Quotations
Life
The art of living well and the art of dying well are one.
-Epicurus
When we see everything in life as a game, we will be equally joyous when falling as we are when rising. If we can fully understand this – if we can see life as swinging on a swing – we will never fall apart when failure comes our way.
-A Spiritual Leader "Mata Amritanandamayi"
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.
-Swami Sivananda "Swami Sivananda"
This is how the entire course of a life can be changed : By doing nothing.
-Ian McEwan
"On Chesil Beach"
Sing your life; any fool can think of words that rhyme.
-Morrissey
Life doesn’t get easier or more forgiving; we get stronger and more resilient.
-Steve Maraboli
"Life, the Truth, and Being Free"
Life every man holds dear; but the dear man holds honor far more precious dear than life.
-William Shakespeare
Here I am trying to live, or rather, I am trying to teach the death within me how to live.
-Jean Cocteau
I'm not saying it's going to be easy. Nothing in life is easy. But that's no reason to give up. You'll be surprised what you can accomplish if you set your mind to it. After all, you only have one life, so you should try to make the most of it.
-Louis Sachar
