Don’t hate life and death or love life and death. Keep your every thought free of delusion, and in life you’ll witness the beginning of nirvana, and in death you’ll experience the assurance of no rebirth.
-Bodhidharma "Bodhidharma"

A sacrifice is a gift of the essence or the product of our lives. It may be a gift of our time, a gift of our talent, or a gift of our treasure.
A life spent making mistakes is not only more honourable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.
-George Bernard Shaw
The refined form of "human" body, mind, culture and consciousness that we
witness today is the result of countless unsuccessful efforts spanning over millions
of years. We cannot afford to waste such a precious life only on education,
marriage, children, chasing wealth and pangs of old age.
-Deep Trivedi
Slow down and enjoy life. It's not only the scenery you miss by going too fast - you also miss the sense of where you are going and why.
-Eddie Cantor
I'm not saying it's going to be easy. Nothing in life is easy. But that's no reason to give up. You'll be surprised what you can accomplish if you set your mind to it. After all, you only have one life, so you should try to make the most of it.
-Louis Sachar
"Holes"
Life is life - whether in a cat, or dog or man. There is no difference there between a cat and man. The idea of difference is a human conception for man’s own advantage.
Don't be afraid of death; be afraid of an unlived life.
-Natalie Babbitt
"Tuck Everlasting"
Life is like a 1,000 page book. You want to quit halfway through, but then you realise you have a lot left to look forward to.
Life doesn't imitate art, it imitates bad television.
-Woody Allen
