The whole life of man is self-expression… We suffer if we do not express ourselves.

The whole life of man is self-expression… We suffer if we do not express ourselves.
It seems, in fact, as though the second half of a man’s life is made up of nothing but the habits he has accumulated during the first half.
-Fyodor M. Dostoevsky
Life without freedom is like a body without a soul, and freedom without thought is like a confused spirit.
Surely my prayer and my sacrifice and my life and my death are (all) for Allah, the Lord of the worlds.
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.
In three words I can sum up everything I've learnt about life: it goes on.
-Robert Frost
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.
For breath is life, and if you breathe well you will live long on earth.
Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them.
-Dalai Lama
Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.
