We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life, when all that we need to make us happy is something to be enthusiastic about. Albert Einstein quotes There are...people we wonder about but don't make...attempts to contact. Perhaps we're afraid of empty conversation with someone we're not sure if we ever connected to in the first place, or perhaps we're curious about someone whose life we watched for awhile from afar. Sometimes it's just been too long, and sometimes we can't even articulate the need to know whatever happened to so-and-so. Where are they? Did they make it? Are they happy? Are they passionate about something in their lives? Are they anything like the people we once knew? Audrey Beth Stein quotes It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion, it is easy in solitude to live after your own; but the great man is he who, in the midst of the world, keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude. Ralph Waldo Emerson quotes Character is higher than intellect. A great soul will be strong to live as well as think. Ralph Waldo Emerson quotes If a child is to keep his inborn sense of wonder, he needs the companionship of at least one adult who can share it, rediscovering with him the joy, excitement and mystery of the world we live in. Rachel Carson quotes When men speak ill of you, live so as nobody may believe them. Plato quotes True friendship multiplies the good in life and divides its evils. Strive to have friends, for life without friends is like life on a desert island….to find one real friend in a lifetime is good fortune; to keep him is a blessing. Baltasar Gracian quotes You know, by the time you reach my age, you've made plenty of mistakes if you've lived your life properly. Ronald Reagan quotes I studied the lives of great men and famous women, and I found that the men and women who got to the top were those who did the jobs they had in hand, with everything they had of energy and enthusiasm. Henry Truman quotes I have lived in this world just long enough to look carefully the second time into things that I am most certain of the first time. Josh Billings quotes |
