Every person born into this world has a natural right to sustain, preserve, and defend his own life to the best of his ability.
Life attracts life.
Every moment of life is a step towards death.
O philosophy, life’s guide! O searcher-out of virtue and expeller of vices! What could we and every age of men have been without thee? Thou hast produced cities; thou hast called men scattered about into the social enjoyment of life.
Your life will be good and secure when aliveness will mean more to you than security; love more than money; your freedom more than party line or public opinion
If you ask me what I came into this life to do, I will tell you: I came to live out loud.
True life is lived when tiny changes occur.
No one who has lived even for a fleeting moment for something other than life in its conventional sense and has experienced the exaltation that this feeling produces can then renounce his new freedom so easily.
Our body is a machine for living. It is organized for that, it is its nature. Let life go on in it unhindered and let it defend itself.
I am little concerned with beauty or perfection. I don't care for the great centuries. All I care about is life, struggle, intensity.
In history as in human life, regret does not bring back a lost moment and a thousand years will not recover something lost in a single hour.
The truth is that life is delicious, horrible, charming, frightful, sweet, bitter, and that is everything.
Without realizing it, the individual composes his life according to the laws of beauty even in times of greatest distress.
Everything tends to make us believe that there exists a certain point of the mind at which life and death, the real and the imagined, past and future, the communicable and the incommunicable, high and low, cease to be perceived as contradictions.
Suffering! We owe to it all that is good in us, all that gives value to life we owe to it pity, we owe to it courage, we owe to it all the virtues.
I am always astonishing myself. It is the only thing that makes life worth living.
One cannot judge a life by any less true measure than death.
Education is not confined to childhood and adolescence. Learning is not limited to the schools. Throughout life, our milieu is our teacher, at once stern and dangerous.
Let us consider the way in which we spend our lives.
Life is more beautiful than caution.
A broad margin of leisure is as beautiful in a man's life as in a book. Haste makes waste, no less in life than in housekeeping. Keep the time, observe the hours of the universe, not of the cars.
Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake.
There is always a present and extant life, be it better or worse, which all combine to uphold.
I think that there is nothing, not even crime, more opposed to poetry, to philosophy, ay, to life itself than this incessant business.
Today, more than ever before, life must be characterized by a sense of Universal responsibility, not only nation to nation and human to human, but also human to other forms of life.
I wish that every human life might be pure transparent freedom.
We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.
In war as in life, it is often necessary when some cherished scheme has failed, to take up the best alternative open, and if so, it is folly not to work for it with all your might.
There is no value in life except what you choose to place upon it and no happiness in any place except what you bring to it yourself.
This soul, or life within us, by no means agrees with the life outside us. If one has the courage to ask her what she thinks, she is always saying the very opposite to what other people say.
