The silence of death, of the cemetery, was no punishment, but a reward for a life well lived. ~ Caitlin Doughty
Life Well Lived quotes by Caitlin Doughty
Unable to choose how I would die physically, I could only choose how I would die mentally. Whether my mortality caught me at twenty-eight or ninety-three, I made the choice to die content, slipped into the nothingness, my atoms becoming the very fog that cloaked the trees. The silence of death, of the cemetery, was no punishment, but a rewards for a life well lived. ~ Caitlin Doughty
Life Well Lived quotes by Caitlin Doughty
She knew her husband would never stray, so highly did he value that which he'd waited nearly six thousand years to know, so precious was it to him: love. She knew he would be there with her until the very end, that he would cherish each wrinkle, every line in her face, because in the final analysis they were not a negation of life but an affirmation of a life well lived. Proof positive of laughter and tears, of joy and grief, of passion, of living. ~ Karen Marie Moning
Life Well Lived quotes by Karen Marie Moning
I was tired of fighting the windstorm I was tossed into, and instead I would let go and ride with the winds of change. How bad could it be, compared to the life I knew? I was living life as if it were a rehearsal for the real thing. Another beginning might be rough at first, but any place worth getting to is going to have some problems. I wanted the good life, the life well lived, and you can't buy that or marry into it. It's there to be found, and it can be taken by those who want it and have the resolve to make it happen for themselves. ~ John William Tuohy
Life Well Lived quotes by John William Tuohy
Time well spent leads to life well lived. ~ Martin Uzochukwu Ugwu
Life Well Lived quotes by Martin Uzochukwu Ugwu
This is life. The longer you live, the more you fail. Failure is the mark of a life well lived. ~ Brandon Sanderson
Life Well Lived quotes by Brandon Sanderson
Life is like playing the violin in public and learning the instrument as one goes on. ~ Samuel Butler
Life Well Lived quotes by Samuel Butler
The measure of a life well lived is how many good dogs you can fit into it.
[or cats] ~ Marion Lennox
Life Well Lived quotes by Marion Lennox
You need to remember the best legacy you can give your kids is an example of a life well lived. They may listen to what you say, but they will do what you do. If you tell them to take care of yourself but you don't do it yourself, what kind of message are you sending? ~ Brooke Castillo
Life Well Lived quotes by Brooke Castillo
Is love partnership for everyone? Is it essential to a life well lived, or is that just a cultural myth? ~ Jeff Brown
Life Well Lived quotes by Jeff Brown
Change is the currency of a life well lived. How are you spending yours? ~ Will Craig, Living The Hero's Journey
Life Well Lived quotes by Will Craig, Living The Hero's Journey
The most difficult thing to do after a life well lived is to sit down and type it all out. To start with, your fingers are old and gnarled. You can see the skin crinkled up like paper, the knobby knuckles, the veins standing up blue and aggressive and you wonder, when did your hands change, when did they stop being young and firm and definite, when did the hesitancy creep in, when did the trembling begin. Your mind sieves through memories as thick as molasses and as bitterly sweet. The words trip on your tongue but hesitate to make their way onto the page because you debate endlessly in your head about which of them you should put down in print, terrified of the permanency of the written word. Memories are the kind of elusiveness that shift, change form, and remodel themselves by the second. It is a challenge to wrestle with them, to get them to agree to be analysed, to be put down in words and encapsulated into sentences, moulded into paragraphs. As long as they are shifting, morphing into different things as the moment suits them, they aren't bound by one person's recollection of how things were, of how they happened. These are my memories.
And this was my life. And so I try to write this. I am already half way through what I am trying to put down. I have no idea who would want to read the story of my life. But I write it out, more for myself, than for anyone else who would care to read. ~ Kiran Manral
Life Well Lived quotes by Kiran Manral
Busy is good, isn't it? Busy means we're hard at it, achieving our ends or "goals." Haven't had time to stop, or look around or think. That's considered the sign of a life well lived ... Suppose, though, you're not sure that what you're doing is at all worthwhile. Suppose you blundered into it over a spoonful of lime pickle. It's easy, it pays quite well. But really it's a distraction. It stops you thinking about what you ought to be doing. ~ Sebastian Faulks
Life Well Lived quotes by Sebastian Faulks
We are kidding ourselves when we romanticize death as the climax of a life well lived. It is an enemy. It cuts us off from all the wonderful pleasures of this world. We call death sweet names only as the lesser of evils. The executioner that delivers the coup de grace in our suffering is not the fulfillment of a longing, but the end of hope. The longing of the human heart is to live and to be happy. ~ John Piper
Life Well Lived quotes by John Piper
At the end of the day, what I cherish most are the human relationships. With the unfailing support of my wife and partner I have lived my life to the fullest. It is the friendships I made and the close family ties I nurtured that have provided me with that sense of satisfaction at a life well lived, and have made me what I am. ~ Lee Kuan Yew
Life Well Lived quotes by Lee Kuan Yew
We might not be the ones to change the world. We might not belong to the few that "put a ding in the universe." We might not be something the whole world would celebrate. But...In the little corners that we live; in the lives that we've played a part in, we should be nothing but unforgettable. ~ Nesta Jojoe Erskine
Life Well Lived quotes by Nesta Jojoe Erskine
True wealth does not glitter. It is revealed by the beauty of a life well lived. ~ Debasish Mridha
Life Well Lived quotes by Debasish Mridha
Real security only comes when we are comfortable with who we are, real happiness is a byproduct of a life well lived. ~ Daniel Gottlieb
Life Well Lived quotes by Daniel Gottlieb
A lot of people might define a life well lived by how much is in the bank. I feel like it's how much you laugh. ~ Jill Kargman
Life Well Lived quotes by Jill Kargman
Indeed, the big decisions in life are hardly ever clear - except for one. And that one is piercingly clear: life is a series of dilemmas, of options, of conundrums, of possibilities taken and not taken. Negotiating these moments well is of the essence of the life well lived. ~ Joan D. Chittister
Life Well Lived quotes by Joan D. Chittister
Happiness is not a goal ... it's a by-product of a life well lived. ~ Eleanor Roosevelt
Life Well Lived quotes by Eleanor Roosevelt
Best Attitude for living a Life Well Lived is toFeed Your Heart with Love and Harmony AND DO IT NOW! Not tomorrow, NOW!!!!
_nickc ~ Nick Catricala
Life Well Lived quotes by Nick Catricala
A lot of people are frightened by old age - by being around people who are, basically, on their way out - but I'm fascinated by it. It's an amazing thing to be around someone who has had a life well lived. ~ Cate Blanchett
Life Well Lived quotes by Cate Blanchett
Create a story of which you will be proud. ~ Pam Jenoff
Life Well Lived quotes by Pam Jenoff
A life without imagination would not be a life well lived. Colour your thoughts and paint the shared skies with your dreams for all to see. ~ Truth Devour
Life Well Lived quotes by Truth Devour
Photos sat on the piano and shelves bulged with books, testament to a life well lived. ~ Louise Penny
Life Well Lived quotes by Louise Penny
Running is about finding your inner peace, and so is a life well lived. ~ Dean Karnazes
Life Well Lived quotes by Dean Karnazes
Experiences are the currency of a life well lived. ~ Mark Batterson
Life Well Lived quotes by Mark Batterson
The dignity to be sought in death is the appreciation by others of what one has been in life, ... that proceeds from a life well lived and from the acceptance of one's own death as a necessary process of nature ... It is also the recognition that the real event taking place at the end of our life is our death, not the attempts to prevent it. ~ Sherwin B. Nuland
Life Well Lived quotes by Sherwin B. Nuland
One of the hallmarks of a life well lived, a life worthy to return to God's presence and receive a fulness of the Father, is to be "valiant in the testimony of Jesus". Paul was valiant, and we can be valiant as well. To be "valiant in the testimony of Jesus" is to be faithful. ~ Lawrence E. Corbridge
Life Well Lived quotes by Lawrence E. Corbridge
A life well lived is the most exquisite work of art. ~ Erwin McManus
Life Well Lived quotes by Erwin McManus
Happiness is the result of a life well lived ~ Danny Dover
Life Well Lived quotes by Danny Dover
You're not supposed to die with your potential. A life well lived squeezes all the potential placed within and does something with it. ~ Erwin McManus
Life Well Lived quotes by Erwin McManus
Participation. Good intentions. That's a recipe for a life well lived. ~ Ted Sanders
Life Well Lived quotes by Ted  Sanders
Growing older is an opportunity for you to increase your value and competence as the neural connections in your hippocampus and throughout your brain increase, weaving into your brain and body the wisdom of a life well lived, which allows you to stop living out of fear of disappointing others and being imperfect. Ageless living is courageous living. It means being undistracted by the petty dramas of life because you have enough experience to know what's not worth worrying about and what ought to be your priorities. ~ Christiane Northrup
Life Well Lived quotes by Christiane Northrup
The ultimate act of heroism shouldn't be death. You're always saying you want to give Baz the stories he deserves ... So you're going to kill him off? Isn't the best revenge supposed to be a life well-lived? The punk-rock way to end it would be to let them live happily ever after. ~ Rainbow Rowell
Life Well Lived quotes by Rainbow Rowell
To do what you wanna do, to leave a mark - in a way that you think is important and lasting - that's a life well-lived. ~ Laurene Powell Jobs
Life Well Lived quotes by Laurene Powell Jobs
Honor is in family, in hard work and care and love, in a small life well lived. ~ Natasha Ngan
Life Well Lived quotes by Natasha Ngan
The truth is that a life well lived is always lived on a rising scale of difficulty. ~ N.D. Wilson
Life Well Lived quotes by N.D. Wilson
Many people experience the travesty of regret in their end days; the realization that nothing held them back, that nothing was in their way, that there is no one to blame, only themselves. Don't just sit by waiting for your life to happen, make it happen! Don't just hope your dreams will come alive, breathe life into them! Don't let your fear help you birth a well-nourished regret, take action today! At the end of the day, at the end of the year, at the end of your life, live in such a manner that you can hold your head up high, smile, and be proud of a life well lived. ~ Steve Maraboli
Life Well Lived quotes by Steve Maraboli
A life full of laughter is a life well lived. ~ V.C. Birlidis
Life Well Lived quotes by V.C. Birlidis
Look at the stories of people who have changed the world - they have so often started with little, but they distinguished themselves by how they approached life, opportunity, relationships and struggle. Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, Gandhi. You name them. The list is huge but the common qualities are small.

Resourcefulness and a determination to survive the 'lemons' are invariably at the heart of these successes.

The secret to a life well lived is taking the resources around us - the people we know, the possessions we own, the skills we've acquired - and combining them in such a way that they add up to something greater than their constituent parts.

That's the lemonade bit.

So often in the wild I have felt totally beaten, but I have kept going, kept trying to think smart, be resourceful, positive, energetic - despite the fatigue - and it has always made a critical difference.

We can't always choose our circumstances but we can choose how we respond to what life throws at us, and there is power when we realize our ability to alter our destiny.

A life in the wild has taught me not to fear the unexpected, but to embrace it. In fact, I have learnt that those curve balls from left-field are very often the making of us. ~ Bear Grylls
Life Well Lived quotes by Bear Grylls
If I had thought the beef marrow might be a hell of a lot of work for not much difference, I needn't have worried. The taste of the marrow is rich, meaty, intense in a nearly-too-much way. In my increasingly depraved state, I could think of nothing at first but that it tasted like really good sex. But there was something more than that, even. What it really tastes like is life, well lived. Of course the cow I got marrow from had a fairly crappy life – lots of crowds and overmedication and bland food that might or might not have been a relative. But deep in his or her bones, there was a capacity for feral joy. I could taste it. ~ Julie Powell
Life Well Lived quotes by Julie Powell
You cannot buy a life well lived! ~ Shawn King
Life Well Lived quotes by Shawn King
Men prided themselves on aging. They might lose their hair and expand their bellies and still be deemed a wondrous catch, marrying twenty years their junior. Yet heaven forbid a young lady grow into old age and be proud of the lines on her face; the very lines that told a story of a life well lived. The nerve of us to live happily and without apology. ~ Kerri Maniscalco
Life Well Lived quotes by Kerri Maniscalco
Do not plan to die, do not plan for the death of your name or your influence - rather, plan for the resting of a life well lived. Make an eternal mark. ~ Archibald Marwizi
Life Well Lived quotes by Archibald Marwizi
A life well lived is a life full of decisions. ~ Guess
Life Well Lived quotes by Guess
Our power lies in our small daily choices, one after another, to create eternal ripples of a life well lived. ~ Mollie Marti
Life Well Lived quotes by Mollie Marti
Love is the key to a life well lived. ~ Rasheed Ogunlaru
Life Well Lived quotes by Rasheed Ogunlaru
A life well lived is the best antidote to that fatal truth. Be active, not a passive worrywart. Find magic in the moment, joy in making someone smile. Listen to a lover's sigh; look into the dancing eyes of a child you made feel special. Most of all, marvel at the wonder that eons of evolutionary time and all your unique experiences have joined to comprise the symphony that is YOU. ~ Philip G. Zimbardo
Life Well Lived quotes by Philip G. Zimbardo
A life well-lived or a life lived well? The placement of words really does change the connotation. ~ Carol Morgan
Life Well Lived quotes by Carol Morgan
There are many things in this world that are an outrage, to be sure, but death at our current life expectancy doesn't strike me as one of them. Maybe I sound like some Victorian who felt that forty years ought to be enough for any man, but one of the marks of a life well lived has to be reaching a state of finally getting it, of not needing more, and of being able to sign off with something approaching peace of mind. ~ David Rakoff
Life Well Lived quotes by David Rakoff
Cemeteries are full of unfulfilled dreams ... countless echoes of 'could have' and 'should have' ... countless books unwritten ... countless songs unsung ... I want to live my life in such a way that when my body is laid to rest, it will be a well needed rest from a life well lived, a song well sung, a book well written, opportunities well explored, and a love well expressed. ~ Steve Maraboli
Life Well Lived quotes by Steve Maraboli
Glory is sacrifice, glory is exhaustion, glory is having nothing left to give.
Almost.
It is death by living. ~ N.D. Wilson
Life Well Lived quotes by N.D. Wilson
A life well-lived is not measured by material possessions or the size of the funeral turnout. The quantity and depth of laugh lines on the face of the person lying in repose in their coffin reveals a life's true worth. ~ Stewart Stafford
Life Well Lived quotes by Stewart Stafford
Happiness comes as a by-product of the "life well lived." And ~ Henry Cloud
Life Well Lived quotes by Henry Cloud
Now I would say at any given moment in American life, there are probably 45 poets in airplanes vectoring across the country heading towards ... I don't know if anyone's reading it, but poets are still flying around the country going from lectern to lectern.That circuitry has become very well-established. ~ Billy Collins
Life Well Lived quotes by Billy Collins
That judges of important causes should hold office for life is a questionable thing, for the mind grows old as well as the body. ~ Aristotle.
Life Well Lived quotes by Aristotle.
One of those chaps would make short work of a fellow. Pick the bones clean no matter who it was. Ordinary meat for them. A corpse is meat gone bad. Well and what's cheese? Corpse of milk. I read in that Voyages in China that the Chinese say a white man smells like a corpse. Cremation better. Priests dead against it. Devilling for the other firm. Wholesale burners and Dutch oven dealers. Time of the plague. Quicklime feverpits to eat them. Lethal chamber. Ashes to ashes. Or bury at sea. Where is that Parsee tower of silence? Eaten by birds. Earth, fire, water. Drowning they say is the pleasantest. See your whole life in a flash. But being brought back to life no. Can't bury in the air however. Out of a flying machine. Wonder ~ James Joyce
Life Well Lived quotes by James Joyce
In placid hours well-pleased we dream Of many a brave unbodied scheme. But form to lend, pulsed life create, What unlike things must meet and mate: A flame to melt
a wind to freeze; Sad patience
joyous energies; Humility
yet pride and scorn; Instinct and study; love and hate; Audacity
reverence. These must mate, And fuse with Jacob's mystic heart, To wrestle with the angel
Art. ~ Herman Melville
Life Well Lived quotes by Herman Melville
I think maybe Gladstone had it right. I think my father did. They understood that the meaning of life is connected, inextricably, to the meaning of death; that mourning is a romance in reverse, and if you love, you grieve and there are no exceptions---only those who do it well and those who don't. ~ Thomas Lynch
Life Well Lived quotes by Thomas Lynch
When a free man dies, he loses the pleasure of life. A slave loses his pain. Death is the only freedom a slave knows. That's why he's not afraid of it. That's why we'll win. ~ Spartacus
Life Well Lived quotes by Spartacus
Just yesterday I was twenty and meeting some of these people⏤people that I'd spend my life with, that'd become my home.
Just yesterday I was twenty⏤still deeply and desperately in love with my best friend.
I grew older.
We all grow older.
In a blink of an eye, our children will grow old too.
And I'll think: just yesterday they were twenty. Headed for college. Falling in love. Memories will flood behind us, the lake house no longer filled to the brim. As quiet as the moment we first walked in⏤and we'll sit on this hill. Feeling the stillness that exists.
And then we end⏤we end where we started.
Just us.
All six of us. ~ Krista Ritchie
Life Well Lived quotes by Krista Ritchie
If death is inevitable, who's to say that there aren't other things that are inevitable as well? A cross and an empty tomb say 'yes' and 'yes'. ~ Craig D Lounsbrough
Life Well Lived quotes by Craig D Lounsbrough
Life is but a stopping place,
A pause in what's to be,
A resting place along the road, to sweet eternity.
We all have different journeys,
Different paths along the way,
We all were meant to learn some things, but never meant to stay...
Our destination is a place,
Far greater than we know.
For some the journey's quicker,
For some the journey's slow.
And when the journey finally ends,
We'll claim a great reward,
And find an everlasting peace,
Together with the lord ~ Kooshal Dhunnoo
Life Well Lived quotes by Kooshal Dhunnoo
As the opposite of death is life, I think I shall get seduced by Rupert tomorrow. . . Well, that's done and I'm glad it's over! If that's really all there is to it I'd rather have a good smoke or go to the pictures. ~ Erik Larson
Life Well Lived quotes by Erik Larson
It don't matter about all that anyway," Armstrong added. "You think it do, but it don't. A man ain't just his one talent. Lil Louis needs you. And Jones look to you like you his brother. You got the talent of making others your kin, your blood. Music, well that's different. I reckon it got its own worth, but it ain't a man's whole life."
"Aww hell, Louis," I thought. "Ain't nothing else I want. ~ Esi Edugyan
Life Well Lived quotes by Esi Edugyan
Well, listen then. On the other side, fresh young lives thrown away for want of help and by thousands, on every side! A hundred thousand good deeds could be done and helped, on that old woman's money which will be buried in a monastery! Hundreds, thousands perhaps, might be set on the right path; dozens of families saved from destitution, from ruin, from vice, from the Lock hospitals - and all with her money. Kill her, take her money and with the help of it devote oneself to the service of humanity and the good of all. What do you think, would not one tiny crime be wiped out by thousands of good deeds? For one life thousands would be saved from corruption and decay. One death, and a hundred lives in exchange - it's simple arithmetic! Besides, what value has the life of that sickly, stupid, ill-natured old woman in the balance of existence! No more than the life of a louse, of a black-beetle, less in fact because the old woman is doing harm. She is wearing out the lives of others; the other day she bit Lizaveta's finger out of spite; it almost had to be amputated. ~ Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Life Well Lived quotes by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Patriotism," said Lymond, "like honesty is a luxury with a very high face value which is quickly pricing itself out of the spiritual market altogether.

[...] It is an emotion as well, and of course the emotion comes first. A child's home and the ways of its life are sacrosanct, perfect, inviolate to the child. Add age; add security; add experience. In time we all admit our relatives and our neighbours, our fellow townsmen and even, perhaps, at last our fellow nationals to the threshold of tolerance. But the man living one inch beyond the boundary is an inveterate foe.

[...] Patriotism is a fine hothouse for maggots. It breeds intolerance; it forces a spindle-legged, spurious riot of colour.… A man of only moderate powers enjoys the special sanction of purpose, the sense of ceremony; the echo of mysterious, lost and royal things; a trace of the broad, plain childish virtues of myth and legend and ballad. He wants advancement - what simpler way is there? He's tired of the little seasons and looks for movement and change and an edge of peril and excitement; he enjoys the flowering of small talents lost in the dry courses of daily life. For all these reasons, men at least once in their lives move the finger which will take them to battle for their country.…

"Patriotism," said Lymond again. "It's an opulent word, a mighty key to a royal Cloud-Cuckoo-Land. Patriotism; loyalty; a true conviction that of all the troubled and striving world, the soil o ~ Dorothy Dunnett
Life Well Lived quotes by Dorothy Dunnett
To live is to paint, it is to create; but while we are painting, we are being painted, being created as well! ~ Mehmet Murat Ildan
Life Well Lived quotes by Mehmet Murat Ildan
The first week is the hardest. Then little by little the world opens up, and you realize there are all these people around you with their own needs that have nothing to do with you. Then you forget, and everything's about you again. And maybe that cycle continues for the rest of your life. Maybe the world keeps expanding and contracting. Maybe you know you're well when it finally stays the same size. ~ Amy Reed
Life Well Lived quotes by Amy Reed
To live and love is a great fulfillment. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Life Well Lived quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
And when it comes down to it, you realize that no one is really capable of thinking of anyone else, even in the worst misfortune. Because thinking about someone really means thinking about that person minute by minute, not being distracted by anything – not housework, not a fly passing, not meals, not an urge to scratch oneself. But there are always flies and itches. This is why life is hard to live. And these people know that very well. ~ Albert Camus
Life Well Lived quotes by Albert Camus
We are all born with a unique genetic blueprint, which lays out the basic characteristics of our personality as well as our physical health and appearance ... And yet, we all know that life experiences do change us. ~ Joan D. Vinge
Life Well Lived quotes by Joan D. Vinge
Even without success, creative persons find joy in a job well done. Learning for its own sake is rewarding. ~ Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
Life Well Lived quotes by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
You know your Bible too well and life too little. ~ Richard Llewellyn
Life Well Lived quotes by Richard Llewellyn
Headaches you could generally shift with a couple of well-aimed Nurofen and some strong coffee. Heartaches were considerably more tricky to handle. ~ Carole Matthews
Life Well Lived quotes by Carole Matthews
When I started travelling, I would go to a city and be on television and I used to get the question, 'Why do you work? If I were you, I'd just go and lie on a beach somewhere.' And I'd answer, 'Well, I wanted to make something of my life.' ~ Gloria Vanderbilt
Life Well Lived quotes by Gloria Vanderbilt
A vision of the Shining One swirling into our world, a monstrous, glorious flaming pillar of incarnate, eternal Evil--of people passing through its radiant embrace into that hideous, unearthly life-in-death which I had seen enfold the sacrifices--of armies trembling into dancing atoms of diamond dust beneath the green ray's rhythmic death--of cities rushing out into space upon the wings of that other demoniac force which Olaf had watched at work--of a haunted world through which the assassins of the Dweller's court stole invisible, carrying with them every passion of hell--of the rallying to the Thing of every sinister soul and of the weak and the unbalanced, mystics and carnivores of humanity alike; for well I knew that, once loosed, not any nation could hold the devil-god for long and that swiftly its blight would spread! ~ A. Merritt
Life Well Lived quotes by A. Merritt
The moon fled eastward like a frightened dove, while the stars changed their places in the heavens, like a disbanding army.

'Where are we?' asked Gil Gil.

'In France,' responded the Angel of Death. 'We have now traversed a large portion of the two bellicose nations which waged so sanguinary a war with each other at the beginning of the present century. We have seen the theater of the War of Succession. Conquered and conquerors both lie sleeping at this instant. My apprentice, Sleep, rules over the heroes who did not perish then, in battle, or afterward of sickness or of
old age. I do not understand why it is that below on earth all men are not friends? The identity of your misfortunes and your weaknesses, the need you have of each other, the shortness of your life, the spectacle of the grandeur of other worlds, and the comparison between them and your littleness, all this should combine to unite you in brotherhood, like the passengers of a vessel threatened with shipwreck. There, there is neither love, nor hate, nor ambition, no one is debtor or creditor, no one is great or little, no one is handsome or ugly, no one is happy or unfortunate. The same danger surrounds all and my presence makes all equal. Well, then, what is the earth, seen from this height, but a ship which is foundering, a city delivered up to an epidemic or a conflagration?'

'What are those ignes fatui which I can see shining in certain places on the terrestrial globe ~ Pedro Antonio De Alarcón
Life Well Lived quotes by Pedro Antonio De Alarcón
Most of us won't see one another after graduation, and even if we do it will be different. We'll be different. We'll be adults
cured, tagged and labeled and paired and identified and placed neatly on our life path, perfectly round marbles set to roll down even, well-defined slopes. ~ Lauren Oliver
Life Well Lived quotes by Lauren Oliver
But for those whose life is far removed from all business it must be amply long. None of it is frittered away, none of it scattered here and there, none of it committed to fortune, none of it lost through carelessness, none of it wasted on largesse, none of it superfluous: the whole of it, so to speak, is well invested. ~ Seneca.
Life Well Lived quotes by Seneca.
L: You want me just to be your ... friend?
E: You want the truth? I think you're my guardian angel.
L: What?
E: Do you know what it's like to have someone crash into your life with no warning? When you landed in my office, I was like, Who the fuck is this? But you shook me up. You brought me back to life at a time when I was in limbo. You were just what I needed ...
You're just what I need.
L: Well I need you too. So we're even.
E: No, you don't need me. You're doing just fine.
L: Ok. Maybe I don't need you. But ... I want you. ~ Sophie Kinsella
Life Well Lived quotes by Sophie Kinsella
The only way to become the man I was always supposed to become was to serve a higher cause than myself.'
'You served it with your life, and, in some ways mine as well. ~ Victoria Alexander
Life Well Lived quotes by Victoria Alexander
Philosophy is a necessary activity because we, all of us, take a great number of things for granted, and many of these assumptions are of a philosophical character; we act on them in private life, in politics, in our work, and in every other sphere of our lives
but while some of these assumptions are no doubt true, it is likely, that more are false and some are harmful. So the critical examination of our presuppositions
which is a philosophical activity
is morally as well as intellectually important. ~ Karl Popper
Life Well Lived quotes by Karl Popper
Everything about my life looked pretty well messed up compared with how adulthood had always been advertised to me. I ~ Hope Jahren
Life Well Lived quotes by Hope Jahren
Being taken down a few pegs is humbling. Knowing that life is not easy or fair is humbling. Receiving a great honor - well, that would be called an honor. ~ Meghan Daum
Life Well Lived quotes by Meghan Daum
You went away. Cause you said that you can't stand me. So I went away. I was sure that you can't stand me. Well I don't think we have to be like this forever. Is there more to life than love and being together? ~ Tegan Quin
Life Well Lived quotes by Tegan Quin
What's it like to figure out you're gay and then begin the process of coming out? Well, for most of my life, I felt doomed. I could imagine no path that would allow me to realize my authentic self. I felt the need to lie, even to myself, insisting: I am straight. ~ Jane Velez-Mitchell
Life Well Lived quotes by Jane Velez-Mitchell
There's pressure every night to be the best on the court. I put a lot of pressure on myself. Pressure is part of the game. It is also part of life. I want to prove I can do the work and be a success off the court as well as on it. ~ Lamar Odom
Life Well Lived quotes by Lamar Odom
The tragedy is that many of us are living desperate Christian life. Sunday comes and we get some strength, and then we lose some on Monday; a good deal is gone by Tuesday and we wonder whether we have anything left. On Wednesday it has all gone and then we exist. Or perhaps refreshment comes in some other way, some meeting we attend, some friends we meet. Now that is the old order of things, that is not the new. He puts a well within us. We are not always drawing from somewhere outside. The well, the spring, goes on springing up from within into everlasting life. ~ Martyn
Life Well Lived quotes by Martyn
None of this ends tonight. This was a taste. This was a start. We keep going and we go together. We lean on people and we invite people to lean on us. We ask honest questions and we give honest answers. We ask for help, because we know that it's okay to ask for help.

Above all else, we choose to stay. We choose to fight the darkness and the sadness, to fight the questions and the lies and the myth of all that's missing. There is much not missing. We choose to stay, because we are all stories still going. Because there is still some time for things to turn around, time to be surprised and time for change. We stay because no one else ca play your part.

Life is worth living. We'll see you tomorrow. ~ Jamie Tworkowski

I've had, just enough time. ~ Kimberly Perry
Life Well Lived quotes by Kimberly Perry
Lincoln-sad, patient, kindly Lincoln, who after bearing upon his weary shoulders for four years a greater burden than that borne by any other man of the nineteenth century laid down his life for the people whom living he had served as well-built upon his early study of the Bible. ~ Theodore Roosevelt
Life Well Lived quotes by Theodore Roosevelt
You should be with a nice human boy. One who takes your orders and puts up with your demands. Someone who dedicates his life to keeping you safe and well fed. Someone who can make you happy. Someone you can be proud of. Raffe ~ Susan Ee
