Life Quotes

"There are two tragedies in life. One is not to get your heart's desire. The other is to get it." ~ Man And Superman by George Bernard Shaw "Half the trouble in life is caused by pretending there isn't any." ~ The House of Mirth by Edith Wharton "We are such stuff
As dreams are made on, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep." ~ The Tempest by William Shakespeare "Mine honor is my life; both grow in one;
Take honor from me, and my life is done." ~ King Richard II by William Shakespeare It is an uneasy lot at best, to be what we call highly taught and yet not to enjoy: to be present at this great spectacle of life and never to be liberated from a small hungry shivering self--never to be fully possessed by the glory we behold, never to have our consciousness rapturously transformed into the vividness of a thought, the ardor of a passion, the energy of an action, but always to be scholarly and uninspired, ambitious and timid, scrupulous and dim-sighted. ~ Middlemarch by George Eliot If we had a keen vision and feeling of all ordinary human life, it would be like hearing the grass grow and the squirrel's heart beat, and we should die of that roar which lies on the other side of silence. ~ Middlemarch by George Eliot "Just breathing isn't living!" ~ Pollyanna by Eleanor H. Porter "Life is as tedious as a twice-told tale
Vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man;" ~ King John by William Shakespeare Father Time is not always a hard parent, and, though he tarries for none of his children, often lays his hand lightly upon those who have used him well; making them old men and women inexorably enough, but leaving their hearts and spirits young and in full vigour. With such people the grey head is but the impression of the old fellow's hand in giving them his blessing, and every wrinkle but a notch in the quiet calendar of a well-spent life. ~ Barnaby Rudge by Charles Dickens Remember to the last, that while there is life there is hope. ~ Wreck of the Golden Mary by Charles Dickens
