Life

Life is a great adventure, or it is nothing.

Real generosity toward the future lies in giving all to the present.

As for me, I know of nothing else but miracles.

Life is the flower for which love is the honey.

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.

I like too many things and get all confused and hung-up running from one falling star to another til I drop.

Life is a verb. Life is not a noun. It is really “living” not “life.” It is not love, it is loving. It is not relationship, it is relating. It is not a song, it is singing. It is not a dance, it is dancing. See the difference, savor the difference.

And in the end it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.

To finish the moment, to find the journey's end in every step of the road, to live the greatest number of good hours, is wisdom.

Nobody ever died of laughter.

The essence of optimism is that it takes no account of the present, but it is a source of inspiration, of vitality and hope where others have resigned; it enables a man to hold his head high, to claim the future for himself and not to abandon it to his enemy.

Life was meant to be lived, and curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.

If I had to live my life again, I'd make the same mistakes, only sooner.

Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.

Sometimes the best helping hand you can get is a good, firm push.

The hardest thing to learn in life is which bridge to cross and which to burn.

Our Creator would never have made such lovely days and have given us the deep hearts to enjoy them unless we were meant to be immortal.

Showing up is 80 percent of life.

An early-morning walk is a blessing for the whole day.

One ought, every day at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture and, if possible, speak a few reasonable words.

Is not life a hundred times too short for us to bore ourselves?

The art of living is more like wrestling than dancing.

We are all mortal until the first kiss and the second glass of wine.

Be glad of life because it gives you the chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at the stars.
