There is suffering in life, and there are defeats. No one can avoid them. But it's better to lose some of the battles in the struggles for your dreams than to be defeated without ever knowing what you're fighting for.
Paulo Coelho
Is life so wretched? Isn't it rather your hands which are too small, your vision which is muddled? You are the one who must grow up.
Dag Hammarskjld
Life is like a trumpet. If you don't put anything into it, you don't get anything out.
William Christopher Handy
Our desire to conserve wildlife for our children and our children's children forces us to bring out into the open conservation's secret question : Does God give a prize for the maximum number of human beings? Put another way, which shall we bequeath to our grandchildren : human life with nature, or human life without nature?
Garrett James Hardin
For those of us who believe in the value of every human life, there isnt any more inspiring work under way in the world today.
Bill Gates
You ask What is life? That is the same as asking What is a carrot? A carrot is a carrot and we know nothing more.
Anton Pavlovich Chekhov
Life is merely a fracas on an unmapped terrain, and the universe a geometry stricken with epilepsy.
Emil Cioran
Death is not the end, death can never be the end. Death is the road. Life is the traveller. The Soul is the Guide
Sri Chinmoy
To be true to oneself is the hardest test of life.
Sri Chinmoy
All of life and human relations have become so incomprehensibly complex that, when you think about it, it becomes terrifying and your heart stands still.
Anton Pavlovich Chekhov
Ah, life is a gate, a way, a path to Paradise anyway, why not live for fun and joy and love or some sort of girl by a fireside, why not go to your desire and LAUGH.
Jack Kerouac
To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter... to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird's nest or a wildflower in spring - these are some of the rewards of the simple life.
John Burroughs
There is no God, no man-made God; a bigger, stronger, crueller man; Black phantom of our baby-fears, ere Thought, the life of Life, began.
Sir Richard Francis Burton
A President is neither prince nor pope, and I don't seek a window on men's souls. In fact, I yearn for a greater tolerance, an easy-goingness about each other's attitudes and way of life.
George Herbert Walker Bush
