Life was always a matter of waiting for the right moment to act.

The union of the Word and the Mind produces that mystery which is called Life… Learn deeply of the Mind and its mystery, for therein lies the secret of immortality.

If someone you know makes a bad decision or uses bad judgment, it doesn’t mean you have to allow that to alter your attitude. Why should you allow anyone else’s bad decisions to send you into a tailspin of misery?

It is the spectator, and not life, that art really mirrors.

I tell you, we are here on Earth to fart around, and don’t let anybody tell you different.

Life is an adventure, it’s not a package tour.

I have, before now, waited for a pen to perform a macro.

First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do.

Whatever you have, you must either use or lose.

It’s easier to aim to please and say what others want to hear than to form an opinion and fight for it, even if it means taking a risk or losing your job.

Freedom is never dear at any price. It is the breath of life. What would a man not pay for living?

Every man prefers belief to the exercise of judgment.

The feeling about a soldier is, when all is said and done, he wasn’t really going to do very much with his life anyway. The example usually is: he wasn’t going to compose Beethoven’s Fifth.

Thought and theory must precede all salutary action; yet action is nobler in itself than either thought or theory.

I can do no other than be reverent before everything that is called life. I can do no other than to have compassion for all that is called life. That is the beginning and the foundation of all ethics.

I act on impulse and I go with my instincts.

To sit back hoping that someday, some way, someone will make things right is to go on feeding the crocodile, hoping he will eat you last – but eat you he will.

I’ve noticed a terrible thing, which is I will agree to anything if it’s far enough in the future.

In everyone’s life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.

To succeed, jump as quickly at opportunities as you do at conclusions.

Europe has what we do not have yet, a sense of the mysterious and inexorable limits of life, a sense, in a word, of tragedy. And we have what they sorely need: a sense of life’s possibilities.

The effect of liberty to individuals is that they may do what they please: we ought to see what it will please them to do, before we risk congratulations.

Life is made of ever so many partings welded together.

We always overestimate the change that will occur in the next two years and underestimate the change that will occur in the next ten. Don’t let yourself be lulled into inaction.

Man alone is born crying, lives complaining, and dies disappointed.

When you are young you tend to do so many things that are not needed. When you get experience, you know what exactly what works for you and you tend to do things that you want.

I shall never be a heretic; I may err in dispute, but I do not wish to decide anything finally; on the other hand, I am not bound by the opinions of men.

A chief event of life is the day in which we have encountered a mind that startled us.

Some mystery should be left in the revelation of character in a play, just as a great deal of mystery is always left in the revelation of character in life, even in one’s own character to himself.

No one can pass through life, any more than he can pass through a bit of country, without leaving tracks behind, and those tracks may often be helpful to those coming after him in finding their way.

Ultimately this issue is on us. We’re the ones who make the decisions about what our kids eat.

The biggest mistake we made as a company was betting too much on HTML5.

People who think too much before they act don’t act too much.

If life were predictable it would cease to be life, and be without flavor.

For victory in life, we’ve got to keep focused on the goal, and the goal is Heaven.

You can tell the tree by the fruit it bears. You see it through what the organization is delivering as far as a concrete program. If the tree’s fruit sours or grows brackish, then the time has come to chop it down – bury it and walk over it and plant new seeds.

Confront a corpse at least once. The absolute absence of life is the most disturbing and challenging confrontation you will ever have.

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.

Although prepared for martyrdom, I preferred that it be postponed.

I always wanted to do things right and represent myself as somebody that took the art serious and someone that took the business serious also, so I had time to weigh the options and figure it out and do my best to create the situation that was ideal.

A categorical imperative would be one which represented an action as objectively necessary in itself, without reference to any other purpose.

If I have the chance to say something, I will say it – but that doesn’t obligate me to always say something, or to shed light on every problem, as if I were a lawmaker.

If you’re going to do something tonight that you’ll be sorry for tomorrow morning, sleep late.

We are not going to be satisfied by politicians saying ‚we support you‘ and then walking away. We won’t be satisfied until they meet our demands and act. That’s why simply taking a selfie or posting support on Twitter isn’t enough. That’s why we have to keep striking.

Life is not a spectator sport. If you’re going to spend your whole life in the grandstand just watching what goes on, in my opinion you’re wasting your life.

Nothing is worth doing unless the consequences may be serious.

Most of the luxuries and many of the so-called comforts of life are not only not indispensable, but positive hindrances to the elevation of mankind.

Example is leadership.

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

Man weeps to think that he will die so soon; woman, that she was born so long ago.

No man enjoys the true taste of life, but he who is ready and willing to quit it.

Without discipline, there’s no life at all.

Ideas have a short shelf life. You must act on them before the expiration date.

It’s no exaggeration to say that the undecideds could go one way or another.

Life consists in what a man is thinking of all day.

It’s not worth doing something unless you were doing something that someone, somewere, would much rather you weren’t doing.

Life is very difficult. One of the most ancient of religious ideas that emerges everywhere, I would say, is that life is essentially suffering.

When we remember we are all mad, the mysteries disappear and life stands explained.

The strongest principle of growth lies in the human choice.

A tragedy is a representation of an action that is whole and complete and of a certain magnitude. A whole is what has a beginning and middle and end.
