What we make of Life

[3tbear]

"Life would be infinitely happier if we could only be born at the age of eighty and gradually approach eighteen."
Mark Twain

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
Mark Twain

"And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years."
Abraham Lincoln

"If you think that something small cannot makes a difference - try going to sleep with a mosquito in the room."

"If you love life, life will love you back."
Artur Rubinstein

"Life isn't about keeping score. It's not about how many people call you and it's not about who you've dated, are dating, or haven't dated at all. It isn't about who you've kissed, what sport you play, or which guy or girl likes you. It's not about your shoes or your hair or the color of your skin or where you live or go to school. In fact, it's not about grades, money, clothes, or colleges that accept you or not. Life isn't about if you have lots of friends, or if you are alone, and it's not about how accepted or unaccepted you are. Life just isn't about that.

Life is about who you love and who you hurt. It's about how you feel about yourself. It's about trust, happiness, and compassion. It's about sticking up for your friends and replacing inner hate with love. Life is about avoiding jealousy, overcoming ignorance, and building confidence. It's about what you say and what you mean. It's about seeing people for who they are and not for what they have. Most of all, it is about choosing to use your life to touch someone else's in a way that could never have been achieved otherwise. These choices are what life's about."

Nice! We should listen to Mark and Abe more often.

[3tbear]

You're right Valleygirl. I really like the one by Abe Lincoln, it rings so true.

[valleygirl]

yeah, I really like that one too, but then I just really like Abraham Lincoln. I think he was a great man and an even greater President. He had such a quiet umbleness in his presidency and his life.
