Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, half shut afterwards.
Benjamin FranklinHe only earns his freedom and his life Who takes them every day by storm.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheThe art is long, life is short.
HippocratesTo go beyond is as wrong as to fall short.
ConfuciusRemembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything – all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.
Steve JobsI want to be just a pure spiritual leader.
Dalai LamaI’m not this horrible, evil person.
Abby Lee MillerI feel real good because it’s about representing the young world and how to uplift each other and how to push us to be greater and make sure we don’t fall or get trapped or get in trouble, you know what I mean. Stay focused, you know what I mean.
DJ KhaledIf you dream the proper dreams, and share the myths with people, they will want to grow up to be like you.
Ray BradburyKnowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people.
Carl JungMy days, my years, my life has seen up and downs, lights and darknesses. If I wrote only and continually of the ‚light‘ and never mentioned the other, then as an artist, I would be a liar.
Charles BukowskiAlthough I’m only fourteen, I know quite well what I want. I know who is right and who is wrong. I have my opinions, my own ideas and principles, and although it may sound pretty mad from an adolescent, I feel more of a person than a child. I feel quite independent of anyone.
Anne FrankOne always dies too soon or too late. And yet, life is there, finished: the line is drawn, and it must all be added up. You are nothing other than your life.

George BestLearn to say ‚no‘ to the good so you can say ‚yes‘ to the best.

Lando NorrisThere is only one thing in life worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about.
Oscar WildeYour entire life only happens in this moment. The present moment is life itself. Yet, people live as if the opposite were true and treat the present moment as a stepping stone to the next moment – a means to an end.
Eckhart TolleI don’t want to be too critical of what other people do, but when people go back to do the same thing that they did, I’m completely confused. I’m like, ‚Didn’t you make that movie already?‘ I’ve been very fortunate, and I’m well taken care of, so the least I can do is try to go forward.
Jerry SeinfeldWe cannot learn men from books.
Benjamin DisraeliWe all have two lives: an inner life and an outer life. Your inner life is your soul life, which includes your mind, will and emotions. Your outer life is your physical life. And while God cares about every detail of your life, He is more concerned with your inner life than your outer life.
Joyce MeyerI want to solidify as an artist and show that as I grow as a person and make mistakes and learn from them, I’m going to grow artistically.

Erma BombeckIt is a great piece of folly to attempt to make anything out of my early life.
Abraham LincolnMost women in my family start to get sick and start dying in their 40s, and I am going to be very happy to become 50 and 60. I love getting older.

John SteinbeckInstead of blaming everyone and everything else for your problems, pray for God to help you take an inventory of what’s been on your mind so you can think about what you’ve been thinking about.
Joyce MeyerNobody expects to trust his body overmuch after the age of fifty.
Alexander HamiltonEverybody is going to have their critics. It’s easy to get discouraged in life.
Joel OsteenThis has always been my life and no one else’s, and that’s how it’s always been since the day I came in it.
Frank OceanThere are two ways of being happy: We must either diminish our wants or augment our means – either may do – the result is the same and it is for each man to decide for himself and to do that which happens to be easier.
Benjamin FranklinDon’t grow accustomed to living with less, doing less, and being less to the point that you eventually sit back and accept it.
Joel OsteenSexuality is one of the ways that we become enlightened, actually, because it leads us to self-knowledge.
Alice WalkerIf you wish to succeed in life, make perseverance your bosom friend, experience your wise counselor, caution your elder brother, and hope your guardian genius.
Joseph AddisonForty is the old age of youth, fifty is the youth of old age.
Hosea BallouOne of my big goals as a human being is to continue to write what’s really happening to me, even if it’s a tough pill to swallow for people around me… I do fear that if I ever were to have someone in my life who mattered, I would second-guess every one of my lyrics.
Taylor SwiftGet busy living, or get busy dying.
Stephen KingFill your bowl to the brim and it will spill. Keep sharpening your knife and it will blunt.
Lao TzuPut a love note in his shaving kit before he leaves on a business trip.
H. Jackson Brown, Jr.God enters by a private door into every individual.
Ralph Waldo EmersonIf my world were to cave in tomorrow, I would look back on all the pleasures, excitements and worthwhilenesses I have been lucky enough to have had. Not the sadness, not my miscarriages or my father leaving home, but the joy of everything else. It will have been enough.
Audrey HepburnWe have to confront ourselves. Do we like what we see in the mirror? And, according to our light, according to our understanding, according to our courage, we will have to say yea or nay – and rise!
Maya AngelouWhen something an affliction happens to you, you either let it defeat you, or you defeat it.
Jean-Jacques RousseauIf there is a transmigration of souls then I am not yet on the bottom rung. My life is a hesitation before birth.
Franz KafkaFear clogs; faith liberates.
Elbert HubbardI just really believe people have to get hungry. I think maybe what we need to do, instead of trying to stuff our beliefs down people’s throats, is just pray for them to really be hungry and to see their neediness.
Joyce MeyerMany people know so little about what is beyond their short range of experience. They look within themselves – and find nothing! Therefore they conclude that there is nothing outside themselves either.
Helen KellerAs I get older, I tend to put more into family than I used to.
Clint EastwoodIt put our energies to sleep and made visionaries of us – dreamers and indolent… It is good to begin life poor; it is good to begin life rich – these are wholesome; but to begin it prospectively rich! The man who has not experienced it cannot imagine the curse of it.
Mark TwainWe are not living in a world where all roads are radii of a circle and where all, if followed long enough, will therefore draw gradually nearer and finally meet at the centre: rather in a world where every road, after a few miles, forks into two, and each of those into two again, and at each fork, you must make a decision.
C. S. LewisYour Highest Self is not just an idea that sounds lofty and spiritual. It is a way of being. It is the very first principle that you must come to understand and embrace as you move toward attracting to you that which you want and need for this parenthesis in eternity that you know as your life.
Wayne DyerLife consists in what a man is thinking of all day.
Ralph Waldo EmersonThe wise man does not expose himself needlessly to danger, since there are few things for which he cares sufficiently; but he is willing, in great crises, to give even his life – knowing that under certain conditions it is not worthwhile to live.
AristotleI think I’m like most people – we fear the unknown and the things that have yet to come to pass, which are the very things that don’t deserve to be feared. When you give God complete control, it’s very hard not to be fearless.
RihannaNo memory of having starred atones for later disregard, or keeps the end from being hard.
Robert FrostI believe that anyone can conquer fear by doing the things he fears to do, provided he keeps doing them until he gets a record of successful experience behind him.
Eleanor RooseveltI continuously go further and further learning about my own limitations, my body limitation, psychological limitations. It’s a way of life for me.
Ayrton SennaThe thing to do, it seems to me, is to prepare yourself so you can be a rainbow in somebody else’s cloud. Somebody who may not look like you. May not call God the same name you call God – if they call God at all. I may not dance your dances or speak your language. But be a blessing to somebody. That’s what I think.
Maya AngelouTraveling around the world and preaching for over 70 years did not give much time for reflection.
Billy Graham
