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.
In life, as in chess, forethought wins.
-Charles Buxton
Live simply that others might simply live.
-Elizabeth Ann Seton
Life doesn't make any sense, and we all pretend it does. Comedy's job is to point out that it doesn't make sense, and that it doesn't make much difference anyway.
-Eric Idle
All that is important is this one moment in movement. Make the moment important, vital and worth living. Do not let it slip away unnoticed and unused.
-Martha Graham
The best thing to do with the best things in life is to give them up.
-Ambrose Bierce
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.
Life’s a tough proposition, and the first hundred years are the hardest.
-Wilson Mizner
For breath is life, and if you breathe well you will live long on earth.
You have to take risks. We will only understand the miracle of life fully when we allow the unexpected to happen.
-Paulo Coelho
