Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live.
Norman Cousins
To live is like to love - all reason is against it, and all healthy instinct for it.
Samuel Butler
When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, 'I used everything you gave me'.
Erma Bombeck
The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.
Mark Twain
Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith.
Steve Jobs
Life is like an onion. You peel it off one layer at a time, and sometimes you weep.
Carl Sandburg
Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans.
John Lennon
To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing.
Martin Luther
Character develops itself in the stream of life.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.
Marcus Aurelius
Music is moonlight in the gloomy night of life.
Jean Paul Richter
In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.
Abraham Lincoln
Love, we say, is life; but love without hope and faith is agonizing death.
Elbert Hubbard
Like a morning dream, life becomes more and more bright the longer we live, and the reason of everything appears more clear. What has puzzled us before seems less mysterious, and the crooked paths look straighter as we approach the end.
Human life is as evanescent as the morning dew or a flash of lightning.
The only time you really live fully is from thirty to sixty. The young are slaves to dreams; the old servants of regrets. Only the middle-aged have all their five senses in the keeping of their wits.
Theodore Roosevelt
One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today.
Dale Carnegie
It takes half your life before you discover life is a do-it-yourself project.
Napoleon Hill
My favorite things in life don't cost any money. It's really clear that the most precious resource we all have is time.
The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.
Elie Wiesel
