Let us all remember this: one cannot proclaim the Gospel of Jesus without the tangible witness of one’s life.

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

Life’s a bit like mountaineering – never look down.

Life would be tragic if it weren’t funny.

Life is a difficult game. You can win it only by retaining your birthright to be a person.

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 infinitely happier if we could only be born at the age of eighty and gradually approach eighteen.

Mars is the only place in the solar system where it’s possible for life to become multi-planetarian.

Our rights are not absolute. Our rights can be curtailed in the interest of public safety.

You’re beautiful, like a May fly.

There are three constants in life… change, choice and principles.

Womanist is to feminist as purple is to lavender.

Have you ever thought how humiliating and distressing it was to be placed upon a sphere? For friendship it is a boon never to be able to be further apart than the antipodes. But suppose that you are leaving together to go on and on; it is impossible. To go beyond a certain point is to return to where you began.

I no longer feel attracted to the well-made novel. I want to write the story that will zero in and give you intense, but not connected, moments of experience. I guess that’s the way I see life. People remake themselves bit by bit and do things they don’t understand.

All the time, I’ve felt that life is a wager and that I probably was getting more out of leading a bohemian existence as a writer than I would have if I didn’t.

For awhile after you quit Keats all other poetry seems to be only whistling or humming.

Golf without bunkers and hazards would be tame and monotonous. So would life.

Had I pursued my education long enough to learn all the conventional dos and don’ts of starting a business, I often wonder how different my life and career might have been.

Life is a song to me.

Life is a gamble. You can get hurt, but people die in plane crashes, lose their arms and legs in car accidents; people die every day. Same with fighters: some die, some get hurt, some go on. You just don’t let yourself believe it will happen to you.

Dictionaries are like watches, the worst is better than none and the best cannot be expected to go quite true.

Read no history: nothing but biography, for that is life without theory.

We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.

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

I think any life can be interesting, any surroundings can be interesting. I don’t think I could have been so brave if I had been living in a town, competing with people on what can be called a generally higher cultural level.

This has always been my life and no one else’s, and that’s how it’s always been since the day I came in it.

A chain is no stronger than its weakest link, and life is after all a chain.

My favorite thing in life is writing about life, specifically the parts of life concerning love. Because, as far as I’m concerned, love is absolutely everything.

In such a porcelain life, one likes to be sure that all is well lest one stumble upon one’s hopes in a pile of broken crockery.

Chaos often breeds life, when order breeds habit.

For time and the world do not stand still. Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or the present are certain to miss the future.

‚Kiss Land‘ is like a horror movie.

I was really too honest a man to be a politician and live.

I have learned, in my life and work as a sportswriter, that big-time Sports and big-time Politics are not so far apart in America. They are both a means to the same end, which is victory… And why not? Victory is good for you, and don’t let anybody tell you different.

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

Obama’s not Jesus. He can’t walk on water.

In every parting there is an image of death.

You accept that this civilisation could be abolished and life will begin later on after a few thousand years because that is something that has happened in the history of this planet. When you have peace in yourself and accept, then you are calm enough to do something, but if you are carried by despair there is no hope.

Life begins on the other side of despair.

Death is nothing, but to live defeated and inglorious is to die daily.

As is a tale, so is life: not how long it is, but how good it is, is what matters.

The way to know life is to love many things.

If I had to choose a superhero to be, I would pick Superman. He’s everything that I’m not.

The marvelous richness of human experience would lose something of rewarding joy if there were no limitations to overcome. The hilltop hour would not be half so wonderful if there were no dark valleys to traverse.

Noise proves nothing. Often a hen who has merely laid an egg cackles as if she laid an asteroid.

Life is short, the art long.

Life could be wonderful if people would leave you alone.

The greatest mistake you can make in life is continually fearing that you’ll make one.

God is cruel. Sometimes he makes you live.

The greatest destroyer of peace is abortion because if a mother can kill her own child, what is left for me to kill you and you to kill me? There is nothing between.

First and foremost comes my family and my life with Brad. We have so much joy in raising our children and teaching them about the world that nothing really compares to that.

Old age: the crown of life, our play’s last act.

Religion is not a department of life; it is something that enters into the whole of it.

Life’s too short to hang out with people who aren’t resourceful.

What do we live for, if not to make life less difficult for each other?

Life contains but two tragedies. One is not to get your heart’s desire; the other is to get it.

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

I always like to look on the optimistic side of life, but I am realistic enough to know that life is a complex matter.
