When you're young, try to be realistic; as you get older, become idealistic. You'll live longer. Anthony J. D'Angelo quotes What if a demon were to creep after you one night, in your loneliest loneliness, and say, 'This life which you live must be lived by you once again and innumerable times more; and every pain and joy and thought and sigh must come again to you, all in the same sequence. The eternal hourglass will again and again be turned and you with it, dust of the dust!' Would you throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse that demon? Or would you answer, 'Never have I heard anything more divine'? Friedrich Nietzsche quotes Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got a hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it onto future generations. George Bernard Shaw quotes I like to see a man proud of the place in which he lives. I like to see a man live so that his place will be proud of him. Abraham Lincoln quotes Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself. George Bernard Shaw quotes I look to the future because that's where I'm going to spend therest of my life. George F. Burns quotes Once I knew only darkness and stillness...my life was without past or future...but a little word from the fingers of another fell into my hand that clutched at emptiness, and my heart leaped to the rapture of living. Helen Keller quotes Love bravely, live bravely, be courageous, there's really nothing to lose. Jewel Kilcher quotes I would rather live in a world where my life is surrounded by mystery than live in a world so small that my mind could comprehend it. Harry Emerson Fosdick quotes Of all the things which wisdom acquires to produce the blessedness of the complete life far the greatest is the possesion of Friendship. Epicurus quotes |
