Life quotes by author-names starting with B Bertrand Russell: Three passions have governed my life: The longings for love, the search for knowledge, And unbearable pity for the suffering of [humankind]! Love brings ecstasy and relieves loneliness. In the union of love I have seen In a mystic miniature the prefiguring vision Of the heavens that saints and poets have imagined. With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of [people]. I have wished to know why the stars shine. Love and knowledge led upwards to the heavens, But always pity brought me back to earth; Cries of pain reverberated in my heart Of children in famine, of victims tortured And of old people left helpless. I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot, And I too suffer. This has been my life; I found it worth living. Buckminster Fuller: Now there is one outstandingly important fact regarding Spaceship Earth, and that is that no instruction book came with it.

Life quotes by author-names starting with G Germaine Greer: Security is when everything is settled. When nothing can happen to you. Security is the denial of life. Life quotes by author-names starting with H Havelock Ellis: To live remains an art which everyone must learn, and which no one can teach. Helen Keller: Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. Henry David Thoreau: However mean your life is, meet it and live it: do not shun it and call it hard names. Cultivate poverty like a garden herb, like sage.

Life quotes by author-names starting with N Nadine Stair: If I had my life to live over, I'd dare to make more mistakes next time. I'd relax; I'd limber up. I would be sillier than I have been this trip. I would take fewer things seriously. I would take more chances. I would climb more mountains and swim more rivers. I would eat more ice cream and less, beans. I would perhaps have more actual troubles, but I'd have fewer imaginary ones. You see, I'm one of those people who lived sensibly and sanely hour after hour, day after day. Oh, I had my moments, and if I had to do it over again, I'd have more of them. In fact, I'd try to have nothing else. Just moments, one after the other, instead of living so many years ahead of each day! I've been one of those persons who never goes anywhere without a thermometer, a hot water bottle, a raincoat, and a parachute. If I had it to do over again, I would travel lighter than I have. If I had my life to live over again, I would start barefoot earlier in the spring and stay that way later in the fall. I would go to dance more; I would ride more merry-go-rounds. I would pick more daisies. Nike advertisement: There is no finish line. Life quotes by author-names starting with O Oliver Wendell Holmes: Many people die with their music still in them.

No man has learned anything rightly, until he knows that every day is Doomsday. Ray Bradbury: Life is "trying things to see if they work." Robert Frost: In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on. Robert Frost: Forgive, O Lord, my little jokes on Thee,And I'll forgive Thy great big one on me. Robert Heinlein: The supreme irony of life is that hardly anyone gets out of it alive. Roy H. Williams: Lives, like money, are spent. What are you buying with yours? R. D. Laing: Life is a sexually transmitted disease. Life quotes by author-names starting with S Samuel Butler: To live is like to love - all reason is against it, and all healthy instinct for it.
