"Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens."
John Homer Miller
"Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards."
Søren Kirkegaard
"Life is not a laughing matter - but can you imagine having to live without laughing?"
Leonard Sukhoru Kou
"Nothing is worth more than this day."
Goethe
"Into this mysterious universe we are born, with no apparent set of instructions, no maps or equations, no signs or guideposts, nothing but our equally unfathomable instincts, intuitions, and reasoning abilities to tell us where we came from, why we are here, and what we are supposed to do. What we do possess - perhaps it is the key to our survival as a species - is an almost unquenchable need to know."
Philip S. Berg
"A life of reaction is a life of slavery, intellectually and spiritually. One must fight for a life of action, not reaction."
Rita Mae Brown
"Fools look to tomorrow; wise men use tonight."
Scottish Proverb
"Life is worth being lived, but not worth being discussed all the time."
Isabelle Adfani
"Anything in life that we don't accept will simply make trouble for us until we make peace with it."
Shakti Gawain
"One ought, everyday at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture, and if it were possible, to speak a few reasonable words."
Johnann Wolfgang Von Goethe
"We are challenged on every hand to work untiring to achieve excellence in our lifework. Not all men are called to specialized or professional jobs; even fewer rise to the heights of genius in the arts and sciences; many are called to be laborers in factories, fields, and streets. But no work is insignificant. All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence. If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the host of heaven and earth will pause to say, "Here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well."
Martin Luther King Jr.
