Live in the world like a waterfowl. The water clings to the bird, but the bird shakes it off. Live in the world like a mudfish. The fish lives in the mud, but its skin is always bright and shiny.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
Quotations
Life
Life has been compared with a battle and rightly so, as each day comes up with a new set of challenges which we must meet. One cannot just shy away from problems if he has to survive. He has to meet to challenges with courage.
-Vedas "Sam Veda"
There is neither creation nor destruction, neither destiny nor free will, neither path nor achievement; this is the final truth.
-Ramana Maharshi
The darkest night is often the bridge to the brightest tomorrow. Celebrate endings, for they precede new beginnings.
-Jonathan. L. Huie "Jonathan. L. Huie"
We can't plan life. All we can do is be available for it.
-Lauryn Hill
Some chapters in the Book of Life tell of tragedy, others of triumph. Some chapters are dull and others are exciting. The key to being a success in life is to never stop on a difficult page, to never quit a tough chapter. Champions have the courage to keep turning the pages because they know a better chapter lies ahead.
-Anonymous "Anonymous"
What we call life is only talk of nature.

Life is nothing to be very serious about. Life is a ball in your hands to play with. Don’t hold on to the ball.
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
You ask: What is the meaning or purpose of life? I can only answer with another question: Do you think we are wise enough to read God's mind?
