Quotations
Life
What do you want a meaning for? Life is a desire, not a meaning.
-Charlie Chaplin
Life is life - whether in a cat, or dog or man. There is no difference there between a cat and man. The idea of difference is a human conception for man’s own advantage.
-Sri Aurobindo "Sri Aurobindo"
In life, whatever you achieve by putting in efforts will never give you happiness,
as the pain starts right from the time of making an effort. On the other hand, the
tasks that you enjoy doing, persist for long spells; then whatever you gain out of
it, the end result will always be both positive and effective for your life.
-Deep Trivedi
When life is viewed as good, a bad day is easily absorbed.
-Neil Maxwell
Breathe. Let go. And remind yourself that this very moment is the only one you know you have for sure.
-Oprah Winfrey
Either you lead a life which is luxurious on the material level or you lead a luxurious life of God’s blessings - one of the two you have to choose, the time has come…The enjoyment of life is only possible if the world could get connected to the spirit.
-A Spiritual Leader "Mata Nirmala Devi"
Don’t hate life and death or love life and death. Keep your every thought free of delusion, and in life you’ll witness the beginning of nirvana, and in death you’ll experience the assurance of no rebirth.
-Bodhidharma "Bodhidharma"
The best thing to do with the best things in life is to give them up.
-Ambrose Bierce
You can get all A's and still flunk life.
