Just living is not enough. One must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower.


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.

The purpose of life is a life of purpose.

The miracle is not to fly in the air, or to walk on the water, but to walk on the earth.

I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.

Life is simple, it's just not easy.

A life without cause is a life without effect.

Here is the test to find whether your mission on earth is finished. If you're alive, it isn't.

Life's not always fair. Sometimes you can get a splinter even sliding down a rainbow.

The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. 

I hope life isn't a big joke, because I don't get it.

Life is a foreign language: all men mispronounce it.


Forgive, O Lord, my little jokes on Thee, And I'll forgive Thy great big one on me.


In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular.

To live is so startling it leaves little time for anything else.

Yes, I will try to be. Because I believe that not being is arrogant.

Life is the hyphen between matter and spirit. ~

My life has a superb cast but I can't figure out the plot.

I say, if your knees aren't green by the end of the day, you ought to seriously re-examine your life

You fall out of your mother's womb, you crawl across open country under fire, and drop into your grave.

As we struggle to make sense of things, life looks on in repose.

I think I've discovered the secret of life - you just hang around until you get used to it.

Maybe all one can do is hope to end up with the right regrets.

Life is like a blanket too short. You pull it up and your toes rebel, you yank it down and shivers meander about your shoulder; but cheerful folks manage to draw their knees up and pass a very comfortable night.

Life is a whim of several billion cells to be you for a while.

You can't escape history, or the needs and neuroses you've picked up like layers and layers of tartar on your teeth.

Life is a great big canvas, and you should throw all the paint on it you can.

I have a simple philosophy: Fill what's empty. Empty what's full. Scratch where it itches.

Life is like a coin. You can spend it any way you wish, but you only spend it once.


We are born wet, naked, and hungry. Then things get worse or better depends what kind of person you'll be

Life is like a beautiful melody, only the lyrics are messed up.

Life is a cement trampoline.

To preserve a man alive in the midst of so many chances and hostilities, is as great a miracle as to create him.

Life... is like a box of chocolates - a cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that no one ever asks for, unreturnable because all you get back is another box of chocolates. So, you're stuck with mostly undefinable whipped mint crap, mindlessly wolfed down when there's nothing else to eat while you're watching the game. Sure, once is a while you get a peanut butter cup or an English toffee but it's gone too fast and the taste is fleeting. In the end, you are left with nothing but broken bits filled with hardened jelly and teeth-shattering nuts, which, if you are desperate enough to eat, leaves nothing but an empty box of useless brown paper.

He who has a why to live can bear almost any how.

God pours life into death and death into life without a drop being spilled.

Life is what we make it, always has been, always will be.

I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that it's not the answer.

The great business of life is to be, to do, to do without, and to depart. ~John, Viscount Morley, Address on Aphorisms

Who will tell whether one happy moment of love or the joy of breathing or walking on a bright morning and smelling the fresh air, is not worth all the suffering and effort which life implies.

My formula for living is quite simple. I get up in the morning and I go to bed at night. In between, I occupy myself as best I can.

To live remains an art which everyone must learn, and which no one can teach.

Living involves tearing up one rough draft after another.

My grandfather always said that living is like licking honey off a thorn.

No man lives without jostling and being jostled; in all ways he has to elbow himself through the world, giving and receiving offence.

Don't think of retiring from the world until the world will be sorry that you retire. I hate a fellow whom pride or cowardice or laziness drive into a corner, and who does nothing when he is there but sit and growl. Let him come out as I do, and bark.

"As I sat here I was trying to think of all the times you hurt me and made me cry. . . Hoping and wishing it would make me like you less. But it didn't. Because all the times I could remember were the ones when you showed me that you cared. . . I didn't want to believe that you ever did You walk by me everyday and say hello. Everyday you take time out to listen to me. You talk to me, smile at me, laugh with me, and have fun with me. Well, I talk, smile and laugh too, but inside I'm hurting. Deep down it hurts to be with you because I love you and you are only a friend."


" There are times when I cant decide whether to see you or not, I want to see you because I miss you but there are times when I dont want to see you because everytime I do, the fact that you dont see me the way that I see you hurts me even more ... "

"You are always there for me and so you give me the courage to stand alone."



"The hardest part of dreaming about someone you love is having to wake up."



"There is one pain I often feel which you will never know because it is caused by the absence of you."
