Joan D. Vinge: We are...

We are all born with a unique genetic blueprint, which lays out the basic characteristics of our personality as well as our physical health and appearance... And yet, we all know that life experiences do change us.
/Joan D. Vinge/

Mignon McLaughlin: Your money,...

Your money, or your life. We know what to do when a burglar makes this demand of us, but not when God does.
/Mignon McLaughlin/

Albert Einstein: What is...

What is the meaning of human life, or of organic life altogether? To answer this question at all implies a religion. Is there any sense then, you ask, in putting it? I answer, the man who regards his own life and that of his fellow creatures as meaningless is not merely unfortunate but almost disqualified for life.
/Albert Einstein/

Ayn Rand: I swear,...

I swear, by my life and my love of it, that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.

This nice and subtle happiness of reading, this joy not chilled by age, this polite and unpunished vice, this selfish, serene life-long intoxication.
/Logan P. Smith/

Henry Edward Manning: A habit...

A habit of devout fellowship with God is the spring of all our life, and the strength of it.
/Henry Edward Manning/

Winston Churchill: The human...

The human story does not always unfold like a mathematical calculation on the principle that two and two make four. Sometimes in life they make five or minus three; and sometimes the blackboard topples down in the middle of the sum and leaves the class in disorder and the pedagogue with a black eye.
/Winston Churchill/

C. G. Jung: In the...

In the second half of life the necessity is imposed of recognizing no longer the validity of our former ideals but of their contraries. Of perceiving the error in what was previously our conviction, of sensing the untruth in what was our truth, and of weighing the degree of opposition, and even of hostility, in what we took to be love.
/C. G. Jung/

Rob Walton: If it...

If it came to saving the life of one priest or sacrificing the life of an entire congregation, the church would save the life of the priest. Which is backwards, of course.

Life is meant to be enjoyed, not endured.
/Anthony J. D'Angelo/

Henry David Thoreau: Shams and...

Shams and delusions are esteemed for soundest truths, while reality is fabulous. If men would steadily observe realities only, and not allow themselves to be deluded, life ... would be like a fairy tale and the Arabian Nights' Entertainments.
/Henry David Thoreau/

Frederic William Farrar: There is...

There is only one real failure in life that is possible, and that is, not to be true to the best one knows.

Life is not so important as the duties of life.

Oddly enough, MS has made my life so much better than it was before. I now appreciate what I have and I am not running around like a rat in a maze.
/Teri Garr/

Elizabeth Cady Stanton: With age...

With age come the inner, the higher life. Who would be forever young, to dwell always in externals?
/Elizabeth Cady Stanton/

Seth Parker: You may...

You may not have saved a lot of money in your life, but if you have saved a lot of heartaches for other folks, you are a pretty rich man.
/Seth Parker/

Clay Aiken: I kind...

I kind of had my life planned out for me. I'd be married at some point, have, you know, 1.5 children, and be a principal possibly one day. But I think that that was kind of my problem. I allowed myself to plan out my life and didn't let provident direction guide my life.
/Clay Aiken/

Paul Merton: My school...

My school days were the happiest days of my life, which should give you some indication of the misery I've endured over the past twenty-five years.
