As we advance in life, we acquire a keener sense of the value of 
time. Nothing else, indeed, seems of any consequence; and we become 
misers in this respect.
	- William Hazlitt, The Feeling of Immortality in Youth

To the extent that you entertain lies and deceit, you are held 
prisoner in a world cut off from reality. The truth you hide from 
yourself, prevents you from growth and fulfillment. The truth you 
hide from others, keeps you distantly apart. The truth shines a 
bright light on life, so you can clearly see the way to go. 
Success, achievement, happiness, joy, fellowship, and fulfillment, 
thrive in the warm and nurturing light of the truth. Honesty is the 
most direct path to wherever you want to go. Truth and honesty are 
often difficult, yet never more difficult, in the end, than deceit. 
To think otherwise, is to deceive even yourself. Hiding in the 
shadows of falsehood, makes it impossible to move forward. That 
the truth is moral and ethical, is no secret. Yet truth is also 
practical, efficient, and effective in every worthy pursuit, 
something well known by those who enjoy lasting success. Live 
in the bright, empowering light. Embrace the truth. It always serves
you best.
	- Ralph Marston

have to get it right the first time.
	- Margaret Mead

Remember where you have been and know where you are going. Life 
is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way.
	- Nikita Koloff

We must be steady enough in ourselves, to be open and to let the 
winds of life blow through us, to be our breath, our inspiration; 
to breathe with them, mobile and soft in the limberness of 
our bodies, in our agility, our ability, as it were, to dance, and 
yet to stand upright...
	- Mary Caroline Richards

the only one that has to live your life.
	- Nikita Koloff

I was told a long time ago that dreams are the building blocks 
of life. Now I look around myself, at the tragedies that have 
befallen this beautiful nation and am amazed at how our entire 
nation stands together, and with one voice says, "What have you 
accomplished? We're still here. Our dreams are real. You cannot, and 
will not win." I am amazed further still at the world's response 
to this message. We watch as history unfolds before us, we watch the 
heros that are working day and night, trying to recover those lost. 
I love my country, my freedom, and I will fight for it.
	- Heather Cowley

Criticism in life is very easy to find, but encouragement

scare you unduly, for they keep boredom at bay and spark 
creativity.
	- R. I. Fitzhenry

Challenges are what make life interesting; overcoming them is what 
makes life meaningful.
	- Joshua J. Marine

I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I 
work, the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life 
is no "brief candle" to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which 
I have got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as 
brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.
	- George Bernard Shaw

I can think of nothing less pleasurable than a life devoted 
to pleasure.

By the sme process you can build up inspiration, excitement 
and surging depth of joy. 
	- Norman Vincent Peale

of our service and relationship to mankind.

with better care than they plan their lives. Perhaps that is 
because escape is easier than change.  
	- Jim Rohn

If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall 
into someone else's plan.  And guess what they may have planned 
for you?  Not much. 
	- Jim Rohn

Life's disappointments are harder to take when you don't 
know any swear words.
	- Calvin & Hobbes

You can make out of your life chicken shit or chicken salad... 
it's up to you.
	- "Cousins" Lloyd Bridges to Ted Danson

I wanted a perfect ending...Now I've learned, the hard way, that 
some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear 
beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to 
change, taking the moment, and making the best of it, without 
knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious ambiguity.
	- Gilda Radner

You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience 
in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able 
to say to yourself, “I lived through this horror. I can take 
the next thing that comes along." You must do the thing 
you think you cannot do. 
	- Eleanor Roosevelt

Life's up and downs provide windows of opportunity to determine

you do with what you have left.
	- Hubert Humphrey

It is not in the still calm of life, or the repose of pacific 
station that great characters are formed.
	- Abigail Adams

Life moves on, whether we act as cowards or heroes. Life has 
no other discipline to impose, if we would be realize it, than 
to accept life unquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to, 
everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate 
or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems nasty, 
painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy, and strength, 
if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one for 
him who has the vision to recognize it as such. 
	- Henry Miller

Life is the movie you see through your own unique eyes. It 
makes little difference what's happening out there. It's how 
you take it that counts.

Life is luck, make it.
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it.
	- Mother Teresa

A faithful friend is the medicine of life.
	- Apocrypha


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 a daring adventure or nothing at all.
	- Helen Keller

However mean your life is, meet it and live it; do not shun it

faults even in Paradise. Love your life.
	- Henry David Thoreau

If you don't change your beliefs, your life will be like this

happen next.

children to thrive in that adversity.
	- Jeanne Moutoussamy-Ashe

Don't let others plan your life. "Life offers two great gifts 
- time, and the ability to choose how we spend it. Planning is a
process of choosing among those many options. If we do not choose to
plan, then we choose to have others plan for us.
	- Richard I. Winword

I believe you can have whatever you really want in this life, in 
one form or another, sooner or later. All you have to do is take are
of your health and be lucky enough to live for a while. But you
can't have it all at once and you can't have it forever. No 
life has the room for everything in it, not on the same day.    
	- Barbara Sher

Life isn't supposed to be an all or nothing battle between 
misery and bliss. Life isn't supposed to be a battle at all. And 
when it comes to happiness, well, sometimes life is just okay, 
sometimes it's comfortable, sometimes wonderful, sometimes 
boring, sometimes unpleasant. When your day's not perfect, it's 
not a failure or a terrible loss. It's just another day.  
	- Barbara Sher

The significant business of your life is alive and well, 
awaiting discovery, within your very soul. You and I were born to 
come into ourselves as complete and distinctive persons. 
Accepting this, we build a valuable life. This is the hidden, 
undergirding occupation beneath anyone's meaningful purpose.    
	- Marsha Sinetar

If you suffer, thank God! It is a sure sign you are alive.

words?

The secret to life is to produce something you're not a product of. 
	-Willem Goedvolk

Even if we live life to our full potential, we still yearn for a 
greater fulfillment hereafter. 
	- David Winter

It is not easy to live life sometimes, And face the world with a 
smile When you're crying inside. It takes a lot of courage to 
reach down inside yourself, hold on to that strength that's still 
there, And know that tomorrow is a new day with new possibilities. 
But if you can hold on long enough to this through, You'll come 
out a new person stronger, With more understanding and with a new 
pride in yourself From knowing that you made it!
	- Unknown

Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what

	- Danish Proverb

I understand life isn't fair, but why couldn't it just once be 
unfair in my favor?
	- Christy Murphy

My importance to the world is relatively small. On the other hand, 
my importance to myself is tremendous. I am all I have to work with, 
to play with, to suffer and to enjoy. It is not the eyes of others 
that I am wary of, but of my own. I do not intend to let myself down 
more than I can possibly help, and I find that the fewer illusions 
I have about myself or the world around me, the better company I am 
for myself.
	- Noel Coward

... the messiness of experience, that may be what we mean by life.

we do.
