What is my life if I am no longer useful to others.

Affection is responsible for nine-tenths of whatever solid and durable happiness there is in our lives.

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

If I make music and people hate it, you know, whatever. I’ll die someday, and one day, they will too.

The happiness of this life depends less on what befalls you than the way in which you take it.

Wealth is the ability to fully experience life.

If literature isn’t everything, it’s not worth a single hour of someone’s trouble.

The Bible says that God has a reason for keeping us here; if He didn’t, He would take us to Heaven far sooner.

Every man’s life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguish one man from another.

The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you’ve got it made.

As an entrepreneur, as an investor, I’m trying to be as educated as I can to where the progression of technological capability is going and what it does to these different categories that, me as an artist and an influencer, I can get involved and bring value.

He who enjoys doing and enjoys what he has done is happy.

I have lived eighty years of life and know nothing for it, but to be resigned and tell myself that flies are born to be eaten by spiders and man to be devoured by sorrow.

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.

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

Growing old has been the greatest surprise of my life.

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

Our life is frittered away by detail… simplify, simplify.

It is as natural to die as to be born; and to a little infant, perhaps, the one is as painful as the other.

When you say ‚follow me on Twitter,‘ and you get 10 million people to follow you – you just leveraged your influence to add value to an app that you have no ownership in.

If you have the opportunity to play this game of life you need to appreciate every moment. A lot of people don’t appreciate the moment until it’s passed.

For me life is continuously being hungry. The meaning of life is not simply to exist, to survive, but to move ahead, to go up, to achieve, to conquer.

As the biggest library if it is in disorder is not as useful as a small but well-arranged one, so you may accumulate a vast amount of knowledge but it will be of far less value than a much smaller amount if you have not thought it over for yourself.

Men can only be happy when they do not assume that the object of life is happiness.

Doctors will have more lives to answer for in the next world than even we generals.

We are all of us stars, and we deserve to twinkle.

What is a fear of living? It’s being preeminently afraid of dying. It is not doing what you came here to do, out of timidity and spinelessness. The antidote is to take full responsibility for yourself – for the time you take up and the space you occupy. If you don’t know what you’re here to do, then just do some good.

No one can outrun death. It will catch up to all of us eventually.

I deserve respect for the things I did not do.

My life has been very full.

A great value of antiquity lies in the fact that its writings are the only ones that modern men still read with exactness.

Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.

Not only must we be good, but we must also be good for something.

Our schools and colleges are turning out people who cannot feel fulfilled unless they are telling other people what to do.

I don’t believe we are supposed to go through life defeated and not having enough money to pay our bills or send our kids to college.

I think if we didn’t contradict ourselves, it would be awfully boring. It would be tedious to be alive.

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.

All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.

When a team takes ownership of its problems, the problem gets solved. It is true on the battlefield, it is true in business, and it is true in life.

And I try to give the best bang for the buck. I love performing more than anything else.

This life, which had been the tomb of his virtue and of his honour, is but a walking shadow; a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more: it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

Life is essentially a cheat and its conditions are those of defeat; the redeeming things are not happiness and pleasure but the deeper satisfactions that come out of struggle.

Life is as tedious as twice-told tale, vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man.

Be happy with being you. Love your flaws. Own your quirks. And know that you are just as perfect as anyone else, exactly as you are.

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

When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive – to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.

I think life on Earth must be about more than just solving problems… It’s got to be something inspiring, even if it is vicarious.

As we advance in life it becomes more and more difficult, but in fighting the difficulties the inmost strength of the heart is developed.

Time stays, we go.

Nothing in life is promised except death.

You will be as much value to others as you have been to yourself.

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

Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better take things as they come along with patience and equanimity.

The one charm about marriage is that it makes a life of deception absolutely necessary for both parties.
