Life in other words is to "work" hard for the upliftment of yourself as well as
others and as and when opportunity knocks...thoroughly enjoy yourself. There
cannot be any other purpose of life.
-Deep Trivedi
Quotations
Life
The evil ruler spoils the word, the plan of life, by his teachings. He, indeed, deprives me of the exalted goal of good thought. With the word of my spirit, I pray to You, O Wise One, and to truth!
-Scriptures "Avesta, Yasna 32.9"
There are two things to aim at in life: first to get what you want; and after that to enjoy it. Only the wisest of mankind achieve the second.
-Logan P. Smith
Man's real life is happy, chiefly because he is ever expecting that it soon will be so.
-Edgar Allan Poe
Life is full of chances and changes, and the most prosperous of men may… meet with great misfortunes.
-Aristotle
I don't think that there are any limits to how excellent we could make life seem.

"Everything is Illuminated"
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
There are two ways of passing from this world – one in light, and one in darkness. When one passes in light he does not come back but when one passes in darkness he returns.
-Srimad Bhagavad Gita "Bhagwad Gita 8.26"
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 Spiritual Leader "Mata Amritanandamayi"
Be like a tree. The tree gives shade even to him who cuts off its boughs.
-Sri Chaitanya "Sri Chaitanya"
