Life resembles a novel more often than novels resemble life.

George Sand

Life can be magnificent and overwhelming -- that is the whole tragedy. Without beauty, love, or danger it would almost be easy to live.

Albert Camus

It matters not how a man dies, but how he lives. The act of dying is not of importance, it lasts so short a time.

Samuel Johnson

Life is the desert, life the solitude, death joins us to the great majority.

Edward Young

We are born crying, live complaining, and die disappointed.

Thomas Fuller

To live lightheartedly but not recklessly; to be gay without being boisterous; to be courageous without being bold; to show trust and cheerful resignation without fatalism - this is the art of living.

La Fontaine

Sometimes life is going to hit you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith.

Steve Jobs

You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.

Steve Jobs

The longer I live, the more I read, the more patiently I think, and the more anxiously I inquire, the less I seem to know...Do justly. Love mercy. Walk humbly. This is enough.

John Adams

The impulse to travel is one of the hopeful symptoms of life.

Agnes Repplier

He who is not everyday conquering some fear has not learned the secret of life.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

It is not length of life, but depth of life.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

You come into the world with nothing, and the purpose of your life is to make something out of nothing.

Henry Louis Mencken

Is life worth living? It all depends on the liver.

William James

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

Civilization is a stream with banks. The stream is sometimes filled with from people , stealing, shouting and doing the things historians usually record, while on the banks, unnoticed, people build homes, make love, raise children, sing songs, write poetry and even whittle statues. The story of civilization is the story of what happened on the banks. Historians are pessimists because they ignore the banks for the river.

Will Durant

Another fresh new year is here..
Another year to live!
To banish worry, doubt, and fear,
To love and laugh and give!

This bright new year is given me
To live each day with zest...
To daily grow and try to be
My highest and my best!

I have the opportunity
Once more to right some wrongs,
To pray for peace, to plant a tree,
And sing more joyful songs!

William Arthur Ward

Chuyến phiêu lưu của đời là học hỏi. Mục đích của đời là trưởng thành. Bản tính của đời là thay đổi. Thách thức của đời là vượt qua. Tinh túy của đời là quan tâm. Cơ hội của đời là phụng sự. Bí mật của đời là dám làm. Hương vị của đời là giúp đỡ. Vẻ đẹp của đời là cho đi.

William Arthur Ward

Every person has the power to make others happy.
Some do it simply by entering a room - others by leaving the room.
Some individuals leave trails of gloom; others, trails of joy.
Some leave trails of hate and bitterness; others, trails of love and harmony.
Some leave trails of cynicism and pessimism; others trails of faith and optimism.
Some leave trails of criticism and resignation; others trails of gratitude and hope.
What kind of trails do you leave?

William Arthur Ward
