RANDOM!

Live like you are dying, Laugh so hard you cry, Love so much it hurts…Only then can you know what it’s like to live

Life is full of challenges! Being happy shouldn't be one of them!

Live like you're dying and mean it!

Men's best successes come after their disappointments.

First say to yourself what you would be;
and then do what you have to do.

Dost thou love life?
Then do not squander time,
for that is the stuff life is made of.

Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.

Our life's a stage, a comedy: either learn to play and take it lightly, or bear its troubles patiently.

Govern thy life and thoughts as if the whole world were to see the one, and read the other.

Most of the shadows of this life are caused by our standing in our own sunshine.

Life is short, art long, opportunity fleeting, experience treacherous, judgment difficult.

Life is a tragedy for those who feel, and a comedy for those who think.

Life is like a library owned by the author.
In it are a few books which he wrote himself,
but most of them were written for him.

Life is a rich strain of music, suggesting a realm too fair to be.

Life's a voyage that's homeward bound.

To live is like to love--all reason is against it, and all healthy instinct for it.

When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.

Happiness does not consist in pastimes and amusements but in virtuous activities.


People with many interests live, not only longest, but happiest.

In the hopes of reaching the moon men fail to see the flowers that blossom at their feet.

There is only one person who could ever make you happy, and that person is you.

The happiness of life is made up of minute fractions—the little soon-forgotten charities of a kiss, a smile, a kind look, a heartfelt compliment in the disguise of a playful raillery, and the countless other infinitessimals of pleasurable thought and genial feeling.

Who is the happiest of men? He who values the merits of others, and in their pleasure takes joy, even as though 'twere his own.

Happiness depends more on the inward disposition of mind than on outward circumstances.

The rays of happiness, like those of light, are colorless when unbroken.

Happiness is where we find it, but rarely where we seek it.

Don't waste your life in doubts and fears: spend yourself on the work before you, well assured that the right performance of this hour's duties will be the best preparation for the hours or ages that follow it.

It is not work that kills men, it is worry. Work is healthy; you can hardly put more on a man than he can bear. But worry is rust upon the blade. It is not movement that destroys the machinery, but friction.

Surely there is something in the unruffled calm of nature that overawes our little anxieties and doubts; the sight of the deep-blue sky and the clustering stars above seems to impart a quiet to the mind.

The rose is fairest when 't is budding new,
and hope is brightest when it dawns from fears.

In prosperity, our friends know us; in adversity, we know our friends.


Just pure randomness!! ENJOY!
