Life must be lived and curiosity kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.
Eleanor Roosevelt

Life ought to be a struggle of desire toward adventures whose nobility will fertilize the soul.
Rebecca West

Life is 10% of what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it.
John Maxwell

Life is the flower for which love is the honey.
Victor Hugo

Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.
Soren Kierkegaard

Anyone who lives within their means suffers from a lack of imagination.
Oscar Wilde

The true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit.
Nelson Henderson

I went to the woods because i wished to live deliberately, to front only the essentials facts of life, and see if i could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when i came to die, discover that i had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor do i wish to practice resignation, unless it was quite necesaary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live sturdily and sparten-like as to put to rout was not life…
Excerpt from book Walden by Henry David Thoresau

Life is like a hot bath. It feels good while you’re in it, but the longer you stay in, the more wrinkled you get.
Robbert Oustin.

Things will happen in your life that you can’t stop, but that’s no reason to shut out the world. There’s a purpose for the good and for the bad.
Walter Sparrow

There is only one success – to be able to spend your life in your own way. Christopher Morley

I cannot believe that the purpose of life is to be happy. I think the purpose of life is to be useful, to be responsible, to be compassionate. It is, above all to matter, to count, to stand for something, to have made some difference that you lived at all.
Leo Rosten

Death is more universal than life; everyone dies but not everyone lives.
A Sachs

There is no value in life except what you choose to place upon it and no happiness in any place except what you bring to it yourself.
Henry David Thoreau

A successful life is one that is lived through understanding and pursuing one’s own path, not chasing after the dreams of others.
Chin Ning Chu

We should give meaning to life, not wait for life to give us meaning.
