Quotes about life and living

  • The life of man is a long march through the night, surrounded by invisible foes, tortured by weariness and pain, towards a goal that few can hope to reach, and where none may tarry long. (Jane Thomas)
  • Life is nothing but a competition to be the criminal rather than the victim. (Jane Thomas)
  • Live virtuously, and you cannot not die too soon, or live too long. (Jane Thomas)
  • Each man must look to himself to teach him the meaning of life. It is not something discovered: it is something molded. (Jane Thomas)
  • There is no shortcut to life. To the end of our days, life is a lesson imperfectly learned. (Jane Thomas)
  • Life is a wilderness of twists and turns, where faith is your only compass. (Jane Thomas)
  • Life is not a spectacle or a feast; it is a predicament. (Jane Thomas)
  • The aim of life is some way of living, as flexible and gentle as human nature; so that ambition may stoop to kindness, and philosophy to condor and humor. Neither prosperity nor empire nor heaven can be worth winning at the price of a virulent temper, bloody hands, an anguished spirit, and a vain hatred of the rest of the world. (Jane Thomas)
  • Try as much as possible to be wholly alive, with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell and when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough. (Jane Thomas)
  • Everything has been figured out, except how to live. (Jane Thomas)
  • Every existing thing is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness, and dies by chance. (Jane Thomas)
  • Life is a rollercoaster. Try to eat a light lunch. (Jane Thomas)
  • Our first ideas of life are generally taken from fiction rather than fact. (Jane Thomas)
  • Life is but a moment, death also is but another. (Jane Thomas)
  • Just as the wave cannot exist for itself, but is ever a part of the heaving surface of the ocean, so must I never live my life for itself, but always in the experience which is going on around me. (Jane Thomas)
  • Sound, sound the clarion, fill the fife! To all the sensual world proclaim. One crowded hour of glorious life is worth an age without a name. (Jane Thomas)
  • Life may not be beautiful, but it is interesting. (Jane Thomas)
  • So live with men as if God saw you and speak to God, as if men heard you. (Jane Thomas)
  • I will govern my life and thoughts as if the whole world were to see the one and read the other, for what does it signify to make anything a secret to my neighbor, when to God, who is the searcher of our hearts, all our privacies are open? (Jane Thomas)
  • Life is warfare. (Jane Thomas)
  • Not how long, but how well you have lived is the main thing. (Jane Thomas)
  • People should always have something which they prefer to life. (Jane Thomas)
  • Life It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury; signifying nothing. (Jane Thomas)
  • Simply the thing I am shall make me live. (Jane Thomas)
  • Life is as tedious as a twice-told tale. (Jane Thomas)

  • I wouldn't mind making some good movies. I don't know why you have to be 25 to star in a movie. Or 30. (Melanie Griffith) [mind/movie]

  • Worst Quote

  • “I should start off by saying that I have a very deep affection for American Idol . It's a brilliant show, an absolute phenomenon in the history of television, and I'm not just saying that because they had me on as a guest judge and performer last year -- I truly enjoy the show and would watch it even if the contestants didn't sing my songs as part of the competition and keep my music in the minds of the record-buying public. Now, William Hung ... well, he's certainly no Clay Aiken, my all-time favorite American Idol participant for obvious reasons. But I have a special fondness for William, too -- after all, when I was starting out, people said I was funny-looking and couldn't sing. And even when I became a gigantic pop star in the '70s, I had nearly as many people who hated me as adored me, and let me tell you, a lot of people adored me! Now, could William have done a better job singing my song 'It's a Miracle,' which you can find on several of my Greatest Hits albums? Probably. But if he keeps at it despite what the millions of people who despise him think, then perhaps one day he, too, will sign an eight-year deal to entertain at the Las Vegas Hilton on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday nights, two shows on Saturday, senior citizen and group discounts available.” (Barry Manilow) [start/absolute/phenomenon/television]
