A true education prepares you not only for living but also for life.

A living dog is better than a dead lion

There is no difference between the person living in ignorance and the person living in darkness.

People will not remember what you did for living,they will remember how you touched them with kindness and loving.

Don't get caught in Waiting. When I 'Get This' then I will be able to fully 'Live'. Escape the time dominant mind by fully being here 'NOW'.

The aim of life is to live, and to live means to be aware, joyously, drunkenly, serenely, divinely aware.

I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately. I wanted to live deep and to suck out all the marrow of life, to put to rout all that was not life, and not, when I had come to die, discover that I had not lived.

Try to learn to breathe deeply, really to taste food when you eat, and when you sleep, really to sleep. Try as much as possible to be wholly alive, with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell, and when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough.

What good are vitamins? Eat a lobster, eat a pound of caviar - live! If you are in love with a beautiful blonde with an empty face and no brains at all, don't be afraid. Marry her! Live!

Life is so short, it seems careless not to use it all.

Statistically, the probability of any of us being here is so small that you'd think the mere fact of existing would keep us all in contented dazzlement of surprise.

Life has a practice of living you, if you don't live it.

Everything has been figured out except how to live.

I believe you should live each day as if it was your last, which is why I don't have any clean laundry, because who wants to wash clothes on the last day of their life?

While I thought I was learning how to live, I have been learning how to die.

I don't want to get to the end of my life and find that I lived just the length of it. I want to have lived the width of it as well.

Keep not your roses for my dead, cold brow. The way is lonely, let me feel them now.

Most of us spend our lives as if we had another one in the bank.

To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.

We are always getting ready to live but never living.
