Some of our Favorite Quotes Life and Living The least of things with a meaning is worth more in life than the greatest of things without it. - Carl Jung Life is like an ice cream cone. You've got to eat it when you get it. You got to eat it fast. Because if you don't, it's going to melt all over your hand and down your arm. Do you want to go through life licking your arm? So live! Live! Live! Never let an empty moment go by! - "Jim Ignitowski", from the TV sitcom "Taxi" Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter. - Martin Luther King, Jr. Life has loveliness to sell, All beautiful and splendid things, Blue waves whitened on a cliff, Soaring fire that aways and sings And children's faces looking up Holding wonder like a cup. - Sara Teasdale (1884-1933) What is any art but a mould in which to imprison for a moment the shining, elusive element which is life itself. - Willa Cather (1876-1947) If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away. - Thoreau (1817-1862) Nothing is ever real till it is experienced. - John Keats (1795-1821) The Family of Man is more than three billion strong. It lives in more than 100 nations. Most of its members are not white. Most of them are not Christians. Most of them know nothing about free enterprise, or due process of law, or the Australian ballot. - John F. Kennedy The sum of the whole is this: walk and be happy; walk and be healthy. The best way to lengthen out our days is to walk steadily and with a purpose. - Charles Dickens (1812-1870) In saffron-colored mantle, from the tides of ocean rose the morning to bring light to gods and man. - Homer (c. B.C. 700) Teachers open the door... You enter by yourself. - Chinese Proverb I do not set my life at a pin's fee, And for my soul, what can it do to that, Being a thing immortal as itself? - William Shakespeare (1564-1616) You know life... It's rather like opening a can of sardines. We are all of us looking for the key. - Alan Bennett (from Beyond the Fringe) The first thing to be done is laughter, because that sets the trend for the whole day. If you wake up laughing, you will soon begin to feel how absurd life is. Nothing is serious: even your disappointments are laughable; even your pain is laughable; even you [and I] are laughable. - Osho (1931-1990) The world's affairs and the floating clouds -- why question them? You had best take life easily -- and have a good dinner. - Wang Wei (699-761) For everything you have missed, you have gained something else; and for everything you gain, you lose something else. - Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such. - Henry Miller Walk on a rainbow trail; walk on a trail of song, and all about you will be beauty. There is a way out of every dark mist, over a rainbow trail. - Navajo Song Life is what we make it, and the world is what we make it. The eyes of the cheerful and of the melancholy are fixed upon the same creation; but very different are the aspects which it bears them. - Albert Pike (1809-1891) "Is this one tribe or a stranger?" is the calculation of the narrow-minded; but to those of a noble disposition the world itself is but one family. - Hitopadesa Proverb To be what we are, and to become what we are capable of becoming, is the only end of life. - Sophocles (B.C. 495-406) Let your life lightly dance on the edges of Time like dew on the tip of a leaf. - Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) Dreams are the touchstones of our characters. - Thoreau (1817-1862) Life is a magic vase filled to the brim; so made that you cannot dip into it nor draw from it - drop in malice and it overflows hate; drop in charity and it overflows love. - John Ruskin (1819-1900) Life is mostly froth and bubble. Two things stand like stone. Kindness in another's trouble, courage in your own. - Adam Lindsay Gordon (1833-1870) Two men look out through the bars: One sees the mud, the other the stars. - Frederick Langbridge (1849-1923) What goes around comes around, so remember to circulate those "thinks" you wish to experience and file 13 the rest. Today is an excellent day for being alive. Living Is For Everyone - It won't hurt to lighten up and enjoy the wonderful world we share. Life makes its own rivers; go with the flow. Live from miracle to miracle. - Artur Rubinstein Today is when everything that's going to happen from now on begins. - Harvey Firestone, Jr.
