life

"It is wise to direct your anger towards problems -- not people; to focus your energies on answers -- not excuses."

"Never stop fighting until you arrive at your destined place - that is, the unique you. Have an aim in life, continuously acquire knowledge, work hard, and have perseverance to realise the great life."

"Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life."

"Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up."

"I believe that a trusting attitude and a patient attitude go hand in hand. You see, when you let go and learn to trust God, it releases joy in your life. And when you trust God, you're able to be more patient. Patience is not just about waiting for something... it's about how you wait, or your attitude while waiting."

"In life, all good things come hard, but wisdom is the hardest to come by."

"Life’s too short to drink crappy coffee and cry over boys who don’t care."

"It is easy to forget how full the world is of people, full to bursting, and each of them imaginable and consistently misimagined."

"I've crossed some kind of invisible line. I feel as if I've come to a place I never thought I'd have to come to. And I don't know how I got here. It's a strange place. It's a place where a little harmless dreaming and then some sleepy, early-morning talk has led me into considerations of death and annihilation."

"The art of living... is neither careless drifting on the one hand nor fearful clinging to the past on the other. It consists in being sensitive to each moment, in regarding it as utterly new and unique, in having the mind open and wholly receptive."

"You are -- your life, and nothing else."

"The half hour between waking and rising has all my life proved propitious to any task which was exercising my invention... It was always when I first opened my eyes that the desired ideas thronged upon me."

"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."

"Little white lies are part of everyday life. If you're in court being charged with a felony, you're probably going to be tempted to lie. Or if your girlfriend asks you if the sweater she is wearing makes her look fat; you're going to lie because you love that person. There are different reasons and justifications to lie; it's human nature."

"No persons are more frequently wrong, than those who will not admit they are wrong."

"Love is life. And if you miss love, you miss life."

"Each new day is a blank page in the diary of your life. The secret of success is in turning that diary into the best story you possibly can."
