We have to live life with a sense of urgency so not a minute is wasted.
You may never reach that glorious moment until you die, so live life on the edge halfway between heaven and hell. . . and let's all dance in the middle in purgatory
As long as I hold it as long as I use it, the knife lives, lives in order to take life, but it has to be commanded, it has to have me to tell it to kill, and it wants to, it wants to plunge and thrust and cut and stab and gouge, but I have to want it to as well, my will has to join with its will. I'm the one who allows it and I'm the one responsible.
We are all born into families and cultures we didn't choose, given names we didn't pick, instructed in behaviour and values we might not have freely chosen, and too often we end up expected to live lives designed by others.
I'm intrigued and drawn to people who know exactly who they are, who know what they want, who live life on their own terms.
The capacity for hope is the most significant fact of life. It provides human beings with a sense of destination and the energy to get started.
I have to be careful not to be too proud in life, because there is always room for improvement.
If you ask me, it doesn't matter what life you're living, life never has a solution. No matter how hard the struggles are that you leave behind, new struggles always take their place.
In human intercourse the tragedy begins, not when there is misunderstanding about words, but when silence is not understood.
People sometimes sneer at those who run every day, claiming they'll go to any length to live longer. But don't think that's the reason most people run. Most runners run not because they want to live longer, but because they want to live life to the fullest.
Angels assist us in connecting with a powerful yet gentle force, which encourages us to live life to it's fullest.
Death is close enough at hand so we do not need to be afraid of life.
The city breathing, burning, living the life thy had preserved. Ten million lives and more. If something should happen to all that life- how terrible! Nita gulped for control as she remembered Fred's word of just this morning, an eternity ago. And this was what being a wizard was about. Keeping terrible things from happening, even when it hurts. Not just power, or control of what ordinary people couldn't control, or delight in being able to make strange things happen. Those were the side effects- not the reason, the purpose.
I begin to understand as never before that holiness is made of dailiness, of living life as it comes to me, not as I insist it be.
All growth starts at the end of your comfort zone.
When you're a kid and you see gangsters living the life, you kind of want to be like that.
Life is so precious, such a gift, you have to live for you. Live your own truth, live the life that God has put you and nobody else on this Earth to live and not what somebody might be telling you to live.
To stroll is a science, it is the gastronomy of the eye. To walk is to vegetate, to stroll is to live. . . . To stroll is to enjoy, it is to assume a mind-set, it is to admire the sublime pictures of unhappiness, of love, of joy, of graceful or grotesque portraits; it is to plunge one's vision to the depths of a thousand existences: young, it is to desire everything; old, it is to live the life of the young, to marry their passions.
All the great masters in the world have been saying only one thing down the centuries, "Have your own mind and have your own individuality. Don't be a part of the crowd; don't be a wheel in the whole mechanism of a vast society. Be individual, on your own. Live life with your own eyes; listen to music with your own ears. " But we are not doing anything with our own ears, with our own eyes, with our own minds; everything is being taught, and we are following it.
Living life is like running a marathon. It takes a lot of courage and tenacity to keep going till the end.
