Life is like an onion: You peel it off one layer at a time, and sometimes you weep.

I think somehow we learn who we really are and then live with that decision.

What do we live for, if it is not to make life less difficult for each other?

Be glad of life because it gives you the chance to love, to work, to play, and to look up at the stars.

Is it so small a thing
To have enjoy'd the sun,
To have lived light in the spring,
To have loved, to have thought, to have done...

Happiness is not so much in having as sharing. We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.

“You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you’ll discover will be wonderful. What you’ll discover is yourself.” ~ Alan Alda

“Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch that I have got hold of for the moment and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.” ~ George Bernard Shaw (Read more here)

“Missing someone gets easier everyday. Because, even though it is one day further from the last time you saw each other, it is one day closer to the next time you will”

Some days you're the bug. Some days you're the windshield.

Keith Ellis, Bootstraps
Like the elephant, we are unconscious of our own strength. When it comes to understanding the power we have to make a difference in our own lives, we might as well be asleep. If you want to make your dreams come true, wake up. Wake up to your own strength. Wake up to the role you play in your own destiny. Wake up to the power you have to choose what you think, do, and say.

Your life lies before you like a path of driven snow, be careful how you tread it cause every step will show.
Lowri Williams

Pericles
What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others.

Crowfoot
What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset.

Samuel Butler
All animals except man know that the ultimate point of life is to enjoy it.

Life is like a river. With all its bends and rapid falls, one must follow the right path or else you'll lost your way to the sea.

Life is like a bagel. It's delicious when it's fresh and warm, but often it's just hard. The hole is the middle is its great mystery, and yet it wouldn't be a bagel without it.

Life is like eating grapefruit. First you have to break through the skin; then it takes a couple of bites to get used to the taste, and just as you begin to enjoy it, it squirts you in the eye.

Life is like a jigsaw puzzle, but you don't have the picture on the front of the box to know what it's supposed to look like. Sometimes, you're not even sure if you've got all the pieces.

Life is like a room full of open doors that close as you get older.

Life is like a novel. You are the author and everyday is a new page.

Life is like photography. We develop from negatives.

Life is like a pencil. You can be sharpened, you can correct mistakes, and you can leave a mark.

Success seems to be largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go.
William Feather

Desire is the starting point of all achievement, not a hope, not a wish, but a keen pulsating desire which transcends everything.
Napoleon Hill

“People don’t want their lives fixed. Nobody wants their problems solved. Their dramas. Their distractions. Their stories resolved. Their messes cleaned up. Because what would they have left? Just the big scary unknown.”

“What we call chaos is just patterns we haven't recognized. What we call random is just patterns we cant decipher. What we can't understand we call nonsense. What we can't read we call gibberish. There is no free will. There are no variables. There is only the inevitable.”
