Neale Donald Walsch: As told...

As told in Friendship with God, if we simply decided to believe and act as if first, we're all one, and second, life is eternal, it would render virtually everything we've done all our lives pointless.
/Neale Donald Walsch/

Sean O'Casey: Wealth often...

Wealth often takes away chances from men as well as poverty. There is none to tell the rich to go on striving, for a rich man makes the law that hallows and hollows his own life.
/Sean O'Casey/

Jesse Ventura: The Constitution...

The Constitution guarantees us our rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That's all. It doesn't guarantee our rights to charity.
/Jesse Ventura/

A nomad I will remain for life, in love with distant and uncharted places.
/Isabelle Eberhardt/

Life cannot subsist in society but by reciprocal concessions.

IT has been observed by several gentlemen, in vindication of this motion, that if it should be carried, neither my life, liberty, nor estate will be affected.
/Robert Walpole/

Heywood Hale Broun: The tragedy...

The tragedy of life is not that a man loses, but that he almost wins.
/Heywood Hale Broun/

Mary Catherine Bateson: Wherever a...

Wherever a story comes from, whether it is a familiar myth or a private memory, the retelling exemplifies the making of a connection from one pattern to another: a potential translation in which narrative becomes parable and the once upon a time comes to stand for some renascent truth. This approach applies to all the incidents of everyday life: the phrase in the newspaper, the endearing or infuriating game of a toddler, the misunderstanding at the office. Our species thinks in metaphors and learns through stories.
/Mary Catherine Bateson/

Wallace Stevens: I can't...

I can't make head or tail of Life. Love is a fine thing, Art is a fine thing, Nature is a fine thing; but the average human mind and spirit are confusing beyond measure.
/Wallace Stevens/

John Mortimer: I refuse...

I refuse to spend my life worrying about what I eat. There is no pleasure worth forgoing just for an extra three years in the geriatric ward.
/John Mortimer/

Oswald Chambers: We are...

We are not built for the mountains and the dawns and aesthetic affinities, those are for moments of inspiration, that is all. We are built for the valley, for the ordinary stuff we are in, and that is where we have to prove our mettle. Spiritual selfishness always wants repeated moments on the mount. We feel we could talk like angels and live like angels, if only we could stay on the mount. The times of exaltation are exceptional, they have their meaning in our life with God, but we must beware lest our spiritual selfishness wants to make them the only time.
/Oswald Chambers/

George Santayana: Happiness is...

Happiness is the only sanction of life; where happiness fails, existence remains a mad and lamentable experiment.
/George Santayana/

Jean-Jacques Rousseau: Men and...

Men and women are made for each other, but their mutual dependence differs in degrees; man is dependent on woman through his desires; woman is dependent on man through her desires and also through her needs; he could do without her better than she can do without him. She cannot fulfill her purpose in life without his aid, without his goodwill, without his respect...Nature herself has decreed that woman, both for herself and her children, should be at the mercy of man s judgment.
/Jean-Jacques Rousseau/

Oscar Wilde: To love...

To love yourself is the beginning of a lifelong affair!
/Oscar Wilde/

Erik H. Erikson: Hope is...

Hope is both the earliest and the most indispensable virtue inherent in the state of being alive. If life is to be sustained hope must remain, even where confidence is wounded, trust impaired.
/Erik H. Erikson/

Alexandre Dumas: There is...

There is neither happiness nor misery in the world; there is only the comparison of one state to another, nothing more. He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness. We must have felt what it is to die, that we may appreciate the enjoyments of life.
/Alexandre Dumas/

Thom Yorke: Well, my...

Well, my son really loves wildlife. And everytime he draws a polar bear I want to tell him there probably won't any by the time... he's my age. That's kinda hard to deal with.
/Thom Yorke/

Chuck Zito: I've been...

I've been fighting my whole life.

There is one thing alone that stands the brunt of life throughout its length: a quiet conscience.
/Euripides/

George Whitefield: Take care...

Take care of your of your life and the Lord will take of your death.
/George Whitefield/

Ernest A. Fitzgerald: It is...

It is not by accident that the happiest people are those who make a conscious effort to live useful lives. Their happiness, of course, is not a shallow exhilaration where life is one continuos intoxicating party. Rather, their happiness is a deep sense of inner peace that comes when they believe their lives have meaning and that they are making a difference for good in the world.
/Ernest A. Fitzgerald/

Julie Walters: I'd like...

I'd like to think there'll be too much of real life going on for me to want to do much acting.
/Julie Walters/

Hugh Mackay: But the...

But the rule seems to be that the bigger and more life-changing the decision, the less it will seem like a decision at all.
/Hugh Mackay/

If you're bored with life - you don't get up every morning with a burning desire to do things - you don't have enough goals.
/Lou Holtz/

To lengthen thy Life, lessen thy meals.
