Friedrich Nietzsche: Every philosophy...

Every philosophy is the philosophy of some stage of life.
/Friedrich Nietzsche/

Agatha Christie: I have...

I have enjoyed greatly the second blooming that comes when you finish the life of the emotions and of personal relations; and suddenly find - at the age of fifty, say - that a whole new life has opened before you, filled with things you can think about, study, or read about...It is as if a fresh sap of ideas and thoughts was rising in you.
/Agatha Christie/

Ralph Waldo Emerson: But real...

But real action is in silent moments. The epochs of our life are not in the visible facts of our choice of a calling, our marriage, our acquisition of an office, and the like, but in a silent thought by the wayside as we walk; in a thought which revises our entire manner of life, and says,-Thus hast thou done, but it were better thus.
/Ralph Waldo Emerson/

Jenny Agutter: I was...

I was really glad to meet Jane Clark because it did give me an insight. I couldn't imagine what kind of woman she was. I was hugely impressed by her energy, straightforward nature and enthusiasm for life.
/Jenny Agutter/

Oscar Wilde: To become...

To become a spectator of one's own life is to escape the suffering of life.

There are far more important things in life than making a putt or missing a putt or winning a championship or losing a championship.
/Bernhard Langer/

Wallace Stegner: ...I was...

...I was reminded of a remark of Willa Cather's, that you can't paint sunlight, you can only paint what it does with shadows on a wall. If you examine a life, as Socrates has been so tediously advising us to do for so many centuries, do you really examine a life, or do you examine the shadows it casts on other lives? Entity or relationships? Objective reality or the vanishing point of a multiple perspective exercise? Prism or the rainbows it refracts? And what if you're the wall? What if you never cast a shadow or rainbow of your own, but have only caught those cast by others?
/Wallace Stegner/

Helen Keller: I have...

I have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days during their early adult life. Darkness would make them more appreciative of sight; silence would teach them the joys of sound.
/Helen Keller/

Carl Bernstein: Increasingly, the...

Increasingly, the picture of our society as rendered in our media is illusionary and delusionary: disfigured, unreal, out of touch with reality, disconnected from the true context of our life. It is disfigured by celebrity, by celebrity worship, by gossip, by sensationalism, by denial of our societies' real condition and a political and social discourse that we - the press, the media, the politician and the people - are turning into a sewer.
/Carl Bernstein/

Harrison Salisbury: Life within...

Life within the Kremlin was shrouded in impenetrable secrecy.
/Harrison Salisbury/

Herschel Walker: That person...

That person has to be accountable for himself. I think that's what we have to do in society today is to be accountable for yourself. I think we have the tendency to always want to live someone else's life.
/Herschel Walker/

It is from books that wise people derive consolation in the troubles of life.
/Victor Hugo/

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

Muhammad Ali: Joe Frazier...

Joe Frazier is so ugly, he should donate his face to the US Bureau of Wildlife.
/Muhammad Ali/

Joseph Campbell: The goal...

The goal of life is to make your heartbeat match the beat of the universe, to match your nature with Nature.
/Joseph Campbell/

Rick Danko: Getting older,...

Getting older, I realize I've had a very fortunate life. I've had a budget that's allowed me to do just about any silly little thing the mind could conjure up, and I'm still alive and here.
/Rick Danko/

Terry Josephson: No matter...

No matter where you go or what you do, you live your entire life within the confines of your head.
/Terry Josephson/

My past is my wisdom to use today... my future is my wisdom yet to experience. Be in the present because that is where life resides.
/Gene Oliver/

Mahatma Gandhi: The main...

The main purpose of life is to live rightly, think rightly, act rightly. The soul must languish when we give all our thought to the body.
/Mahatma Gandhi/

Jones Very: As long...

As long as man labors for a physical existence, though an act of necessity almost, he is yet natural; it is life, though that of this world, for which he instinctively works.
/Jones Very/

Elisabeth Kubler-Ross: As far...

As far as service goes, it can take the form of a million things. To do service, you don't have to be a doctor working in the slums for free, or become a social worker. Your position in life and what you do doesn't matter as much as how you do what you do.
/Elisabeth Kubler-Ross/

David Keith: I'd really...

I'd really love to play a real-life country and western singer.
/David Keith/
