Tears

Perhaps our eyes need to be washed by our tears once in a while, so that we can see life with a clearer view again.

The reading of good books could soothe human stupidity, the problem is that human stupidity does not like to read.

[Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.] Albert Einstein

The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.

The most important of life’s battles is the one we fight daily in the silent chambers of the soul.

A man sooner or later discovers that he is the master-gardener of his soul, the director of his life.

Things change. And friends leave. Life doesn’t stop for anybody.

Don’t part with your illusions. When they are gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to live. 

In essence, if we want to direct our lives, we must take control of our consistent actions. It’s not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives, but what we do consistently.

Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage.

The future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of sixty minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is.

You realize that our mistrust of the future makes it hard to give up the past.

Don’t be afraid of death; be afraid of an unlived life. You don’t have to live forever, you just have to live.

Every man dies. Not every man really lives.

Everything has been figured out, except how to live. 

Get busy living or get busy dying. 

I challenge you to make your life a masterpiece. I challenge you to join the ranks of those people who live what they teach, who walk their talk.

It’s your life, your one and only life, so take excellence very personally.

Life was meant to be lived, and curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.

People living deeply have no fear of death.

Live simply so others may simply live.
