Not how long, but how well you have lived is the main thing.

We are going to transform Britain’s rail system from the worst in the world to the best. If you can do a few things like that, when the body gives out, you can say you’ve lived a good life.

You can make a board for all the goals you want in your life with the pictures on it, and that’s great, daydreaming is wonderful, but you can never plan your future.

To be able to look back upon ones life in satisfaction, is to live twice.

My ultimate goal is to end up being happy. Most of the time.

Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.

I have retired, but if there’s anything that would kill me it is to wake up in the morning not knowing what to do.

God gave us the gift of life; it is up to us to give ourselves the gift of living well.

Old age may have its limitations and challenges, but in spite of them, our latter years can be some of the most rewarding and fulfilling of our lives.

If you’re bored with life – you don’t get up every morning with a burning desire to do things – you don’t have enough goals.

There is no wealth but life.

I am indebted to my father for living, but to my teacher for living well.

When I see myself as an old woman, I just think about being happy. And hopefully, I’ll still be fly.

I’ve done everything I wanted to do, even if I have had to pay a very high price – which has been the case most of the time.

If I could have worked from the time I was born until I was 18 and never had to work again, I would have done it.

The greenhorn is the ultimate victor in everything; it is he that gets the most out of life.

Remember your dreams and fight for them. You must know what you want from life. There is just one thing that makes your dream become impossible: the fear of failure.

You were not created to just get by with an average, unrewarding, or unfulfilling life. God created you to leave your mark on this generation.

I intend to live forever, or die trying.

We cannot be sure of having something to live for unless we are willing to die for it.

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

The important question is not, what will yield to man a few scattered pleasures, but what will render his life happy on the whole amount.

I intend to live forever. So far, so good.

Some people spend their lives building ultimate dream homes so they can enjoy their twilight years… Others spend their last days in nursing homes.

Without friends no one would choose to live, though he had all other goods.

I don’t want to be an action star; action star’s life is so short. I want my life to get longer. I want my career to get longer.

I’ve got a great ambition to die of exhaustion rather than boredom.

I don’t want to have lived in vain like most people. I want to be useful or bring enjoyment to all people, even those I’ve never met. I want to go on living even after my death!

To spend life for something which outlasts it.

Every one desires to live long, but no one would be old.

Even if you’re happy with the life you’ve chosen, you’re still curious about the other options.

Open your eyes, look within. Are you satisfied with the life you’re living?

I don’t want to be an action star, an action star’s life is so short. I want my life to get longer, I want my career to get longer.

Happiness is within the reach of everyone, rich or poor. Yet comparatively few people are happy. I believe the reason for this is that the majority don’t recognize happiness even when it is within their grasp.

Be not simply good – be good for something.

The greatest use of a life is to spend it on something that will outlast it.

A man cannot be said to succeed in this life who does not satisfy one friend.

Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn’t matter to me. Going to bed at night saying we’ve done something wonderful, that’s what matters to me.

Individuals need to be willing to face truth about their attitudes, behaviors, even what we want out of life.

To be free is to have achieved your life.

Give a man health and a course to steer, and he’ll never stop to trouble about whether he’s happy or not.

While I take inspiration from the past, like most Americans, I live for the future.
