Life is not a manifestation or an indulgence; it is a predicament.
Life is just an opportunity to grow a soul.
However mean your life is, meet it and live it:
do not shun it and call it hard names.
Cultivate poverty like a garden herb, like sage.
Do not trouble yourself much to get new things,
whether clothes or friends. Things do not change, we change.
Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts.
Men for the sake of getting a living forget to live.
Life is real! Life is earnest!
It seems that everything has been figured out, except how to live.
And in the end, it’s not the years in your life that count.
It’s the life in your years.
How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.
It is TIME in this life’s journey that reminds us to cherish each moment.
Because each time that passes will never come again.
What we leave behind is not as important as how we have lived.
Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness,
and the word ‘happy’ would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.
I love my past. I love my present. I’m not ashamed of what I’ve had, and I’m not sad because I have it no longer.
What do we live for, if it is not to make life less difficult for each other?
Be not afraid of life. Believe that life is worth living, and your belief will help create the fact.
Be glad of life because it gives you the chance to love, to work, to play, and to look up at the stars.
