Life has no meaning the moment you lose the illusion of being eternal.
Jean-Paul SartreYou can choose a future where more Americans have the chance to gain the skills they need to compete no matter how old they are or how much money they have. Education was the gateway to opportunity for me. It was the gateway for Michelle. And now more than ever it is the gateway to a middle-class life.
Barack ObamaImagine all the people living life in peace. You may say I'm a dreamer but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us and the world will be as one.
John LennonAs is a tale so is life: not how long it is but how good it is is what matters.
Lucius Annaeus SenecaI spent my whole life in the private sector 25 years in the private sector. I understand that when government takes more money out of the hands of people it makes it more difficult for them to buy things. If they can't buy things the economy doesn't grow. If the economy doesn't grow we don't put Americans to work.
Mitt RomneyOne person who has mastered life is better than a thousand persons who have mastered only the contents of books but no one can get anything out of life without God.
Meister EckhartI am really sorry to see my countrymen trouble themselves about politics. If men were wise the most arbitrary princes could not hurt them. If they are not wise the freest government is compelled to be a tyranny. Princes appear to me to be fools. Houses of Commons and Houses of Lords appear to me to be fools, they seem to me to be something else besides human life.
William BlakeIt has been said that man is a rational animal. All my life I have been searching for evidence which could support this.
Bertrand RussellWe can be thankful to a friend for a few acres or a little money, and yet for the freedom and command of the whole earth and for the great benefits of our being, our life, health and reason, we look upon ourselves as under no obligation.
Lucius Annaeus SenecaLife is constantly providing us with new funds new resources even when we are reduced to immobility. In life's ledger there is no such thing as frozen assets.
Henry MillerOne can be absolutely truthful and sincere even though admittedly the most outrageous liar. Fiction and invention are of the very fabric of life.
Henry MillerI'm having fun because I don't take it (life) seriously - the only things I care about are my family friends work and my lady Sally. Philosophers for a long time have said 'why are we here?' - I'm here for the entertainment. If you're born in the world you're given a ticket to the freak show, if you're born in America you get a front row seat.
George CarlinI invented my life by taking for granted that everything I did not like would have an opposite which I would like.
Coco ChanelI have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has had to overcome while trying to succeed.
Booker T. WashingtonThe bottom line is when people are crystal clear about the most important priorities of the organization and team they work with and prioritized their work around those top priorities not only are they many times more productive they discover they have the time they need to have a whole life.
Stephen CoveyPeople say that what their seeking is a meaning for life.... I think that what we are seeking is an experience of being alive so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonance within our own innermost being and reality so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive.
Joseph CampbellThe average man does not know what to do with this life yet wants another one which will last forever.
Anatole FranceSleep that deplorable curtailment of the joy of life.
Virginia WoolfAll changes even the most longed for have their melancholy, for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves, we must die to one life before we can enter another.
Anatole FranceAlthough the circumstances of our lives may seem very disengaged with me standing here as the First Lady of the United States of America and you just getting through school I want you to know we have very much in common. For nothing in my life ever would have predicted that I would be standing here as the first African-American First Lady.
Michelle ObamaThe very problem of mind and body suggests division, I do not know of anything so disastrously affected by the habit of division as this particular theme. In its discussion are reflected the splitting off from each other of religion morals and science, the divorce of philosophy from science and of both from the arts of conduct. The evils which we suffer in education in religion in the materialism of business and the aloofness of "intellectuals" from life in the whole separation of knowledge and practice -- all testify to the necessity of seeing mind-body as an integral whole.
John Dewey
