To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue.
It's not that I believe everything happens for a reason. It's just that . . . I just think that some things are meant to be broken, imperfect and chaotic. It's the universe's way of providing contrast, you know? There have to be a few holes in the road. It's how life is.

"The Truth About Forever"
Some chapters in the Book of Life tell of tragedy, others of triumph. Some chapters are dull and others are exciting. The key to being a success in life is to never stop on a difficult page, to never quit a tough chapter. Champions have the courage to keep turning the pages because they know a better chapter lies ahead.
Life doesn’t get easier or more forgiving; we get stronger and more resilient.

"Life, the Truth, and Being Free"
Life is life – Whether in a cat, or dog or man. There is no difference there between a cat or a man. The idea of difference is a human conception for man’s own advantage.
-Sri Aurobindo
Accept what life offers you and try to drink from every cup. All wines should be tasted; some should only be sipped, but with others, drink the whole bottle.
-Paulo Coelho
"Brida"
I don't think that there are any limits to how excellent we could make life seem.

"Everything is Illuminated"
In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.
-Abraham Lincoln
If you wish to make your life meaningful; every morning spend ten minutes in
solitude and think about making today a fruitful day, and before going to bed
at night, rewind the day for five minutes and think whether or not the day was
wasted. And then, see what you will soon transform into.
-Deep Trivedi
