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"

We are always getting ready to live but never living.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is neither creation nor destruction, neither destiny nor free will, neither path nor achievement; this is the final truth.
-Ramana Maharshi
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.
The aim of life is to live, and to live means to be aware. Joyously, drunkenly, serenely, divinely aware.
-Henry Miller
Everything has been figured out, except how to live.
-Jean Paul Sartre
If you closely observe life, you will find, here with every pleasure there is pain...
and with every pain, pleasure. Hence, among all that is happening, if you keep
your eyes fixed only at the brighter side of it, you can always be happy.
-Deep Trivedi
To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
Travel light on your journey in life. Your desires and expectations are heavy baggage which slow you down and thwart your progress. Let them go.
Don't be afraid of death; be afraid of an unlived life.
-Natalie Babbitt
