Most of the change we think we see in life is due to truths being in and out of favor.

All variety of created objects which represent order and life in the universe could happen only by the willful reasoning of its original Creator, whom I call the ‚Lord God.‘

Only the wisest and stupidest of men never change.

Every step of life shows much caution is required.

Fables should be taught as fables, myths as myths, and miracles as poetic fantasies. To teach superstitions as truths is a most terrible thing. The child mind accepts and believes them, and only through great pain and perhaps tragedy can he be in after years relieved of them.

Life must be lived and curiosity kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.

Judgments, value judgments concerning life, for or against, can in the last resort never be true: they possess value only as symptoms, they come into consideration only as symptoms – in themselves such judgments are stupidities.

The curse of me and my nation is that we always think things can be bettered by immediate action of some sort, any sort rather than no sort.

Death is one moment, and life is so many of them.

Work is the meat of life, pleasure the dessert.

I see the world being slowly transformed into a wilderness; I hear the approaching thunder that, one day, will destroy us too. I feel the suffering of millions. And yet, when I look up at the sky, I somehow feel that everything will change for the better, that this cruelty too shall end, that peace and tranquility will return once more.

I joyfully hasten to meet death. If it come before I have had opportunity to develop all my artistic faculties, it will come, my hard fate notwithstanding, too soon, and I should probably wish it later – yet even then I shall be happy, for will it not deliver me from a state of endless suffering?

The main rule to me is to honor God with your life. To life a life of integrity. Not be selfish. You know, help others. But that’s really the essence of the Christian faith.

It put our energies to sleep and made visionaries of us – dreamers and indolent… It is good to begin life poor; it is good to begin life rich – these are wholesome; but to begin it prospectively rich! The man who has not experienced it cannot imagine the curse of it.

Men must live and create. Live to the point of tears.

People who don’t like my work say that the connections seem too arbitrary. But that’s how life is.

We are each made for goodness, love and compassion. Our lives are transformed as much as the world is when we live with these truths.

There is nothing so stable as change.

Live your life while you have it. Life is a splendid gift. There is nothing small in it. Far the greatest things grow by God’s law out of the smallest. But to live your life, you must discipline it.

Jesus lived a life that was full of joy and contradictions and fights, you know? If they were to paint a picture of Jesus without contradictions, the gospels would be fake, but the contradictions are a sign of authenticity.

Life is a progress from want to want, not from enjoyment to enjoyment.

Life imitates art far more than art imitates Life.

As a general rule, the most successful man in life is the man who has the best information.

There is nothing permanent except change.

A revolution is a struggle to the death between the future and the past.

Chains of habit are too light to be felt until they are too heavy to be broken.

It’s in responsibility that most people find the meaning that sustains them through life. It’s not in happiness. It’s not in impulsive pleasure.

Without health life is not life; it is only a state of langour and suffering – an image of death.

Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don’t resist them – that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.

The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty, and all forms of human life.

A man is born alone and dies alone; and he experiences the good and bad consequences of his karma alone; and he goes alone to hell or the Supreme abode.

Isn’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.

Men may change their climate, but they cannot change their nature. A man that goes out a fool cannot ride or sail himself into common sense.

Life would be tragic if it weren’t funny.

Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it’s a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope, and that enables you to laugh at life’s realities.

Paris by night is a nightmare now. It is not a cliche anymore.

I put all my genius into my life; I put only my talent into my works.

The Congo was the most difficult shoot of my life but was also maybe the greatest adventure of my life.

I’ve watched a lot of people who became famous who completely change and I think it’s because they tend to believe all the hype that’s out there. I don’t think there’s that much hype about me.

Love is anterior to life, posterior to death, initial of creation, and the exponent of breath.

We all get weary sometimes, and we tend to think that life is what makes us weary.

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.

Life is one grand, sweet song, so start the music.

He that has done you a kindness will be more ready to do you another, than he whom you yourself have obliged.

If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading.

Our affections as well as our bodies are in perpetual flux.

If you lose a big fight, it will worry you all of your life. It will plague you – until you get your revenge.

Life comes with many challenges. The ones that should not scare us are the ones we can take on and take control of.

You cannot step into the same river twice.

The art of living is more like wrestling than dancing.

In a progressive country change is constant; change is inevitable.

You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but you can change yourself. That is something you have charge of.

My life is my message.

The more sand has escaped from the hourglass of our life, the clearer we should see through it.

Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s coming attractions.

Life every man holds dear; but the dear man holds honor far more precious dear than life.

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.

Everywhere in life, the true question is not what we gain, but what we do.

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

I’m half living my life between reality and fantasy at all times. It’s best not to ask questions and just enjoy.

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