To be what we are, and to become what we are capable of becoming, is the only end of life.
-Robert Louis Stevenson "R. L. Stevenson"
To be what we are, and to become what we are capable of becoming, is the only end of life.
We can't plan life. All we can do is be available for it.
-Lauryn Hill
Those who see all creatures within themselves, and themselves in all creatures know no fear. Those who see all creatures in themselves, and themselves in all creatures know no grief. How can the multiplicity of life, delude the one who sees its unity?
Life is hard. After all, it kills you.
-Katharine Hepburn
"Me: Stories of My Life"
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
Human life is influenced by seven elements - the laws of existence, his own
nature, his brain, mind, heart, DNA and his own set of experiences. No eighth
element or reason influences him even a bit.
-Deep Trivedi
In life, as in chess, forethought wins.
-Charles Buxton
There is a very fine line between loving life and being greedy for it.
-Maya Angelou
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.
That it will never come again is what makes life so sweet.
-Emily Dickinson
