Don’t go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
Any idiot can face a crisis – it’s day to day living that wears you out.
All the art of living lies in a fine mingling of letting go and holding on.
A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life.
A man sooner or later discovers that he is the master-gardener of his soul, the director of his life.
The second half of a man’s life is made up of nothing but the habits he has acquired during the first half.
That it is an unforgivable crime to only kind of try in life. It is as if you are trying just hard enough to fail each and every time.
To live is like to love — all reason is against it, and all healthy instinct for it.
People can be divided into three groups: those who make things happen, those who watch things happen, and those who wonder what happened.
A life lived in love will never be dull.
I think we too often make choices based on the safety of cynicism, and what we’re lead to is a life not fully lived. Cynicism is fear, and it’s worse than fear — it’s active disengagement.
Nature has made you for a giver: Your hands are born open, and so is your heart.
The secret of joy is contained in one word — excellence. To know how to do something well is to enjoy it.
The sweetest lives are those to duty wed, whose deeds both great and small are close-knit strands of an unbroken thread, where love enables all.
Life is so constructed, that the event does not, cannot, will not, match the expectation.
Why does life keep teaching me lessons I have no desire to learn?
I am not just here to make a living; I am here to make a life.
Life is an earnest business, and no one ever became good or great on a diet of broad grins.
If someone is wiser, if someone is happier by my having lived, my life will not have been in vain.
When we speak the word “life,” it must be understood we are not referring to life as we know it from its surface of fact, but to that fragile, fluctuating center which forms never reach.
