Fyodor Dostoevsky quote: "Love life more than the meaning of it?"
Love life more than the meaning of it? Fyodor Dostoevsky
But if anything in thy own disposition gives thee pain, who hinders thee from correcting thy opinion? And even if thou art pained because thou art not doing some particular thing which seems to thee to be right, why dost thou not rather act than complain?- But some insuperable obstacle is in the way?- Do not be grieved then, for the cause of its not being done depends not on thee.- But it is not worth while to live if this cannot be done.- Take thy departure then from life contentedly, just... Marcus Aurelius
I love this world," he added. "That is what rules my life. When I die, I want to have done all in my power to leave it in a better state than it was when I found it. At the same time I know that this can never be. The world has grown so complex that one voice can do little to alter it any longer. That doesn't stop me from doing what I can, but it makes the task hard. The successes are so small, the failures so large and many. It's like trying to stem a storm with one's bare hands. Charles de Lint
It is the struggle itself that is most important. We must strive to be more than we are. It does not matter that we will not reach our ultimate goal. The effort itself yields its own reward. Gene Roddenberry
When it comes down to it, I let them think what they want. If they care enough to bother with what I do, then I'm already better than them. Marilyn Monroe
The quality of mercy is not strain'd, It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven. Upon the place beneath: it is twice blest; It blesseth him that gives and him that takes:'Tis mightiest in the mightiest: it becomes. The throned monarch better than his crown; His sceptre shows the force of temporal power, The attribute to awe and majesty, Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings; But mercy is above this sceptred sway; It is enthroned in the hearts of kings, It is an attribute to God... William Shakespeare
Danger knows full well that Caesar is more dangerous than he. We are two lions litter’d in one day, and I the elder and more terrible. William Shakespeare
Name me a leader who has a better idea for homeland security than making us take off our shoes in airports and throw away our shampoo? Lee Iacocca
Henry James quote: "Things are always different than what they might be...If you..."
Things are always different than what they might be...If you wait for them to change, you will never do anything. Henry James
You are life, inventing form. No more can you die on sword or years than you can die on doorways through which you walk, one room into another. Every room gives its word for you to speak, every passage its song for you to sing. Richard Bach
Eudora Welty quote: "All experience is an enrichment rather than an impoverishment."
All experience is an enrichment rather than an impoverishment. Eudora Welty
Dale Carnegie quote: "The expression one wears on one's face is far more important..."
The expression one wears on one's face is far more important than the clothes one wears on one's back. Dale Carnegie
Jenny Holzer quote: "Being happy is more important than anything else."
Being happy is more important than anything else. Jenny Holzer
I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong. I have approximate answers and possible beliefs and different degrees of uncertainty about different things, but I am not absolutely sure of anything and there are many things I don't know anything about, such as whether it means anything to ask why we're here. I don't have to know an answer. I don't feel frightened not knowing things, by being lost in a mysterious universe without any purpose,... Richard P. Feynman
If we are all alive ten years hence, let's meet, and see how many of us have got our wishes, or how much nearer we are then than now. Louisa May Alcott
