foremost duty. If you are burdensome to anyone, for anything...then your life is
a complete waste.
-Deep Trivedi
Quotations
Life
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, Wow! What a Ride!
-Hunter S. Thompson
The evil ruler spoils the word, the plan of life, by his teachings. He, indeed, deprives me of the exalted goal of good thought. With the word of my spirit, I pray to You, O Wise One, and to truth!
-Scriptures "Avesta, Yasna 32.9"
Your daily life is your temple and your religion.
-Khalil Gibran
No one who does good deeds will ever come to a bad end, either here or in the world to come. When such people die, they go to other realms where the righteous live.
-Srimad Bhagavad Gita "Bhagwad Gita 6.40-41"
The chief danger in life is that you may take too many precautions.
-Alfred Adler
But how could you live and have no story to tell?
-Fyodor M. Dostoevsky
"White Nights"
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"
What difference does it make, whether you live in a big city or in a community of homes? The real life is within.
-Khalil Gibran
Achieving life is not the equivalent of avoiding death.
-Ayn Rand
