Quotations
Life
The language of excitement is at best picturesque merely. You must be calm before you can utter oracles.
-Henry David Thoreau
Life doesn't make any sense, and we all pretend it does. Comedy's job is to point out that it doesn't make sense, and that it doesn't make much difference anyway.
-Eric Idle
I believe when life gives you lemons, you should make lemonade...and try to find someone whose life has given them vodka, and have a party.

Let us live so that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry.
-Mark Twain
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"
Learning is retained through putting into practice; family prestige is maintained through good behavior; a respectable person is recognised by his excellent qualities; and anger is seen in the eyes.
-Chanakya "Chanakya"
The human life is not meant for compromises, but to explore and tread the path
of life on the basis of your skills and talents.
-Deep Trivedi
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 price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it.
-Henry David Thoreau
