-Oscar Wilde
Quotations
Life
Rise to the occasion which is life!
-Virginia Euwer Wolff
We are always getting ready to live but never living.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
When we see everything in life as a game, we will be equally joyous when falling as we are when rising. If we can fully understand this – if we can see life as swinging on a swing – we will never fall apart when failure comes our way.
-A Spiritual Leader "Mata Amritanandamayi"
Life is a journey towards the unknown. An empty mind is useful in that journey rather than a mind filled with past.
-J. Krishnamurti
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"
Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon.
-Woody Allen
The horse who wins the race, but does not know the difference between dry and
green grass, for how long can he sustain himself in the race? Same is the case
with people who attain higher degrees or are scholars, but still do not understand
the realities of life.
-Deep Trivedi
We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.
-Plato
Life is full of chances and changes, and the most prosperous of men may… meet with great misfortunes.
-Aristotle
