Strength and growth come only through continuous effort and struggle.

Sometimes it’s a form of love just to talk to somebody that you have nothing in common with and still be fascinated by their presence.

That’s another hallmark of truth, is that it snaps things together. People write to me all the time and say it’s as if things were coming together in my mind. It’s like the Platonic idea that all learning was remembering. You have a nature, and when you feel that nature articulated, it’s it’s like the act of snapping the puzzle pieces together.

If you have the opportunity to play this game of life you need to appreciate every moment. A lot of people don’t appreciate the moment until it’s passed.

Every secret of a writer’s soul, every experience of his life, every quality of his mind is written large in his works.

I have always reckoned the dignity of the republic of first importance and preferable to life.

Life is short, the art long.

For me, when I picture the person I want to end up with, I don’t think about what their career is, or what they look like. I picture the feeling I get when I’m with them.

If we don’t know life, how can we know death?

If you like it you should enjoy it! Moderation in everything. If there’s things you really love, you should enjoy. You get one life, so you should enjoy it.

Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. These acts shatter steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve.

I decided, very early on, just to accept life unconditionally; I never expected it to do anything special for me, yet I seemed to accomplish far more than I had ever hoped. Most of the time it just happened to me without my ever seeking it.

Everything happens to everybody sooner or later if there is time enough.

The choicest pleasures of life lie within the ring of moderation.

If life gives you limes, make margaritas.

No evil can happen to a good man, either in life or after death.

The good parts of a book may be only something a writer is lucky enough to overhear or it may be the wreck of his whole damn life and one is as good as the other.

The royal road to a man’s heart is to talk to him about the things he treasures most.

That government is the strongest of which every man feels himself a part.

Fiction is like a spider’s web, attached ever so slightly perhaps, but still attached to life at all four corners. Often the attachment is scarcely perceptible.

As far as I’m concerned, I’m a writer who’s writing books, and therefore, I don’t want to die. You’d miss the end of the book wouldn’t you? You can’t die with an unfinished book.

Life, if well lived, is long enough.

I defy gravity.

Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life.

Virtue is bold, and goodness never fearful.

Even the securest financial plan and the finest health coverage aren’t enough to hold us steady when the challenges come… We need something more, something deeper and unshakeable, something that will see us through life’s hard times.

Do you know the only value life has is what life puts on itself?

I’m very weak in a sense. I’m very tiny and I am very emotional, and that is not something people usually associate with strength.

I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We’ve created life in our own image.

Life would be tragic if it weren’t funny.

Everybody is going to have their critics. It’s easy to get discouraged in life.

Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.

The difficult thing is that vulnerability is the first thing I look for in you and the last thing I’m willing to show you. In you, it’s courage and daring. In me, it’s weakness.

There is no love of life without despair of life.

There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.

The act of dying is one of the acts of life.

Create a ladder of values and priorities in your life, reminding yourself of what really matters to you.

You have been chosen, and you must therefore use such strength and heart and wits as you have.

There is no wealth but life.

You can’t imagine parlor ballads drifting out of high-rise multi-towered buildings. That kind of music existed in a more timeless state of life.

All theory, dear friend, is gray, but the golden tree of life springs ever green.

Actor’s life is very long.

I’m really looking forward to seeing what life brings to me.

Such is the state of life, that none are happy but by the anticipation of change: the change itself is nothing; when we have made it, the next wish is to change again.

Life is a matter of really tough choices.

The life which men praise and regard as successful is but one kind. Why should we exaggerate any one kind at the expense of the others?

The absurd depends as much on man as on the world. For the moment, it is all that links them together.

I draw pleasure in governance, in doing new things and bringing people together. That pleasure is all I need from life.

That’s the shock: All cliches are true. The years really do speed by. Life really is as short as they tell you it is. And there really is a God – so do I buy that one? If all the other cliches are true… Hell, don’t pose me that one.

In so far as the mind is stronger than the body, so are the ills contracted by the mind more severe than those contracted by the body.

One friend in a lifetime is much, two are many, three are hardly possible. Friendship needs a certain parallelism of life, a community of thought, a rivalry of aim.

People think, because we’re young, we aren’t complex, but that’s not true. We deal with life and love and broken hearts in the same way a woman a few years older might.

There is no more fatal blunderer than he who consumes the greater part of his life getting his living.

Life in abundance comes only through great love.

What life half gives a man, posterity gives entirely.

A friend is one soul abiding in two bodies.
