Eleanor Roosevelt - Quotes for life
People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built.

There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.
Albert Einstein - Quotes for life
Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.
Albert Einstein - Quotes for life
There are as many nights as days, and the one is just as long as the other in the year's course. Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word 'happy' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.
Carl Jung - Quotes for life
When you have only two pennies left in the world, buy a loaf of bread with one, and a lily with the other.
Chinese Proverb - Quotes for life
Courage, it would seem, is nothing less than the power to overcome danger, misfortune, fear, injustice, while continuing to affirm inwardly that life with all its sorrows is good; that everything is meaningful even if in a sense beyond our understanding; and that there is always tomorrow.
Dorothy Thompson - Quotes for life
Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live.
Dorothy Thompson - Quotes for life
And we should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once. And we should call every truth false which was not accompanied by at least one laugh.
Friedrich Nietzsche - Quotes for life
What is the meaning of life? To be happy and useful.
Dalai Lama - Quotes for life
Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.
Helen Keller - Quotes for life
However mean your life is, meet it and live it: do not shun it and call it hard names. Cultivate poverty like a garden herb, like sage. Do not trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or friends. Things do not change, we change. Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts.
Henry David Thoreau - Quotes for life
Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life.
Immanuel Kant
You don't get to choose how you're going to die. Or when. You can only decide how you're going to live. Now.
Joan Baez - Quotes for life
The personal life deeply lived always expands into truths beyond itself.
Anais Nin - Quotes for life
Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.
Anais Nin - Quotes for life
Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death.
Anais Nin - Quotes for life
Life is the flower for which love is the honey.
Victor Hugo - Quotes for life
The universe is transformation; our life is what our thoughts make it.
Marcus Aurelius - Quotes for life
Love the moment. Flowers grow out of dark moments. Therefore, each moment is vital. It affects the whole. Life is a succession of such moments and to live each, is to succeed.
Corita Kent - Quotes for life
The universe is transformation; our life is what our thoughts make it.
Marcus Aurelius - Quotes for life
An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.
Martin Luther King Jr - Quotes for life
Life is to be lived, not controlled, and humanity is won by continuing to play in face of certain defeat.
Ralph Ellison - Quotes for life
Life is a train of moods like a string of beads; and as we pass through them they prove to be many colored lenses, which paint the world their own hue, and each shows us only what lies in its own focus.
Ralph Waldo Emerson - Quotes for life
Life is a succession of lessons, which must be lived to be understood.

The principle of life is that life responds by corresponding; your life becomes the thing you have decided it shall be.

Life can be found only in the present moment. The past is gone, the future is not yet here, and if we do not go back to ourselves in the present moment, we cannot be in touch with life.
Thich Nhat Hanh - Quotes for life
It is in our lives and not our words that our religion must be read.

Zeno - Quotes for life
Fear less, hope more. Eat less, chew more. Whine less, breathe more. Talk less, say more. Hate less, love more . . . And all good things are yours.
Swedish Proverb - Quotes for life
You must be the change you wish to see in the world.
Mahatma Gandhi - Quotes for life
Ethics cannot be based upon our obligations toward [people], but they are complete and natural only when we feel this Reverence for Life and the desire to have compassion for and to help all creatures insofar as it is in our power. I think that this ethic will become more and more recognized because of its great naturalness and because it is the foundation of a true humanism toward which we must strive if our culture is to become truly ethical.
Albert Schweitzer - Quotes for life
Reverence for Life affords me my fundamental principle of morality, namely, that good consists in maintaining, assisting, and enhancing life and that to destroy, harm, or to hinder life is evil. Affirmation of the world -- that is affirmation of the will to live, which appears in phenomenal forms all around me -- is only possible for me in that I give myself out for other life.
Albert Schweitzer - Quotes for life
It's faith in something and enthusiasm for something that makes a life worth living.
Oliver Wendell Holmes - Quotes for life
The best things in life are nearest: Breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at your feet, duties at your hand, the path of right just before you. Then do not grasp at the stars, but do life's plain, common work as it comes, certain that daily duties and daily bread are the sweetest things in life.
Robert Louis Stevenson - Quotes for life
Life is the only real counselor; wisdom unfiltered through personal experience does not become a part of the moral tissue.
Edith Wharton - Quotes for life
I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the community, and as long as I live it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can.
George Bernard Shaw - Quotes for life
