- Life was meant to be lived, and curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.
- Eleanor Roosevelt (1884 - 1962)
- Eternity has nothing to do with the hereafter... This is it... If you don't get it here, you won't get it anywhere. The experience of eternity right here and now is the function of life. Heaven is not the place to have the experience; here's the place to have the experience.
- Joseph Campbell (1904 - 1987)
- The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity.
- Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)
- One should guard against preaching to young people success in the customary form as the main aim in life. The most important motive for work in school and in life is pleasure in work, pleasure in its result, and the knowledge of the value of the result to the community.
- Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955), On Education
- You must not for one instant give up the effort to build new lives for yourselves. Creativity means to push open the heavy, groaning doorway to life. This is not an easy struggle. Indeed, it may be the most difficult task in the world, for opening the door to your own life is, in the end, more difficult than opening the doors to the mysteries of the universe.
- Daisaku Ikeda
- There are three ingredients in the good life: learning, earning, and yearning.
- Christopher Morley (1890 - 1957)
- The courage to imagine the otherwise is our greatest resource, adding color and suspense to all our life.
- Daniel Boorstin
- In the attitude of silence the soul finds the path in a clearer light, and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness. Our life is a long and arduous quest after Truth.
- Mahatma Gandhi (1869 - 1948)
- There is timing in the whole life of the warrior, in his thriving and declining, in his harmony and discord. Similarly, there is timing in the Way of the merchant, in the rise and fall of capital. All things entail rising and falling timing. You must be able to discern this.
- Miyamoto Musashi
- The mind has a thousand eyes.
And the heart but one;
Yet the life of a whole life dies
When love is done. - Francis William Bourdillon
