Quotations
Life
The chief danger in life is that you may take too many precautions.
-Alfred Adler

can get it automatically. But in the race to grab the things which are futile and
painful, we miss attaining them only.
-Deep Trivedi
Life is such a business, where for every gain you have to lose something.
'Losing less - Gaining more' is what defines success in business here.
'Big loss - Small gain' is a loss making deal in life... At the same time, depriving
yourself of the gain, out of fear of loss is utter stupidity.
-Deep Trivedi
I have found that if you love life, life will love you back.

Don't you think it's better to be extremely happy for a short while, even if you lose it, than to be just okay for your whole life?
-Audrey Niffenegger
"The Time Traveler's Wife"
You live but once; you might as well be amusing.

Is life not a thousand times too short for us to bore ourselves?
-Friedrich Nietzsche
