– Captain Edmund Blackadder, Blackadder Goes Forth

"The pursuit of happiness" is an American myth. The ideologies and governments of this century that promised happiness, have left people with more material possessions, but less psychological well-being. Many of the citizens are emotionally bankrupt and unhappy. The demands of life in our current socioeconomic system require that we keep running and running with little or no breaks....Like their parents, most of the young professionals will drift through life racing for the "American Dream", going through very expensive trial-and-error lessons and struggling to achieve happiness and fulfillment.

– Med Jones

...a science is said to be useful if its development tends to accentuate the existing inequalities in the destribution of wealth, or more directly promotes the destruction of human life.

– G.H. Hardy

...One of the strongest motives that lead men to art and science is escape from everyday life with its painful crudity and hopeless dreariness, from the fetters of one's own ever-shifting desires. A finely tempered nature longs to escape from the personal life into the world of objective perception and thought.

– Albert Einstein

A baby is God's opinion that life should go on.

– Carl Sandburg

A chief event in life is the day in which we have encountered a mind that startled us.

– Ralph Waldo Emerson

A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life depends on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the measure as I have received and am still receiving.

– Albert Einstein

A life lived in chaos is an impossibility...

– Madeleine L'Engle

A life of reaction is a life of slavery, intellectually and spiritually. One must fight for a life of action, not reaction.

– Rita Mae Brown

A life spent in making mistakes is not only more honorable but more useful than a life spent in doing nothing.

– George Bernard Shaw

A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.

– George Bernard Shaw

A life that is defended by excuses has become comfortable in defeat, it has settled for mediocrity and is destined for failure.

– Oscar Bonga Nomvete

A man has made at least a start on discovering the meaning of human life when he plants shade trees under which he knows full well he will never sit.

– D. Elton Trueblood

A man sooner or later discovers that he is the master-gardener of his soul, the director of his life.

– James Allen

A person has three choices in life. You can swim against the tide and get exhausted, or you can tread water and let the tide sweep you away, or you can swim with the tide, and let it take you where it wants you to go.

– Andrew Schneider

All swallows all. Life must eat life to survive.

– Dejan Stojanovic

And then I felt sad because I realized that once people are broken in certain ways, they can't ever be fixed, and this is something nobody ever tells you when you are young and it never fails to surprise you as you grow older as you see the people in your life break one by one. You wonder when your turn is going to be, or if it's already happened.

– Douglas Couplan

And when the hourglass has run out, the hourglass of temporality, when the noise of secular life has grown silent and its restless or ineffectual activism has come to an end, when everything around you is still, as it is in eternity, then eternity asks you and every individual in these millions and millions about only one thing: whether you have lived in despair or not.

– Soren Kierkegaard, "The Sickness Unto Death"

And whether I come to my own today or in ten thousand or ten million years, I can cheefully take it now, or with equal cheerfulness I can wait... And as to you, Life, I reckon you are the leavings of many deaths, (No doubt I have died myself ten thousand times before.)

– Walt Whitman

Answer That you are here---that life exists and identity, That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.

– Walt Whitman

Any woman who has a career and a family automatically develops something in the way of two personalities, like two sides of a dollar bill, each different in design. ... Her problem is to keep one from draining the life from the other.

– Ivy Baker Priest

As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life - so I became a scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls.

– M. Cartmill

As the light changed from red to green to yellow and back to red again, I sat there thinking about life. Was it nothing more than a bunch of honking and yelling Sometimes it seemed that way.

– Jack Handey Deep Thoughts

Be still sad heart and cease repining;
Behind the clouds the sun is shining,
Thy fate is the common fate of all,
Into each life a little rain must fall,
Some days must be dark and dreary.

– Longfellow

Bear in mind that you should conduct yourself in life as at a feast.

– Epictetus
