Quotations
Life
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
"Holes"
To be able to look back upon ones life in satisfaction is to live twice.
-Khalil Gibran
Life loves the liver of it.
-Maya Angelou
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.
-Ron White
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"
Life has no meaning, the moment you lose the illusion of being eternal.
-Jean Paul Sartre "Jean-Paul Sartre"
The combat of life is greater than every other earthly combat.
-Plato
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, Wow! What a Ride!
-Hunter S. Thompson
No one who does good deeds will ever come to a bad end, either here or in the world to come. When such people die, they go to other realms where the righteous live.
-Srimad Bhagavad Gita "Bhagwad Gita 6.40-41"
