Life


Live neither in the past nor in the future, but let each day’s work absorb your entire energies, and satisfy your widest ambition. - William Osler 

The wisdom of life consists in the elimination of nonessentials. - Lin Yutang 

Be not afraid of life. Believe that life IS worth living and your belief will help create the fact. - James Truslow Adams

One life; a little gleam of Time between two Eternities; no second chance to us forever! - Thomas Carlyle

Living is a constant process of deciding what we are going to do. - Jose Ortega Gasset 

I think of life as a good book. The further you get into it, the more it begins to make sense. - Harold S. Kushner

To the question of your life you are the answer, and to the problems of your life you are the solution. - Joe Cordare

There is no meaning to life except the meaning man gives to his life by the unfolding of his powers. - Erich Fromm

The trouble with life in the fast lane is that you get to the other end in an awful hurry. - John Jensen

If logic tells you that life is a meaningless accident, do not give up on life. Give up on logic. - Shira Milgrom 

The true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit. - Nelson Henderson 

It is not your blue blood, your pedigree or your college degree. It is what you do with your life that counts. - Millard Fuller

All things in life are temporary. If going well, enjoy it, they will not last forever. If going wrong, don't worry, they can't last long either. Unknown

Hi Vincent,
I didn't quite agree with the quote from Shira Milgrom so looked her up on the IN. She's a very inspiring lady. Thanks for introducing her to me.

Hi Belinda,

I wondered about that quote too, but conceded that although our lives might be an accident, it need not be meaningless. :-)

Glad to hear that you got to know an inspiring lady. :-)

Cheers,
Vincent
