Quotes About Life And Death
Quotes About Life And Death
In endowing us with memory, nature has revealed to us a truth utterly unimaginable to the unreflective creation, the truth of immortality... The most ideal human passion is love, which is also the most absolute and animal and one of the most ephemeral.
- George Santayana
Unlike man, animals, so to speak, live without knowing death. The individual animal enjoys fully the immutability of its gender, being conscious of itself only as an immortal being.
- Arthur Schopenhauer
"Who am I?" Maybe you've never even asked yourself this question. You might think you already know who you are. Unfortunately, however, it's likely that you don't know who you are at all. And if you don't know your real identity, you're in trouble. You'll spend your life in a kind of dream state—you'll falsely identify yourself as something or someone you aren't. Then, on the basis of this false identification, you'll determine the goals of your life and the purpose of your existence. You use these goals to gauge whether you are making "progress" in life, whether you are a "success." And you are aided and abetted in this delusion by a complex network of relationships with other dreamers. Of course, at death (and sometimes before), the whole thing turns into a nightmare
The certainty of death and the uncertainty of the hour of death is a source of grief throughout our life.
- E. Morin
- Epicurus
It is possible to provide security against other ills, but as far as death is concerned, we men live in a city without walls.
Death is never a trick; nature doesn’t play a comedy; instead, it’s a tragic, colossal and unstoppable drama.
- L. Fuerbach
The irresistible and incessant stream of time carries all creations in its wave, throwing them into the depths of obscurity, regardless of whether they are trivial or, on the contrary, notable and important.
- Ann Comnena
The earth that's nature's mother is her tomb.
- Shakespeare
She died or vanished somewhere, forgotten as a nameless number on a list which was subsequently mislaid.
- Boris Pasternak
Death frights us. Death is a perpetual torment, for which there is no sort of consolation. There is no way by which it may not reach us. We may continually turn our heads this way and that, as if in a suspected country, but we can’t forget death.
- Montaigne
Men come, go, sing and dance, without uttering a word about death. All this is very fine: but, when it comes either to themselves, their wives, their children, or their friends, taking them unawares and unprepared, then what torment, what outcries, what madness and despair.
- Montaigne
Man is a being that knows death, but can’t believe it.
- E. Morin
The conscience of death accompanies us since childhood, as conscience of the absolute destruction of the only precious treasure of ours: our I.
- E. Morin

The anguish of death hangs over and leads the human spirit to wonder about the mysteries of existence, man’s destiny, life, the world.

Happy Quotes About Life
Happy Quotes About Life
Resolve to keep happy and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties.
--Helen Keller
The greater part of our happiness or misery depends on our dispositions, and not on our circumstances. We carry the seeds of the one or the other about with us in our minds wherever we go.
--Martha Washington
The pleasantest things in the world are pleasant thoughts: and the great art of life is to have as many of them as possible.
--Montaigne
To get up each morning with the resolve to be happy…is to set our own conditions to the events of each day. To do this is to condition circumstances instead of being conditioned by them.
--Ralph Waldo Emerson
Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.
--Thich Nhat Hanh
No matter how much madder it may make you, get out of bed forcing a smile. You may not smile because you are cheerful; but if you will force yourself to smile, you'll end up laughing. You will be cheerful because you smile. Repeated experiments prove that when man assumes the facial expressions of a given mental mood — any given mood — then that mental mood itself will follow.
— Kenneth Goode
Joy does not simply happen to us. We have to choose joy and keep choosing it every day.
— Henri Nouwen
Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.
--Abraham Lincoln
Happiness is not in our circumstance but in ourselves. It is not something we see, like a rainbow, or feel, like the heat of a fire. Happiness is something we are.
--John B. Sheerin
The art of living does not consist in preserving and clinging to a particular mood of happiness, but in allowing happiness to change its form without being disappointed by the change; for happiness, like a child, must be allowed to grow up.
--Charles Langbridge Morgan
The really happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery when on a detour.
-- Unknown
Happiness does not depend on outward things, but on the way we see them.
— Count Leo Tolstoy
The happiest people don't worry too much about whether life is fair or not, they just get on with it.
- Andrew Matthews
For most of life, nothing wonderful happens. If you don't enjoy getting up and working and finishing your work and sitting down to a meal with family or friends, then the chances are that you're not going to be very happy. If someone bases his happiness or unhappiness on major events like a great new job, huge amounts of money, a flawlessly happy marriage or a trip to Paris, that person isn't going to be happy much of the time. If, on the other hand, happiness depends on a good breakfast, flowers in the yard, a drink or a nap, then we are more likely to live with quite a bit of happiness.
–Andy Rooney
The art of being happy lies in the power of extracting happiness from common things.
— Henry Ward Beecher
Tranquil pleasures last the longest; we are not fitted to bear the burden of great joys.
-- Christian Nestell Bovee
It is only possible to live happily ever after on a day to day basis.
--Margaret Bonnano
Happiness is not having what you want. It is wanting what you have.
– Unknown
You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.
— Albert Camus
Most men pursue pleasure with such breathless haste, that they hurry past it.
–Kierkegaard
If we'd stop trying to be happy we could have a pretty good time.
--Edith Wharton
Happiness is as a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but which if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.
--Nathaniel Hawthorne
The Spirit bears witness. Ecstasy and enlightenment, inspiration and intuition are not necessary. Happy is the man who is worthy of these; but woe unto us if we wait for such experiences; woe unto us if we do not perceive that these things are of secondary importance.
-- Karl Barth
One ought to seek out virtue for its own sake, without being influenced by fear or hope, or by any external influence. Moreover, that in that does happiness consist.
-- Diogenes Laertius, Zeno
You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy.
-- Hebrews 1:9
It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere.
--Agnes Repplier
Seek to do good, and you will find that happiness will run after you.
--James Freeman Clarke
I think I began learning long ago that those who are happiest are those who do the most for others.
— Booker T. Washington
If we try hard to bring happiness to others, we cannot stop it from coming to us also. To get joy, we must give it, and to keep joy, we must scatter it.
--John Templeton
Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.
--Buddha
Genuine happiness consists in those spiritual qualities of love, compassion, patience, tolerance and forgiveness and so on. For it is these which provide both for our happiness and others’ happiness.
–The Dalai Lama
When we are such as He can love without impediment, we shall in fact be happy.
--C.S. Lewis
