Every chapter in the Book of Life defines our character and tells us who we are
When we see everything in life as a game, we will be equally joyous when falling as we are when rising. If we can fully understand this – if we can see life as swinging on a swing – we will never fall apart when failure comes our way.
A mountain is composed of tiny grains of earth. The ocean is made up of tiny drops of water. Even so, life is but an endless series of little details, actions, speeches and thoughts. And the consequences, whether good or bad of even the least of them, are far-reaching.
We are always getting ready to live but never living.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every man's life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguish one man from another.
-Ernest Hemingway
Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot.
-Charlie Chaplin
The devotee engages to the best of his or her ability into the play of life, fulfilling his or her role on this earth as student, employee, husband, wife…But at the heart of the devotee is a burning desire for the Lord.
Books say: She did this because. Life says: She did this. Books are where things are explained to you; life is where things aren't. I'm not surprised some people prefer books.
-Julian Barnes
"Flaubert's Parrot"
Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...It's about learning to dance in the rain.
-Vivian Greene
Human life is full off the play of samskaras, tendencies developed by repeated actions.
