Quotations
Life
There are two things to aim at in life: first to get what you want; and after that to enjoy it. Only the wisest of mankind achieve the second.
-Logan P. Smith
Life imitates art far more than art imitates Life.
-Oscar Wilde
Life in other words is to "work" hard for the upliftment of yourself as well as
others and as and when opportunity knocks...thoroughly enjoy yourself. There
cannot be any other purpose of life.
-Deep Trivedi
Don't be afraid of death; be afraid of an unlived life.
-Natalie Babbitt
"Tuck Everlasting"
Those who see all creatures within themselves, and themselves in all creatures know no fear. Those who see all creatures in themselves, and themselves in all creatures know no grief. How can the multiplicity of life, delude the one who sees its unity?
-Isha Upanishad "Isha Upanishad 6-7"
Believing life to be of 60 years, we live our entire life considering it to be "One"
unit. This is the reason, why memories of the past and fear of the future keep
haunting us. Whereas in reality, life is the culmination of billions of moments put
together. Hence, each moment - a new moment. And when each moment is a
new moment... then which past and whose future?
-Deep Trivedi
The whole life of man is self-expression… We suffer if we do not express ourselves.
-Anonymous "Perfect Liberty Kyodan"
Life’s a tough proposition, and the first hundred years are the hardest.
-Wilson Mizner
Most of the luxuries and many of the so-called comforts of life, are not only not indispensable, but positive hindrances to the elevation of mankind.
-Henry David Thoreau "Henry David Thoreau"
