Quotations
Life

-Henry David Thoreau "Henry David Thoreau"
The art of living well and the art of dying well are one.

"The Fountain Overflows"
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.
-Anonymous "Anonymous"
When you do the common things in life in an uncommon way, you will command the attention of the world.
-George Washington Carver
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"
How can living life to the fullest with much passion, fun and happiness or moving
towards success, ever be irreligious? Irreligiousness itself begins with renouncing
the things out of fear.
-Deep Trivedi
It's not that I believe everything happens for a reason. It's just that . . . I just think that some things are meant to be broken, imperfect and chaotic. It's the universe's way of providing contrast, you know? There have to be a few holes in the road. It's how life is.
-Sarah Dessen
"The Truth About Forever"
You were given life; it is your duty (and also your entitlement as a human being) to find something beautiful within life, no matter how slight.
-Elizabeth Gilbert
