Quotations
Life
This new life is endless, and even after my physical death it will be kept alive by those who live the life of complete renunciation of falsehood, lies, hatred, anger, greed and lust and who, to accomplish all this, do no lustful actions, do no harm to anyone.
-A Spiritual Leader "Meher Baba"
There are two tragedies in life. One is to lose your heart's desire. The other is to gain it.

Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.
-John Lennon
It's not that I believe everything happens for a reason. It's just that . . . I just think that some things are meant to be broken, imperfect and chaotic. It's the universe's way of providing contrast, you know? There have to be a few holes in the road. It's how life is.
-Sarah Dessen
"The Truth About Forever"
I don’t live in either my past or my future. I’m interested only in the present. If you can concentrate always on the present, you’ll be a happy man. Life will be a party for you, a grand festival, because life is the moment we’re living now.
-Paulo Coelho
"The Alchemist"
Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Don’t wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future.

You’re going to come across people in your life who will say all the right words at all the right times. But in the end, it’s always their actions you should judge them by.
-Nicholas Sparks "Nicholas Sparks"
Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.
