I've learned that you have to make careful choices because everything has an impact. I've also learned that you can't please everyone in life, so please yourself and figure out what really matters.

Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more.

It is through gratitude for the present moment that the spiritual dimension of life opens up.

I have measured out my life with coffee spoons.

The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.

The people you live with at college, those first roommates often are people you're still friends with the rest of your life.

A mountain is composed of tiny grains of earth. The ocean is made up of tiny drops of water. Even so, life is but an endless series of little details, actions, speeches, and thoughts. And the consequences whether good or bad of even the least of them are far-reaching.

Life is ten percent what happens to you and ninety percent how you respond to it.

Always say 'yes' to the present moment... Surrender to what is. Say 'yes' to life - and see how life starts suddenly to start working for you rather than against you.

In real life, I'm a really smiley person. I smile when I talk and I laugh.

The quality of a person's life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor.

A photograph can be an instant of life captured for eternity that will never cease looking back at you.

You change your life by changing your heart.

I'm a big believer that life changes as much as you want it to.

Life is not black and white; there is some gray nuance to it.

Being yourself is one of the hardest things because it's scary. You always wonder whether you'll be accepted for who you really are. I decided to call my record 'Inside Out' because that's my motto about life. I don't think you ever succeed at trying to be anyone else but who you truly are.

We live in a rainbow of chaos.

I'm a big believer that your life is basically a sum of all the choices you make. The better your choices, the better opportunity to lead a happy life.

Life is about growing and improving and getting better.

Realize deeply that the present moment is all you ever have. Make the Now the primary focus of your life.

Life flies by, and it's easy to get lost in the blur. In adolescence, it's 'How do I fit in?' In your 20s, it's 'What do I want to do?' In your 30s, 'Is this what I'm meant to do?' I think the trick is living the questions. Not worrying so much about what's ahead but rather sitting in the grey area - being OK with where you are.

Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well.

Life is filled with tragedy, with long patches of struggle and with, I think, beautiful bursts of joy and accomplishment. Blessed with those moments, you just try to relax as much as possible and focus on the little things, like the joy of changing your baby's diaper.

The more sand has escaped from the hourglass of our life, the clearer we should see through it.

I always had a fantasy of being a chef, because I like kitchen life.

Life is too short to miss out on the beautiful things like a double cheeseburger.

Brotherhood means laying down your life for somebody, really willing to sacrifice yourself for somebody else.

There are no regrets in life, just lessons.

Life is not a solo act. It's a huge collaboration, and we all need to assemble around us the people who care about us and support us in times of strife.

You have to go through those mountains and valleys - because that's what life is: soul growth.

If you don't embrace who you are and accept who you are, you won't be able to live a happy life.

Sometimes we let life guide us, and other times we take life by the horns. But one thing is for sure: no matter how organized we are, or how well we plan, we can always expect the unexpected.

No one is the same, and we all have different life experiences. It's not my place to judge them or for them to judge me. We should all be accountable for our own lives.

I just enjoy life now. I just enjoy every morning I get to wake up.

Be free, and live life fully.

Life is short, and it is up to you to make it sweet.

Opportunities to find deeper powers within ourselves come when life seems most challenging.

Life itself is the most wonderful fairy tale.

No matter what happens in life, be good to people. Being good to people is a wonderful legacy to leave behind.

Help others and give something back. I guarantee you will discover that while public service improves the lives and the world around you, its greatest reward is the enrichment and new meaning it will bring your own life.

I'm a quiet person, and I live a quiet, pleasant, ordinary, simple life.

Weddings are important because they celebrate life and possibility.

It's like driving your car. If you drive too fast on the highway, you will topple, so you better maintain your speed. Life is similar to that, and that's the way you have to control your head.

People will always have an opinion, but you have to live life the way you want to. It's very easy to tell others what to do, but difficult to implement it on yourself.

Failure at some point in your life is inevitable, but giving up is unforgivable.

I live a pretty simple life.

The longer I live, the more beautiful life becomes.

Mistakes are a part of being human. Appreciate your mistakes for what they are: precious life lessons that can only be learned the hard way. Unless it's a fatal mistake, which, at least, others can learn from.

Life is far too important a thing ever to talk seriously about.

There are three constants in life... change, choice and principles.
