In war, you win or lose, live or die – and the difference is just an eyelash.

May you live your life as if the maxim of your actions were to become universal law.

It all went wrong with football, the thing I loved most of all, and from there, my life slowly fell apart.

We want to play the AFC Cup every year.

Most of our lives aren’t that exciting, but the drama is still going on in the small details.

It matters not how a man dies, but how he lives. The act of dying is not of importance, it lasts so short a time.

War should be the politics of last resort. And when we go to war, we should have a purpose that our people understand and support.

Throughout my career, I learned plenty about war on the battlefield, but I learned even more about the importance of finding peace. And that is what the State Department and U.S.A.I.D. do: prevent the wars that we can avoid so that we fight only the ones we must.

He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.

Something’s very wrong with a nation that would rather spend money on war than take care of its children.

It is as natural to die as to be born; and to a little infant, perhaps, the one is as painful as the other.

Getting money is not all a man’s business: to cultivate kindness is a valuable part of the business of life.

Some people want to win races. Other people want to be President of the United States.

Alcohol is the anesthesia by which we endure the operation of life.

Actor’s life is very long.

Parting is all we know of heaven, and all we need of hell.

On life’s vast ocean diversely we sail. Reasons the card, but passion the gale.

It is possible to provide security against other ills, but as far as death is concerned, we men live in a city without walls.

War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.

Poetry is a way of taking life by the throat.

There is so much that must be done in a civilized barbarism like war.

Life is warfare.

Absence and death are the same – only that in death there is no suffering.

It has always been my private conviction that any man who puts his intelligence up against a fish and loses had it coming.

And winning is a huge thing for me.

It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all, in which case you have failed by default.

Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life.

When we are born we cry that we are come to this great stage of fools.

Death and vulgarity are the only two facts in the nineteenth century that one cannot explain away.

My life is the road, man. I need to keep moving.

In my line of work, the enemy gets a vote.

Every man has the right to risk his own life in order to preserve it. Has it ever been said that a man who throws himself out the window to escape from a fire is guilty of suicide?

It is not length of life, but depth of life.

To be prepared for war is one of the most effective means of preserving peace.

A man builds a fine house; and now he has a master, and a task for life: he is to furnish, watch, show it, and keep it in repair, the rest of his days.

I don’t know anything that builds the will to win better than competitive sports.

One should always play fairly when one has the winning cards.

Life is to be lived. If you have to support yourself, you had bloody well better find some way that is going to be interesting. And you don’t do that by sitting around.

Let us beware of saying that death is the opposite of life. The living being is only a species of the dead, and a very rare species.

The worst enemy of life, freedom and the common decencies is total anarchy; their second worst enemy is total efficiency.

Life’s tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late.

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I intended to be.

We did not raise armies for glory or for conquest.

When I die, and people realize that I will not be resurrected in three days, they will forget me. That is the way it should be.

There is no wealth but life.

My only fear is that I may live too long. This would be a subject of dread to me.

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

Competition has been shown to be useful up to a certain point and no further, but cooperation, which is the thing we must strive for today, begins where competition leaves off.

Life is thickly sown with thorns, and I know no other remedy than to pass quickly through them. The longer we dwell on our misfortunes, the greater is their power to harm us.

He would make a lovely corpse.

Domination and monopoly is the name of the game in the web marketplace.

Marathon running, like golf, is a game for players, not winners. That is why Callaway sells golf clubs and Nike sells running shoes. But running is unique in that the world’s best racers are on the same course, at the same time, as amateurs, who have as much chance of winning as your average weekend warrior would scoring a touchdown in the NFL.

The astronomer will believe that the most erratic comet will yet accomplish its journey and revisit our sphere; but we give up those for lost who have not wandered one-half the distance from the centre of light and life.

I should have no objection to go over the same life from its beginning to the end: requesting only the advantage authors have, of correcting in a second edition the faults of the first.

But I think there are a set of experiences that turn a potential writer into a working writer, and then there are places in your life were you start to recognize what you want to do.

If we lose love and self respect for each other, this is how we finally die.

This industry has been really good to me. It’s been a great life. I’m not through yet. I’m ready when you are, Mr. DeMille.

It’s pretty intense writing about my own life, my own struggles.

Life belongs to the living, and he who lives must be prepared for changes.

If he have faith, the believer cannot be restrained. He betrays himself. He breaks out. He confesses and teaches this gospel to the people at the risk of life itself.

We do not know what love is. We know the symptoms of it, the pleasure, the pain, the fear, the anxiety and so on. We try to solve the symptoms, which becomes a wandering in darkness. We spend our days and nights in this, and it is soon over in death.
