Of this our true individual life, our present life is a glimpse, a fragment, a hint, and in its best moments a visible beginning.
The human race is intoxicated with narrow victories, for life is a string of them like pearls that hit the floor when the rope breaks, and roll away in perfection and anarchy.
Life is a miracle, and we need to not fear trying to achieve our potential and reveal the remarkable creation we and all living things are and that our Creator has built into us the ability to induce self-healing.
I think there’s something that happens at 40 where you settle into your own skin and you stop caring what people think – you realize life is a gift from God and you want to live it to the fullest.
Like it or not, life is a series of competitions. You may be competing for a grade, a spot on a team, a job, or the largest account in town. The higher your self-esteem is, the better you get along with yourself, with others, and the more you’ll accomplish.
My life is a mosaic, and there’s no room in between pieces at all.
I don’t want to be married to any ideology, because life is a lot more fluid than that, and I think that we’re trained and conditioned in this country to think in teams.
Life is a jest; and all things show it. I thought so once; but now I know it.
I feel very badly about anybody that’s sick and in a wheelchair or not doing well. But you know, you have to go, ‘Life is a poker game, and we’re going to play our cards somehow.’
Life is a rotten lottery. I’ve had a pretty amazing life, a good life, and God knows I’m thankful, but I do believe that after 30, stop whining! Everybody’s dealt a hand, and it’s not fair what you get. But you’ve got to deal with it.
In the military, and in business, the most elite and effective teams I’ve seen or been part of are filled with individuals who take responsibility for their choices. Life is a series of decisions that you make and actions you take, not a series of things that happen to you.
Nobody’s life is a bed of roses. We all have crosses to bear, and we all just do our best. I would never claim to have the worst situation. There are many widows, and many people dying of AIDS, many people killed in Lebanon, people starving all over the planet. So we have to count our lucky stars.
It’s hard sometimes, especially with a book like ‘Scorch Trials,’ to truly adapt to the way the book is because so many of the scenes that take place in the book are really graphed and painted for the imagination. Trying to bring that to life is a really big task.
Life is a little like a message in a bottle, to be carried by the winds and the tides.
It’s very true that you can be both selfless and selfish at the same time. What we tend towards, particularly in filmmaking, is this binary sort of, ‘This is a good guy, this is a bad guy.’ And I quite like the fact that life is a bit more complex than that.
I respect the police officers, but something you learn as a young black man in this country is that… life is a little bit different for you even though, on the surface, it seems to be the same.
Life is a dead-end street.
But life is a great school. It thrashes and bangs and teaches you.
Life is a mystery. Life is uncertain. It makes one feel a bit wobbly to realize that.
Life is a school of probability.
As I’ve gotten older and my life is a lot more stable, I’ve gotten more into storytelling.
Seeing architecture differently from the way you see the rest of life is a bit weird. I believe one should be consistent in all that one does, from the books you read to the way you bring up your children. Everything you do is connected.
Many Continentals think life is a game; the English think cricket is a game.
A bachelor’s life is a fine breakfast, a flat lunch, and a miserable dinner.
I think everything you do in life is a learning experience.
All of life is a foreign country.
My life is a monument to procrastination, to the art of putting things off until later, or much later, or possibly never.
Life is a means of extracting fiction.
Stop acting as if life is a rehearsal. Live this day as if it were your last. The past is over and gone. The future is not guaranteed.
When you’re a kid, I think you want to be a film star. And I’m not as enamoured with that any more. The reality of that life is a lot of travel, and a lot of being away, which is impractical because I have four children, so I don’t want to be away that much, not the other side of the world away.
Life is a poker game, and everybody has to show their cards.
My house in my real life is a no-purple zone.
Every perfect life is a parable invented by God.
To not follow your passion in life is a recipe for failure and unhappiness.
September 11 impressed upon us that life is a precious gift. Every life has a purpose. And I think we all have a duty to devote at least a small portion of our daily lives to ensuring that neither America nor the world ever forgets September 11.
Life is a dead-end street.
Michael Bisping’s whole life is a film scene. He’s always acting. Confronting me at UFC 213, it makes me laugh. It’s a bit clownish.
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.
The important thing is to learn a lesson every time you lose. Life is a learning process and you have to try to learn what’s best for you. Let me tell you, life is not fun when you’re banging your head against a brick wall all the time.
Life is a song to me.
For all life is a dream, and dreams themselves are only dreams.
I think we all suffer from acute blindness at times. Life is a constant journey of trying to open your eyes. I’m just beginning my journey, and my eyes aren’t fully open yet.
Each person’s life is a story that is telling itself in the living.
What I’m saying is, ‘Look, life is a long thing, and I don’t need enemies. I need friends just like Donald Trump.’
Succeeding in life is a difficult business – you need to work 16 hours a day, face failures along the way, remember that nobody owes you a thing, and take risks.
This life is a process of learning.
For a true artist, life is a real academy. I am always both a student and a teacher. I have been teaching art to children since the age of eight. Now I am a co-founder of Akiane Arts School at Foreli Academy, where we are now enrolling students.
Life is a wretched gray Saturday, but it has to be lived through.
I honestly believe life is a combination of laughter and tears, and it’s almost always better to laugh than to cry.
There was a moth in there, and it still had its wings crumpled up, and it was just starting to pump its wings up. Life continues in lots of places, and life is a magical thing.
I ask everyone in Russia to pray for me, beginning with the bishops, whose whole life is a single prayer. I ask prayers also of those who humbly do not believe in the efficacy of their prayers, as well as of those who do not believe in prayer at all and even consider it useless.
Life is a series of avoiding horrible situations until ultimately you’re dead. That’s how I feel about things.
I certainly wouldn’t say that my life is a disaster, but there have been moments where I’ve felt like that.
Life is a wildly transient thing with people coming into your life and dropping away. It definitely takes work to maintain relationships.
The most important educational vehicle in all life is a parent figure.
Life is a moderately good play with a badly written third act.
Life is a long preparation for something that never happens.
There is surely nothing other than the single purpose of the present moment. A man’s whole life is a succession of moment after moment. If one fully understands the present moment, there will be nothing else to do, and nothing else to pursue. Live being true to the single purpose of the moment.
Every life is a profession of faith, and exercises an inevitable and silent influence.
For those of us who consider ourselves political moderates, life is a dispiriting slog, a sorry mix of rectitude and ineptitude.
Life is a process of working out what’s not working for you and disentangling yourself from it and trying then not walk into the same thing again. Watching your patterns and correcting them if you can.
Life is a mountain of solvable problems, and I enjoy that.
Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly.
The game of life is a lot like football. You have to tackle your problems, block your fears, and score your points when you get the opportunity.
The truth is you don’t know what is going to happen tomorrow. Life is a crazy ride, and nothing is guaranteed.
Much as soldiers come back, they’ve been in combat or the edge of it and suddenly that adjustment back to civilian life is a real challenge.
I have ridiculously bad eyesight, but I have learned to live with an impressionistic view. Life is a Monet painting. I wander around enjoying myopia.
I found that this life is a gift, and everything that comes with it is a gift.
Should we find a second form of life right here on our doorstep, we could be confident that life is a truly cosmic phenomenon. If so, there may well be sentient beings somewhere in the galaxy wondering, as do we, if they are not alone in the universe.
