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 a festival only to the wise.

Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.
-Rabindranath Tagore
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.

Life is too short, or too long, for me to allow myself the luxury of living it so badly.
Life's tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late.
-Benjamin Franklin
How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live.
-Henry David Thoreau
Die while you’re alive and be absolutely dead. Then do whatever you want: it’s all good.
