Pierre Teilhard de ChardinMany that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.
J. R. R. TolkienThe important work of moving the world forward does not wait to be done by perfect men.
George EliotI would like to fly in space. Absolutely. That would be cool. I used to just do personally risky things, but now I’ve got kids and responsibilities, so I can’t be my own test pilot. That wouldn’t be a good idea. But I definitely want to fly as soon as it’s a sensible thing to do.
Elon MuskI just want to do God’s will. And he’s allowed me to go to the mountain. And I’ve looked over, and I’ve seen the promised land! I may not get there with you, but I want you to know tonight that we as a people will get to the promised land.

Conor McGregorFame and power are the objects of all men. Even their partial fruition is gained by very few; and that, too, at the expense of social pleasure, health, conscience, life.
Benjamin DisraeliIf we lose love and self respect for each other, this is how we finally die.
Maya AngelouHope travels through, nor quits us when we die.
Alexander PopeAs he was valiant, I honour him. But as he was ambitious, I slew him.

LeBron JamesIf a man loses his reverence for any part of life, he will lose his reverence for all of life.
Albert SchweitzerLife becomes harder for us when we live for others, but it also becomes richer and happier.

Haruki MurakamiI bear a charmed life.
William ShakespeareIsn’t it funny how babies laugh a lot? I read a toddler, a young child laughs 300 times a day. The average adult laughs, like, four times a day. God put it in them. He put the laugh in us, but I think sometimes we let life get us down, you know, have bad breaks, and we lose our breaks.
