-David Nicholas
The ups and downs coming in others' life do not make a difference to you;
because you know that he is the other. If you wish, you can separate your 'being'
from 'yourself' and then like that of others, the ups and downs of your own life will
also not affect you.
-Deep Trivedi
What most counts is not to live, but to live right.
-Socrates
This is how the entire course of a life can be changed : By doing nothing.
-Ian McEwan
"On Chesil Beach"
What difference does it make, whether you live in a big city or in a community of homes? The real life is within.
-Khalil Gibran
Be like a tree. The tree gives shade even to him who cuts off its boughs.
Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them.
-Marcus Aurelius
A mountain is composed of tiny grains of earth. The ocean is made up of tiny drops of water. Even so, life is but an endless series of little details, actions, speeches and thoughts. And the consequences, whether good or bad of even the least of them, are far-reaching.
A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved.
-Kurt Vonnegut
"The Sirens of Titan"
Live in the world like a waterfowl. The water clings to the bird, but the bird shakes it off. Live in the world like a mudfish. The fish lives in the mud, but its skin is always bright and shiny.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
