It is impossible to live a pleasant life without living wisely and well and justly. And it is impossible to live wisely and well and justly without living a pleasant life.
-Epicurus
Most people die before they are fully born. Creativeness means to be born before one dies.

What a wee little part of a person's life are his acts and his words! His real life is led in his head, and is known to none but himself.
-Mark Twain
When an exalted soul realises that all sentient beings are one in relation to the Supreme – that is, that all beings are the minute parts of the One – how shall he have any more delusion and what grief will come to him?
Let others lead small lives, but not you. Let others argue over small things, but not you. Let others cry over small hurts, but not you. Let others leave their future in someone else's hands, but not you.
-Jim Rohn
