Quotations
Life
-Nelson Mandela "Nelson Mandela"
Life is full of chances and changes, and the most prosperous of men may… meet with great misfortunes.
-Aristotle
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"
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
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?
-Isha Upanishad "Isha Upanishad 6-7"
When I hear somebody sigh, “Life is hard”, I am always tempted to ask, compared to what?
-Sydney J. Harris
You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.
-Mae West
In three words I can sum up everything I've learnt about life: it goes on.
-Robert Frost
Life is nothing but a competition to be the criminal rather than the victim.
-Bertrand Russell
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, Wow! What a Ride!
-Hunter S. Thompson
