Life is as dear to the mute creature as it is to a man. Just as one wants happiness and fears pain, just as one wants to live and not to die, so do other creatures.
-Dalai Lama Xiv "The XIV Dalai Lama"
Life is as dear to the mute creature as it is to a man. Just as one wants happiness and fears pain, just as one wants to live and not to die, so do other creatures.
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
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"
We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.
-Plato
My philosophy is that not only are you responsible for your life, but doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment.
When you feel life at crossroads, you need a higher perspective view.
There is a very fine line between loving life and being greedy for it.
-Maya Angelou
Life is busy. There are daily obligations that have to be met. Take time to think about how precious and special human life is - you only get one such life. Every wasted minute is lost. You can’t get it back.
The only real conflict you will ever have in your life won’t be with others but with yourself.
It’s better to live your own life imperfectly than to imitate someone else's perfectly.
-Elizabeth Gilbert
