Life is short. Time is fleeting. Realise the Self. Purity of the heart is the gateway to God. Aspire. Renounce. Meditate. Be good; do good. Be kind; be compassionate. Inquire, know Thyself
Sri Swami Sivananda
I think the purpose of life is to be useful, to be responsible, to be honourable, to be compassionate. It is, after all, to matter: to count, to stand for something, to have made some difference that you lived at all.
Leo C. Rosten
I can do no other than be reverent before everything that is called life. I can do no other than to have compassion for all that is called life. That is the beginning and the foundation of all ethics
Albert Schweitzer
One's life has value so long as one attributes value to the life of others, by means of love, friendship, indignation and compassion
Simone De Beauvoir
The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honourable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Life is pure adventure, and the sooner we realize that, the quicker we will be able to treat life as art
Maya Angelo
A life without adventure is likely to be unsatisfying, but a life in which adventure is allowed to take whatever form it will is sure to be short.
Bertrand Russell
Prayer is not merely an occasional impulse to which we respond when we are in trouble: prayer is a life attitude.
Walter A. Mueller
We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the life that is waiting for us.
Joseph Campbell
Stress is the trash of modern life we all generate it but if you don't dispose of it properly, it will pile up and overtake your life.
Danzae Pace
To be idle is a short road to death and to be diligent is a way of life; foolish people are idle, wise people are diligent.
Buddha
Simplicity is an acquired taste. Mankind, left free, instinctively complicates life.
