Quotations
Life
Some chapters in the Book of Life tell of tragedy, others of triumph. Some chapters are dull and others are exciting. The key to being a success in life is to never stop on a difficult page, to never quit a tough chapter. Champions have the courage to keep turning the pages because they know a better chapter lies ahead.

The refined form of "human" body, mind, culture and consciousness that we

of years. We cannot afford to waste such a precious life only on education,
marriage, children, chasing wealth and pangs of old age.
-Deep Trivedi
When I hear somebody sigh, “Life is hard”, I am always tempted to ask, compared to what?

Be like a tree. The tree gives shade even to him who cuts off its boughs.
-Sri Chaitanya "Sri Chaitanya"
You say: “He lost his life” or “my life”, as if life were something that you can possess or lose. The truth is: you don’t have a life, you are life. The One Life, the one consciousness that pervades the entire universe and takes temporary form to experience itself as a stone or blade of grass, as an animal, a person, a star or a galaxy.
-Eckhart Tolle "Eckhart Tolle"
How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live.
-Henry David Thoreau
It is impossible to live a pleasant life without living wisely and well and justly. And it is impossible to live wisely and well and justly without living a pleasant life.
-Epicurus
The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.

The whole life of man is self-expression… We suffer if we do not express ourselves.
