Life Quotes and Proverbs

Doc Childre and Howard Martin, The HeartMath Solution
Look at life as an energy economy game. Each day, ask yourself, Are my energy expenditures (actions, reactions, thoughts, and feelings) productive or nonproductive? During the course of my day, have I accumulated more stress or more peace?

Robbert Oustin
Life is like a hot bath. It feels good while you're in it, but the longer you stay in, the more wrinkled you get.

Doc Childre and Howard Martin, The HeartMath Solution
When we react to life from the head without joining forces with the heart, it can lead us into childish, inelegant behavior that we don't respect in ourselves. If we get the head in sync with the heart first, we have the power of their teamwork working for us and we can make the changes we know we need to make.

Unknown
Don't cry because its over, smile because it happened.

Doc Childre and Howard Martin, The HeartMath Solution
We've all heard the voice of our heart before, whether we followed it or not. As we learn more about the heart and find that we can trust its contributions to our awareness, a new and more rewarding life experience will emerge for individuals and for society. It's worth considering. After all, a life without heart just isn't that much fun.

Doc Childre
With just a little education and practice on how to manage your emotions, you can move into a new experience of life so rewarding that you will be motivated to keep on managing your emotional nature in order to sustain it. The payoff is delicious in terms of improved quality of life.

Doc Childre and Bruce Cryer, From Chaos to Coherence
An attitude of allowing life and people to be their unpredictable selves, while maintaining a positive inner attitude that has security either way, can bring every-increasing rates of success, personally and professionally.

Anonymous prayer
God, if I can't have what I want, let me want what I have.

Confucius
Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

Price Cobb, American race-car driver, after winning a 1988 race
Some days you're the bug. Some days you're the windshield.

Keith Ellis, Bootstraps
Like the elephant, we are unconscious of our own strength. When it comes to understanding the power we have to make a difference in our own lives, we might as well be asleep. If you want to make your dreams come true, wake up. Wake up to your own strength. Wake up to the role you play in your own destiny. Wake up to the power you have to choose what you think, do, and say.

Hellen Keller
Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.

Brian Dyson, CEO of Coca Cola Enterprises from 1959-1994
Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling five balls in the air. You name them - work, family, health, friends, and spirit - and you're keeping all of these in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls - family, health, friends, and spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged, or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for balance in your life.

Hannah
Life is good, without it we'd all be dead.

Lowri Williams
Your life lies before you like a path of driven snow, be careful how you tread it cause every step will show.

Mark Twain
There has been much tragedy in my life; at least half of it actually happend.

Kahlil Gibran, (1883 - 1931) "The Vision"
Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.

Aaron Antonovsky, Unraveling The Mystery of Health: How People Manage Stress and Stay Well.
We are coming to understand health not as the absence of disease, but rather as the process by which individuals maintain their sense of coherence (i.e. sense that life is comprehensible, manageable, and meaningful) and ability to function in the face of changes in themselves and their relationships with their environment.

Mahatma Gandhi
My life is my message.

Chinese proverb
Man who waits for roast duck to fly into mouth must wait very, very long time.

Hubert Humphrey
Life's unfairness is not irrevocable; we can help balance the scales for others, if not always for ourselves. .

B. C. Forbes
The be-all and end-all of life should not be to get rich, but to enrich the world.

Thich Nhat Hanh
Our own life is the instrument with which we experiment with the truth.

Joe E. Lewis
You only live once - but if you work it right, once is enough.

Albert Einstein
There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.

Maurice Sendak
There must be more to life than having everything.

Judy Newman
Hindsight is the "lottery" of life.

Julia Child
Life itself is the proper binge.

Pericles
What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others.

Christopher Morley
There is only one success-to be able to spend your life in your own way.

Morrie Schwartz, in "Tuesdays with Morrie" by Mitch Albom
So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they're busy doing things they think are important. This is because they're chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.

N Smith
When you live in reaction, you give your power away. Then you get to experience what you gave your power to.

David Searls
Seeing death as the end of life is like seeing the horizon as the end of the ocean.

Elizabeth Kubler-Ross
Learn to get in touch with silence within yourself, and know that everything in this life has purpose. There are no mistakes, no coincidences, all events are blessings given to us to learn from.

.Unknown
The essence of intelligence is skill in extracting meaning from everyday experience

Florida Scott-Maxwell
Life does not accomodate you, it shatters you. It is meant to, and it couldn't do it better. Every seed desstroys its container or else there would be no fruition.

Miguel de Cervantes
Too much sanity may be madness. And maddest of all, to see life as it is and not as it should be!

Unknown
Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we're here we should dance.

Samuel Ullman
Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.

Fr. Alfred D'Souza
For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin — real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way. Something to be got through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life.

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

Horace
In the midst of hopes and cares, of apprehensions and of disquietude, regard every day that dawns upon you as if it was to be your last; then super-added hours, to the enjoyment of which you had not looked forward, will prove an acceptable boon.

A Guide to a Happy Life
In life you find that one of the most desirable qualities you can find in a person is flexibility. The ability to change with changing times, to face adversity with the same attitude one would have in facing victory.

Carl Sandburg
Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you.

Indian saying
When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life so that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice.

Crowfoot
What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset.

Anthony J. D'Angelo, The College Blue Book
Promise yourself to live your life as a revolution and not just a process of evolution.

Dinah Shore
Trouble is part of your life — if you don't share it, you don't give the person who loves you a chance to love you enough.

Samuel Butler
All animals except man know that the ultimate point of life is to enjoy it.

Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.
Life happens too fast for you ever to think about it. If you could just persuade people of this, but they insist on amassing information.

Ashleigh Brilliant
My life has a superb cast but I can't figure out the plot.

Bugs Bunny
Don't take life too seriously. You'll never get out alive.

Mickey Mantle
If I knew I was going to live this long, I'd have taken better care of myself.

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

Groucho Marx
Life is a whim of several billion cells to be you for a while.
