Life

The unexamined life is not worth living.

It is not the length of life, but the depth of life.

True life is lived when tiny changes occur.

Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them.

To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.

Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving.

Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to live.

Life appears to me too short to be spent in nursing animosity or registering wrongs.

I exist as I am, that is enough.

I would rather die of passion than of boredom.

Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.

It is not that we have a short time to live, but that we waste a lot of it.

The best portion of a good man's life: his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love.

Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit.

All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players.

The life given us by nature is short, but the memory of a well-spent life is eternal.

A person learns as long as they live.

A room without books is like a body without a soul.

Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.

Begin at once to live, and count each separate day as a separate life.

All grown-ups were once children — but only few of them remember it.

In every real man a child is hidden that wants to play.

The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it.

Beware the barrenness of a busy life.

To live without hope is to cease to live.

Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.

The soul is healed by being with children.

When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive — to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.

Life is long if you know how to use it.

The flame that burns twice as bright burns half as long.

A good laugh and a long sleep are the two best cures for anything.

Adventure is worthwhile in itself.

Sometimes even to live is an act of courage.

Without music, life would be a mistake.

I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will.

As long as you live, keep learning how to live.

Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead.

The only constant in life is change.

The mountains are calling and I must go.

Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.
