Living

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
- Mark Twain

One's life story cannot be told with complete veracity. A true autobiography would have to be written in states of mind, emotions, heartbeats, smiles and tears; not in months and years, or physical events. Life is marked off on the soul by feelings, not by dates.
- Helen Keller

Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.
- Soren Kierkegaard.

The most important of life's battles is the one we fight daily in the silent chambers of the soul.
- David O. McKay

Having a purpose in life is determined by what you make of life and what you make of yourself.
- Unknown

In life there will be times when you keep falling; don't spend your time trying to climb back up to the top. Chances are you won't get too far before you fall again. Make the best out of it and build a castle right were you are.
- Samantha Hollis

There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.
- Albert Einstein

Life is difficult. This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transend it. Once we truly know that life is difficult - once we truly understand and accept it - then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters.
- M Scott Peck

Life isn't supposed to be an all or nothing battle between misery and bliss. Life isn't supposed to be a battle at all. And when it comes to happiness, well, sometimes life is just okay, sometimes it's comfortable, sometimes wonderful, sometimes boring, sometimes unpleasant. When your day's not perfect, it's not a failure or a terrible loss. It's just another day.
-Barbara Sher

Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome.
- Booker T. Washington

Our attitude toward life determines life's attitude towards us.
- Earl Nightingale

Our subconscious minds have no sense of humor, play no jokes and cannot tell the difference between reality and an imagined thought or image. What we continually think about eventually will manifest in our lives.
- Sidney Madwed

Outstanding people have one thing in common: an absolute sense of mission.
- Zig Ziglar

Picture in your mind a sense of personal destiny.
- Wayne Oates
