When you have nobody you can make a cup of tea for when nobody needs you that's when I think life is over.
Audrey HepburnBefore complaining that you are a slave to another be sure that you are not a slave to self. Look within,...You will find there perchance slavish thoughts slavish desires and in your daily life and conduct slavish habits. Conquer these, cease to be a slave to self and no man will have the power to enslave you.
James AllenHabits in writing as in life are only useful if they are broken as soon as they cease to be advantageous.
W. Somerset MaughamWhat has influenced my life more than any other single thing has been my stammer. Had I not stammered I would probably... have gone to Cambridge as my brothers did perhaps have become a don and every now and then published a dreary book about French literature.
W. Somerset MaughamThis Sunday School has been of help to me greater perhaps than any other force in my Christian life and I can ask no better things for you than that you and all that shall come after you in this great band of workers for Christ shall receive the same measure of blessedness which I have been permitted to have.
John D. RockefellerI am my own sanctuary and I can be reborn as many times as I choose throughout my life.
Lady GagaIf you knew that your life was merely a phase or short short segment of your entire existence how would you live? Knowing nothing 'real' was at risk what would you do? You'd live a gigantic bold fun dazzling life. You know you would. That's what the ghosts want us to do - all the exciting things they no longer can.
Chuck PalahniukAt 35 I'm definitely starting to feel more like a grown-up than I ever have. There's nothing in my life that is childish or whimsical. Having fun is fantastic and I never want to lose a sense of that - and also I think you have to have that to put into your work or else it's going to feel stiff.
Drew BarrymoreI know not sir whether Bacon wrote the works of Shakespeare but if he did not it seems to me that he missed the opportunity of his life.
James Matthew BarrieNo one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new.
Steve JobsLife is divided into the horrible and the miserable.
Woody AllenLife could be wonderful if people would leave you alone.
Charlie ChaplinPassions are the gales of life.
Alexander PopeBottom line is I didn't return to Apple to make a fortune. I've been very lucky in my life and already have one. When I was 25 my net worth was $100 million or so. I decided then that I wasn't going to let it ruin my life. There's no way you could ever spend it all and I don't view wealth as something that validates my intelligence.
Steve JobsI don't think I've ever worked so hard on something but working on Macintosh was the neatest experience of my life. Almost everyone who worked on it will say that. None of us wanted to release it at the end. It was as though we knew that once it was out of our hands it wouldn't be ours anymore.
Steve JobsLife has been bestowed not for just eating and digesting and roaming and reclining but for a far greater purpose - the realization of Divinity in us in all that exists around us and even beyond all things that strike our senses. To waste such a life in vain pursuits and in mere senses of pleasures is not the sign of an intelligent person.
Sai BabaIn the last analysis the individual person is responsible for living his own life and for "finding himself." If he persists in shifting his responsibility to somebody else he fails to find out the meaning of his own existence.
Thomas MertonMusic is essentially useless as is life.
George SantayanaThe want of logic annoys. Too much logic bores. Life eludes logic and everything that logic alone constructs remains artificial and forced.
Andre GideThere is no waste of time in life like that of making explanations.
Benjamin DisraeliNever build your emotional life on the weaknesses of others.
George SantayanaIt is by going down into the abyss that we recover the treasures of life. Where you stumble there lies your treasure.
Joseph CampbellI don't think I could live without hair makeup and styling let alone be the performer I am. I am a glamour girl through and through. I believe in the glamorous life and I live one.
Lady GagaThere is no private life which has not been determined by a wider public life.
George EliotHuman values should predominate in men Sai Baba
Nietzsche says that we will live the same life over and over again. God - I'll have to sit through the Ice Capades again.
Woody AllenGrief is the agony of an instant. The indulgence of grief the blunder of a life.
Benjamin DisraeliSince all life is futility then the decision to exist must be the most irrational of all.
Emile M. CioranI've made mistakes in my life for sure.
Kim KardashianWithout human values life is meaningless.
Sai BabaArt is the tree of life. Science is the tree of death. God is Jesus.
William BlakeOn life's vast ocean diversely we sail. Reasons the card but passion the gale.
Alexander PopeYou hear a lot about God these days: God the beneficent, God the all-great, God the Almighty, God the most powerful, God the giver of life, God the creator of death. I mean we're hearing about God all the time so we better learn how to deal with it. But if we know anything about God God is arbitrary.
Bob DylanAll of life is peaks and valleys. Don't let the peaks get too high and the valleys too low.
John WoodenGod is Within You! You yourself are the creator. If you find that place within you from which you brought this thing about you will be able to live with it and affirm it perhaps even enjoy it as your life.
Joseph CampbellA life is either all spiritual or not spiritual at all. No man can serve two masters. Your life is shaped by the end you live for. You are made in the image of what you desire.
Thomas Merton
