Choosing to be positive and having a grateful attitude is going to determine how you are going to live your life.

I have failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed.

Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.

Life can only be understood backwards but it must be lived forwards.

My mother was the most beautiful woman I ever saw. All I am I owe to my mother. I attribute all my success in life to the moral, intellectual and physical education I received from her.

Character develops itself in the stream of life.

For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today? And whenever the answer has been No for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.

I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there is not, than live my life as if there is not and die to find out there is.

But friendship is precious, not only in the shade, but in the sunshine of life, and thanks to a benevolent arrangement the greater part of life is sunshine.

Life is a mirror and will reflect back to the thinker what he thinks into it.

I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it is a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities.

Every moment and every event of every man life on earth plants something in his soul.

Life's most persistent and urgent question is, What are you doing for others?'

Imagine all the people living life in peace. You may say I am a dreamer, but I am not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us, and the world will be as one.

Life has its own hidden forces which you can only discover by living.

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.

Whatever your life's work is, do it well. A man should do his job so well that the living, the dead, and the unborn could do it no better.

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.

Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They came through you but not from you and though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
