Quotes about life and living

  • Life is a disease; and the only difference between one man and another is the stage of the disease at which he lives. You are always at the crisis: I am always in the convalescent stage. (Jane Thomas)
  • Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh. (Jane Thomas)
  • Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got a hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations. (Jane Thomas)
  • Life is like a cash register, in that every account, every thought, every deed, like every sale, is registered and recorded. (Jane Thomas)
  • Life is obstinate and clings closest where it is most hated. (Jane Thomas)
  • There are chapters in every life which are seldom read and certainly not aloud. (Jane Thomas)
  • The game of life is a game of boomerangs. Our thoughts, deeds and words return to us sooner or later with astounding accuracy. (Jane Thomas)
  • In making a living today, many no longer leave room for life. (Jane Thomas)
  • Life will always be to a large extent what we ourselves make it. (Jane Thomas)

  • Life is the continuous adjustment of internal relations to external relations. (Jane Thomas)
  • Live long and prosper. (Jane Thomas)
  • The slightest living thing answers a deeper need than all the works of man because it is transitory. It has an evanescence of life, or growth, or change: it passes, as we do, from one stage to the another, from darkness to darkness, into a distance where we, too, vanish out of sight. A work of art is static; and its value and its weakness lie in being so: but the tuft of grass and the clouds above it belong to our own travelling brotherhood. (Jane Thomas)
  • It is not the years in your life but the life in your years that counts! (Jane Thomas)
  • We live in an ascending scale when we live happily, one thing leading to another in an endless series. (Jane Thomas)
  • Life is a means of extracting fiction. (Jane Thomas)
  • Life is a gamble at terrible odds, if it were a bet, you would not take it. (Jane Thomas)
  • Give a man a dollar and you cheer his heart. Give him a dream and you challenge his heart. Give him Christ and you change his heart. Then the dollar and the dream become meaningful to him, and to others. (Jane Thomas)
  • May you live all the days of your life. (Jane Thomas)
  • Man alone is born crying, lives complaining, and dies disappointed. (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]
