Life belongs to the living, and he who lives must be prepared for changes

There are two tragedies in life. One is to lose your heart's desire. The other is to gain it.

Science is the outcome of being prepared to live without certainty and therefore a mark of maturity. It embraces doubt and loose ends.

Speed and efficiency do not always increase the quality of life.

Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.

Life should be great rather than long.

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Even when you think you have your life all mapped out, things happen that shape your destiny in ways you might never have imagined.

Short as life is, we make it still shorter by the careless waste of time.

Life is pure adventure, and the sooner we realize that, the quicker we will be able to treat life as art.

If you've been playing poker for half an hour and you still don't know who the patsy is, you're the patsy.

Being ignorant is not so much a shame, as being unwilling to learn.

Don't cry for a man who's left you - the next one may fall for your smile.

Pain don't hurt.

Always say 'yes' to the present moment... Surrender to what is. Say 'yes' to life - and see how life starts suddenly to start working for you rather than against you.

Our life is frittered away by detail. Simplify, simplify.

Life will not break your heart. It'll crush it.

What goes up must come down.

I don't need you to remind me of my age. I have a bladder to do that for me.

You are not stuck where you are unless you decide to be.

He who kisses joy as it flies by will live in eternity's sunrise.
