Peter Jacobsen: One of...

One of the most fascinating things about golf is how it reflects the cycle of life. No matter what you shoot - the next day you have to go back to the first tee and begin all over again and make yourself into something.
/Peter Jacobsen/

Horace Mann: Generosity during...

Generosity during life is a very different thing from generosity in the hour of death; one proceeds from genuine liberality and benevolence, the other from pride or fear.
/Horace Mann/

Robert G. Ingersoll: Life is...

Life is a narrow vale between the cold and barren peaks of two eternities. We strive in vain to look beyond the heights. We cry aloud-and the only answer is the echo of our wailing cry. From the voiceless lips of the unreplying dead there comes no word.
/Robert G. Ingersoll/

Osho: Nature has...

Nature has come to a point where now, unless you take individual responsibility, you cannot grow. More than this nature cannot do. It has done enough. It has given you life, it has given you opportunity; now how to use it, it has left up to you.<br>…meditation is almost like dreamless sleep, but with only one difference. In dreamless sleep you are not aware; in samadhi, in the ultimate state of meditation, there is just a little difference – you are aware.
/Osho/

Pat Conroy: Without music,...

Without music, life is a journey through a desert.
/Pat Conroy/

Edward Abbey: Mexico: where...

Mexico: where life is cheap, death is rich, and the buzzards are never unhappy.
/Edward Abbey/

Katherine Mansfield: Make it...

Make it a rule in life never to regret and never look back. Regret is an appalling waste of energy; you can't build on it; it is good only for wallowing in.
/Katherine Mansfield/

Carl Sagan: Personally, I...

Personally, I would be delighted if there were a life after death, especially if it permitted me to continue to learn about this world and others, if it gave me a chance to discover how history turns out.
/Carl Sagan/

Robert A. Heinlein: The supreme...

The supreme irony of life is that hardly anyone gets out of it alive.
/Robert A. Heinlein/

Bill Vaughan: In the...

In the game of life it's a good idea to have a few early losses, which relieves you of the pressure of trying to maintain an undefeated season.
/Bill Vaughan/

Ava Gardner: I suffered,...

I suffered, I really suffered, with all three of my husbands. And I tried damn hard with all three, starting each marriage certain that it was going to last until the end of my life. Yet none of them lasted more than a year or two.
/Ava Gardner/

Henry Ward Beecher: Mirth is...

Mirth is the sweet wine of human life. It should be offered sparkling with zestful life unto God.
/Henry Ward Beecher/

Henry David Thoreau: If the...

If the day and night be such that you greet them with joy, and life emits a fragrance like flowers and sweet-scented herbs, is more elastic, more immortal - that is your success. All nature is your congratulation, and you have cause momentarily to bless yourself.
/Henry David Thoreau/

Linda Vester: I think...

I think I'd like to stay anchoring because, number one, I'm learning a lot, and I love it when I'm learning. And number two, I also have the luxury of a stable life.
/Linda Vester/

Thornton Wilder: I can't....

I can't. I can't go on. It goes so fast. We don't have time to look at one another. I didn't realize. So all that was going on and we never noticed. Take me back - up the hill - to my grave. But first: Wait! One more look. Good-by, Good-by, world. Good-by Grover's Corners...Mama and Papa. Good-by to clocks ticking...and Mama's sunflowers. And fod and coffee. And new ironed dresses and hot baths...and sleeping and waking up. Oh, earth, you're too wonderful for anybody to realize you. ...Do human beings ever realize life while they live it? - Every, every minute? ...I'm ready to go back...I should have listened to you. That's all human beings are! Just blind people. -Emily Webb
/Thornton Wilder/
