Life is the car your heart is the key and God is the chauffeur.

Life is divided into three terms - that which was which is and which will be. Let us learn from the past to profit by the present and from the present to live better in the future.

Governments will always play a huge part in solving big problems. They set public policy and are uniquely able to provide the resources to make sure solutions reach everyone who needs them. They also fund basic research which is a crucial component of the innovation that improves life for everyone.

To have courage for whatever comes in life - everything lies in that.

My family frankly they weren't folks who went to church every week. My mother was one of the most spiritual people I knew but she didn't raise me in the church so I came to my Christian faith later in life and it was because the precepts of Jesus Christ spoke to me in terms of the kind of life that I would want to lead.

Barack Obama

Life is like a ten speed bicycle. Most of us have gears we never use.

I don't believe in the afterlife so I do think when somebody passes it's worthy of note.

I don't believe one grows older. I think that what happens early on in life is that at a certain age one stands still and stagnates.

People tend to think that life really does progress for everyone eventually that people progress but actually only some people progress. The rest of the people don't.

My whole life I've wanted to feel comfortable in my skin. It's the most liberating thing in the world.

I don't believe people are looking for the meaning of life as much as they are looking for the experience of being alive.

Celebrity life and media culture are probably the most overbearing pop-cultural conditions that we as young people have to deal with because it forces us to judge ourselves.

What is needed today is that we should lead a life of good quality. The fostering of sterling character and good conduct is the need of the world. Once we have greater numbers of such people of good quality the country and the world will become prosperous and peaceful.

Sai Baba

The challenge of work-life balance is without question one of the most significant struggles faced by modern man.

Stephen Covey

If a man loses his reverence for any part of life he will lose his reverence for all of life.

Isn't life a series of images that change as they repeat themselves?

Andy Warhol

Life is not merely being alive but being well

We generate our own environment. We get exactly what we deserve. How can we resent a life we've created ourselves? Who's to blame who's to credit but us? Who can change it anytime we wish but us?

Richard Bach

WHEN you stand before another his image is in your eye and your image is in his, have you not observed this? You are in Him I am in you that is the Truth this phenomenon proclaims. When you believe in this and when you cultivate Love Humility Reverence for Life and Tolerance you are on the Right Path. When you are not on this Path that is to say when you are traveling left you are certainly left out when it is a question of sharing Divine Grace.

Sai Baba

This soul or life within us by no means agrees with the life outside us. If one has the courage to ask her what she thinks she is always saying the very opposite to what other people say.

It's life isn't it? You plow ahead and make a hit. And you plow on and someone passes you. Then someone passes them. Time levels.

Where is the Life we have lost in living? Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge? Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?

I felt that I had worked hard my entire life and deserved to enjoy all the temptations around me. I felt I was entitled and thanks to money and fame I didn't have to go far to find them.

Tiger Woods

I'm so in control of my life you shouldn't dislike anything I do-because I'm not only in the best place I've ever been but it keeps getting better and better.

I don't believe in the after life although I am bringing a change of underwear.

Woody Allen

Life is a lively process of becoming.

Just as in earthly life lovers long for the moment when they are able to breathe forth their love for each other, to let their souls blend in a soft whisper, so the mystic longs for the moment when in prayer he can, as it were, creep into God.
