Life is not to be measured by the moments of breath in it, but by the moments which are breathtaking.
When life gives you a 100 reasons to cry, show life that you have a 1000 reasons to smile.
The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.
“In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on.”
― Robert Frost.
Everything has been figured out except how to live.
When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life in such a manner that when you die, you rejoice and the world cries. – A Cherokee saying.
Treasure every moment that you have! And treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time with. And remember time waits for no one. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.
Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are a good person is a little like expecting the bull not to attack you because you are a vegetarian.
Expecting only good things to happen to you because you are a good person, is a little like expecting you to win in a lottery, everytime you play.
Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
You can’t take life too seriously, because you are not going to come out of it alive anyway.
There is one sure way to find out whether you have achieved your life’s mission; if you are alive, you have not.
Strangely when death occurs and life comes to an end, the mission of life stands literally achieved.
Ultimately it is death that actually calls the bluff of life.
We are born into this world wet, naked, hungry and crying; and then things begin to get worse.
Learn as if you are going to live forever; live as if you are going to die tomorrow.
There are two great rules of life; One is a general rule and the other a particular one; the general rule is that if only you try sincerely, you can always get what you want in the end. The particular rule is that everyone is more or less an exception to the first rule.
Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure; Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. - Helen Keller
It may be difficult for us to find happiness within ourselves, but it is impossible to find it elsewhere. - Buddha
Any effort to understand the universe is one of the few things that lift life a little above the level of a farce and give it some of the grace of tragedy. – Steven Weinberg
Often in life, we remember the things we should forget and we forget the things we should remember.
Years may wrinkle the skin; but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.
Life is like riding a bicycle; to keep your balance, you must keep moving. – A.Einstein
Worrying is like a rocking chair; it gives you something to do, but it does not get you anywhere
When the going gets tough, it is the tough who get going. – Joseph Kennedy
He who has a why to live for can bear with almost anyhow. --- Nietzsche
Don’t be afraid to take a big step if one is indicated. You can’t cross a chasm in two small jumps.
He who knows that enough is enough will have always enough.
The goal is not to live forever, but to create something that will.
Life swings like a pendulum backward and forward between boredom and pain. --- Schopenhauer
The tragedy of life is that all good things come to an end, but the saving grace is that all bad things also end inevitably.
The soul would have no rainbow, if eyes had no tears. - A Cherokee saying
Pay attention to whispers, so we don’t have to listen to screams. - Cherokee saying
Don’t cry because it is over; smile because it happened.
Accepting the essential inscrutability of life in any case is surely preferable to its opposite; capitulating to the tyranny of intransigent belief.
One of the weaknesses of our generation is our apparent inability to distinguish our need from our greed.
It is better to conquer yourself, than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is always is yours. It can’t be taken by angels, demons, heaven or hell. --- Buddha
The irrationality of a thing is no argument against its existence, rather a condition for it. - Nietzsche
Living actually is an imperfect tense that never becomes a present. -- Nietzsche
The past was never perfect; the present is imperfect and the future, tense.
To live is to suffer; to survive is to find a meaning in the suffering. -- Nietzsche
We love life not because we are used to living, but because we are used to loving. - Nietzsche
Love is not the dying moan of a distant violin, but it is the triumphant twang of the bedspring.
Remember, if the world didn’t suck, we would all fall off.
Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, but it is about learning to dance in the rain.
Never allow someone to be your priority while you are just their option and may never even figure in their scheme of things.
It is true that we don’t know what we have got until we lose it: but it is also true that we don’t know what we have been missing until it arrives.
Strangely life starts making sense only when we are convinced that it does not make any sense.
Life is the greatest innovation of nature as well its greatest farce.
The problem with life is that it does not have any viable alternative.
The absolute truth about life is that there is absolutely no truth in it.
It is only through selfless sacrifice that our soul shines in supreme splendour.
Actually there is no more purpose or meaning in life than what you can put into it.
Life is fundamentally a mystery to be lived; it is not to be looked upon as a problem to be solved.
"I always knew looking back on the tears would make me laugh, but I never knew looking back on the laughs would make me cry."
Not a shred of evidence exists in favor of the idea that life is serious.
The business of biological life is a war of all against all. - Schopenhauer
The lie is a condition of life. -- Nietzsche
The problem for man is that it is nature alone that gets to have the last laugh and not man in any case.
Nobody wins the battle of life, as there is no winner at the end.
That the world is absurd and irrational is the only reason that sustains its existence.
Strangely in life, when we refuse to accept anything but the best, we very often get it.. - Somerset Maugham
The world is at our feet all the time, but we are hardly able to realise it.
Life has in it all the contradictory ingredients in full measure, because it is a miracle as well as madness, a wonder as well as a waste, ecstasy as well as agony, fulfillment as well as a farce and finally it is everything as well as nothing.
Life is to be considered bizarre because uncertainty is the only certainty here , perpetual change is the only thing permanent, illusion is the only truth, myth is the only reality and pretence and falsehood are highly respected and revered.
If we eventually find evidence of life and alien civilisation in a distant planet of any galaxy, then what a scope it gives for folly and misery; If we however do not find any such evidence, then what a colossal waste of matter and space it is.
