If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain.
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.
~ Emily Dickinson
The great art of life is sensation, to feel that we exist, even in pain. ~ Lord Byron
An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. The consciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth and richness to life that nothing else can bring. ~ Oscar Wilde
The person who tries to live alone will not succeed as a human being. His heart withers if it does not answer another heart. His mind shrinks away if he hears only the echoes of his own thoughts and finds no other inspiration. ~ Pearl S. Buck
Life is to be lived, not controlled, and humanity is won by continuing to play in face of certain defeat. ~ Ralph Ellison
Life is a train of moods like a string of beads; and as we pass through them they prove to be many colored lenses, which paint the world their own hue, and each shows us only what lies in its own focus. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Life is the flower for which love is the honey. ~ Victor Hugo
I've decided to live every moment, truly, and not just in words but in actions. I want to give everything for once even though I fear losing it all for then I can say I gave 110%. I'll know then what it means to love completely. I want to risk it all for you.
