Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans.

Get busy living or get busy dying.

You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.

Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.

If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things.

Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game.

Money and success don’t change people; they merely amplify what is already there.

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking.

Not how long, but how well you have lived is the main thing.

If life were predictable it would cease to be life, and be without flavor.

The whole secret of a successful life is to find out what is one’s destiny to do, and then do it.

In order to write about life first you must live it.

The big lesson in life, baby, is never be scared of anyone or anything.

Curiosity about life in all of its aspects, I think, is still the secret of great creative people.

Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.

The unexamined life is not worth living.

Turn your wounds into wisdom.

The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.

The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance; it is the illusion of knowledge

There are no uninteresting things, only uninterested people.

Being ignorant is not so much a shame, as being unwilling to learn.

We kill all the caterpillars, then complain there are no butterflies.

It is certain, in any case, that ignorance, allied with power, is the most ferocious enemy justice can have.
