[teji]

Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it.

Martin Luther King Jr.

[teji]

Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams.

Ashley Smith

[teji]

Everything happens for a reason, people change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so you can appreciate them when they're right, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can come together.

Marilyn Monroe

[teji]

There are three great events in our lives: birth, life and death. Of birth we have no conscience; with death, we suffer; and, concerning life, we forget to live it.

Jean de La Bruyère

[teji]

Life is like an onion; you peel off one layer at a time and sometimes you weep.

Carl Sandburg

The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.

Mark Twain

There is no cure for birth and death unless to enjoy the interval.

George Santayana

[teji]

Don't ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.

Howard Thurman

[teji]

I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.

Jack London

[teji]

Here is a test to find out whether your mission in life is complete. If you're alive, it isn't.

Richard Bach
