life is always arrived at in the immediate moment.
/Alan Watts/

Farrah Gray: In life...

In life we don't get what we want, we get in life what we are. If we want more we have to be able to be more, in order to be more you have to face rejection.
/Farrah Gray/

Alfred Korzybski: There are...

There are two ways to slide easily through life; to believe everything or to doubt everything. Both ways save us from thinking.

Charles Darwin: A man...

A man who dares to waste one hour of his life has not discovered the value of life.
/Charles Darwin/

Gao Xingjian: In the...

In the history of literature there are many great enduring works which were not published in the lifetimes of the authors. If the authors had not achieved self-affirmation while writing, how could they have continued to write?
/Gao Xingjian/

Joseph Campbell: What each...

What each must seek in his life never was on land or sea. It is something out of his own unique potentiality for experience, something that never has been and never could have been experienced by anyone else.
/Joseph Campbell/

My wife bought an extra life insurance policy on me.
/Willie Aames/

Eugene O'Neill: For a...

For a moment I lost myself, actually lost my life. I was set free! I belonged, without past or future, within peace and unity and a wild joy, within something greater than my own life ... to life itself. I caught a glimpse of something greater than myself.
/Eugene O'Neill/

Richard Le Gallienne: Perhaps we...

Perhaps we too seldom reflect how much the life of Nature is one with the life of man, how unimportant or indeed merely seeming, the difference between them.
/Richard Le Gallienne/

Charles Lamb: My theory...

My theory is to enjoy life, but the practice is against it.
/Charles Lamb/

Paul Theroux: The writer...

The writer is odd from day one and in the course of pursuing this maddening profession becomes distinctly odder... It is not unusual for a successful writer - your favorite, the one you think of as full of sunshine, wisdom and laughter - to spend great portions of his or her life in a state of fury, hideously disappointed, or even raving mad... for a writer it is almost essential to pursue a solitary passion in the open air.
/Paul Theroux/

Winston Churchill: You make...

You make a living by what you get. You make a life by what you give.
/Winston Churchill/
