Life isn't fair. It's just fairer than death, that's all.
-William Goldman
It is a good practice to set apart at least one day in a year for the remembrance of one’s near and dear relatives, friends and learned people that are no more in keeping with our traditions; giving a new orientation to and infusing new life into practices that have become lifeless and meaningless to many.
You were given life; it is your duty (and also your entitlement as a human being) to find something beautiful within life, no matter how slight.
-Elizabeth Gilbert
The trouble is if you don’t spend your life yourself, other people will spend it for you.
-Peter Shaffer

Life's tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late.
-Benjamin Franklin
Life has been compared with a battle and rightly so, as each day comes up with a new set of challenges which we must meet. One cannot just shy away from problems if he has to survive. He has to meet to challenges with courage.
We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.
-E. M. Forster

The One Life, the one consciousness that pervades the entire universe and takes temporary form to experience itself as a stone or blade of grass, as an animal, a person, a star or a galaxy.
