Sooner or later, I hate to break it to you, you’re gonna die, so how do you fill in the space between here and there? It’s yours. Seize your space.

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

A belief in hell and the knowledge that every ambition is doomed to frustration at the hands of a skeleton have never prevented the majority of human beings from behaving as though death were no more than an unfounded rumor.

When we talk about mortality, we are talking about our children.

You get one life. I’m going to embrace mine.

I’ve got all the money I’ll ever need, if I die by four o’clock.

When making your choice in life, do not neglect to live.

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

Mendacity is a system that we live in. Liquor is one way out an death’s the other.

We fear that this moment will end, that we won’t get what we need, that we will lose what we love, or that we will not be safe. Often, our biggest fear is the knowledge that one day our bodies will cease functioning. So even when we are surrounded by all the conditions for happiness, our joy is not complete.

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

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

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.

My life is not unlike Truman’s. I can’t go anywhere.

For if there is a sin against life, it consists perhaps not so much in despairing of life as in hoping for another life and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this life.

We should never lose an occasion. Opportunity is more powerful even than conquerors and prophets.

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.

When you cease to make a contribution, you begin to die.

We spend our lives, all of us, waiting for the great day, the great battle, or the deed of power. But that external consummation is not given to many: nor is it necessary. So long as our being is tensed, directed with passion, towards that which is the spirit of all things, then that spirit will emerge from our own hidden, nameless effort.

If we had a keen vision of all that is ordinary in human life, it would be like hearing the grass grow or the squirrel’s heart beat, and we should die of that roar which is the other side of silence.

I am 55 years old now. It takes three years to write one book. I don’t know how many books I will be able to write before I die. It is like a countdown. So with each book I am praying – please let me live until I am finished.

The last act is bloody, however pleasant all the rest of the play is: a little earth is thrown at last upon our head, and that is the end forever.

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

An unused life is an early death.

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.

Even with all the advantages of retrospect, and a lot of witnesses dead and gone, you can’t make your life look as if you intended it or you were consistent. All you can show is how you dealt with various hands.

We never live; we are always in the expectation of living.

Neither should a ship rely on one small anchor, nor should life rest on a single hope.

No one can possibly know what is about to happen: it is happening, each time, for the first time, for the only time.

My life has been very full.

Our lifelong certainties about the world can be demolished in a single second.

Life imitates art far more than art imitates Life.

While there’s life, there’s hope.

The way to know life is to love many things.

They are resilient children, but they are children, and as much as they need help to understand the hard truths in life, they also need what we all need – protection and love.

The key to immortality is first living a life worth remembering.

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

Every day that is born into the world comes like a burst of music and rings the whole day through, and you make of it a dance, a dirge, or a life march, as you will.

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

Once you fully apprehend the vacuity of a life without struggle, you are equipped with the basic means of salvation.

Life’s short. Anything could happen, and it usually does, so there is no point in sitting around thinking about all the ifs, ands and buts.

The universe is transformation: life is opinion.

We are doomed to cling to a life even while we find it unendurable.

I can think of nothing less pleasurable than a life devoted to pleasure.

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

It is more fitting for a man to laugh at life than to lament over it.

Our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children’s future. And we are all mortal.

I think the foundation of everything in my life is wonder.

Keep in mind that no matter how perfectly you get your life in order, you will never be rid of all your problems. Problems are a way of life, always have been, always will be. But how you elect to view those problems is all up to you.

If I can put one touch of rosy sunset into the life of any man or woman, I shall feel that I have worked with God.

Everybody is going to have their critics. It’s easy to get discouraged in life.

Life is so short. I would rather sing one song than interpret the thousand.

Those who have been writing literature have not been writing life.

How did it get so late so soon? Its night before its afternoon. December is here before its June. My goodness how the time has flewn. How did it get so late so soon?

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.

Woman, or more precisely put, perhaps, marriage, is the representative of life with which you are meant to come to terms.

Without work, all life goes rotten. But when work is soulless, life stifles and dies.

My career as Nipsey Hussle is based on my life as Ermias Asghedom.

Life is precious.

I believe life is an intelligent thing: that things aren’t random.

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.
