- "I will not die an unlived life. I will not live in fear of
falling or
catching fire. I choose to inhabit my days, to allow my living to
open me, to make me less afraid, more accessible, to loosen my heart
until it becomes a wing, a torch, a promise. I choose to risk my significance;
to live so that which comes to me as seed goes to the next as blossom
and that which comes to me as blossom, goes on as fruit."
- "The day will come when, after harnessing space, the winds,
the tides and gravitation, we shall harness for God the energies of
love. And on that day, for the second time in the history of the world,
we shall have discovered fire."
- "To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather
than luxury; and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not
respectable; and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly,
talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and
sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await
occasion, hurry never; in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and
unconscious grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony."
- Loev So... You shell be loved
- "Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are. Let me
learn from you, love you, bless you before you depart. Let me not
pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow. Let me hold
you while I may, for it may not always be so. One day I shall dig
my nails into the earth, or bury my face in the pillow, or stretch
myself taut, or raise my hands to the sky and want, more than all
the world, your return."
- Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is beauty, admire it.
Life is bliss, taste it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is luck, make it.
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it.
- "This is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this
day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What
you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your
life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever; in
its place is something that you have left behind...let it be something
good."
- Love the earth and sun and animals,
Despise riches, give alms to everyone that asks,
Stand up for the stupid and crazy,
Devote your income and labor to others...
And your very flesh shall be a great poem.
- "People travel to wonder at the height of the mountains, at
the huge waves of the seas, at the long course of the rivers, at the
vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars, and
yet they pass by themselves without wondering."
- "I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my
spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled
by dry rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in
magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function
of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying
to prolong them. I shall use my time."
