Life Lessons Quotes

The only thing that comes to those who wait is leftovers.

~ Danny Stone

Look, you can say that life is meaningless, because in the end we are all no more than dust in the wind and all that we do will ultimately be forgotten in hundreds or thousands of years’ time. But do you really want to live with that belief? Give yourself a higher meaning, give yourself a purpose why you were given this life. I am not a religious person but I do believe that we are all given this life for a reason, and that death is only the beginning of something bigger. Call me crazy, I don’t care. It gives me sense and an urgency to make this life count because I know it matters. You feel that way because you do not have that. Give this life a meaning and all that you do and will come to do will become meaningful instead of meaningless

~ Jellis Vaes

There is no such thing as a miracle. That is, there is never an absolute reversal of any natural law. Every event, however unexpected by us, who are all more or less grossly ignorant of Nature and of Nature's laws, is the result of pre-existing causes, which develop results in ways and to extents strictly conformable to the energies set in motion. Supernormal events maybe, but nothing is supernatural.

~ William Wynn Westcott

Giving up is just saying that ice cream shouldn't be ice cream because one person says it isn't ice cream, giving up is like saying that hot dogs are hot cats. Giving up is like saying burgers are nasty which they aren't. What I'm trying to say is giving up is not a pathway to success giving up is just an easier way to just fail in life, now that I'm done saying that I'm going to go get food.

~ Sofia Reyes

No matter how strong or strong-willed you are, you cannot live a stressful, maxed-out life without that pace eventually biting you in the butt. It is necessary to take breaks, set parameters, and be kind to yourself if you want to continue making an impact in your little corner of the world.

~ Cynthia Mendenhall

Gladys, darling, light of my life. There are principles higher than mere survival. It’s not enough to live this life; there must be a quality to living. There are minimum standards. If a man can’t get an upgrade when almost every other guest in the entire hotel has been brutally murdered, then something is wrong.

A simple flap of a butterfly's wings can change the course of your destiny forever.

~ Baz Black

Through technology the whole world has now become the media's parish, talk-show hosts the prophets, actors and musicians the priests, and any script will do for the Scriptures as long as moral constraints are removed. Sitting before a well-lit box is all the cultic performance needs, and each person can enthrone his or her own self as divine. Truth has been relegated to subjectivity; beauty has been subjugated to the beholder; and as millions are idiotized night after night, a global commune has been constructed with he arts enjoying a totalitarian rule.

~ Ravi Zacharias

When a baby comes into the world, its hands are clenched, right? Like this? He made a fist. Why? Because a baby, not knowing any better, wants to grab everything, to say, 'The whole world is mine.' But when an old person dies, how does he do so? With his hands open. Why? Because he has learned his lesson. What lesson? I asked. He stretched open his empty fingers. We can take nothing with us.

~ Mitch Albom

~ Michael A. Smith

When you consistently hold onto your passion with faith and unconditionality regardless of what anyone says or does, the very fire that ignites your passion, will pave a way for your dream to manifest in the physical universe.

~ Dr. Jacinta Mpalyenkana

If we define beauty as having blue eyes (and only blue eyes), then we will, indeed, find a gene for beauty. If we define intelligence as the performance on only one kind of test, then we will, indeed, find a gene for intelligence. The genome is only a mirror for the breadth or narrowness of human imagination.

~ Siddhartha Mukherjee

Staying in an unhealthy relationship that robs you of peace of mind, is not being loyal. It is choosing to hurt yourself mentally, emotionally and sometimes, physically.

~ Kemi Sogunle

Cold feet under a warm blanket, steam over an empty mug--rain splatters on dry window pane--open journals of closed memories... tears of laughter and joy of pain... schmaltz of diametric morning.

~ Val Uchendu

He changed me. He helped me see who I really was and realize that I didn’t like that person. He made me want to be different. He made me want to be better to myself and everyone else.

~ Ashley Uzzell

Sometimes you cannot believe what you see, you have to believe what you feel. And if you are ever going to have other people trust you, you must feel that you can trust them, too---even when you're in the dark. Even when you're falling.

~ Mitch Albom

Like the three points in a triangle, knowing your value, maintaining your value, and getting compensated for your value are essential in building professional stability and longevity. If the compensation or the opportunity sounds too good to be true — it probably is. Sooner or later, reality prevails over rhetoric.

~ Joe Jordan

Effective life management isn’t about finding more time to fill; it’s about recognizing you don’t have to do anything you do not choose to do. Hiding a choice behind a “have to” is irresponsible. Everything filling the white space in your life is there because you chose to put it there. We always have the power to say, “No.” We just need to be ready to live with the consequences.

~ Joe Jordan

All I do know is that as we age the weight of our unsorted baggage becomes heavier...much heavier. With each passing year, the price of our refusing to do that sorting rises higher and higher.

Everywhere you look, there you are. The same intelligence that created and creates all things is in you as it is in everything you see and don’t see: the sky, birds, trees, water, fire, rocks—name it, this intelligence is in it. This also means that there’s a part of you in everything, and no-thing, and everything plus no-thing has a part of you in them. Therefore, you are in everything and everything is in you. All is one.

~ Dr. Jacinta Mpalyenkana

No one can give you that which you can find within yourself.

~ Belsebuub

If I wanted to have an interesting life - which I did - then there was no point sitting around debating everything in my head on a constant loop. If I wanted my life to change, then Had to do something. Or at least try.

~ Robin Talley

I've come to realize that life is neither a battle nor a game to be won, it is a game nonetheless, but to be played... enjoyed. There are neither winners nor losers... just players--and what's great is that you can choose who to play with

~ Val Uchendu

Things change everyday. With each new dawn, it is not the same world as before. And you’re not the same person you were either.

~ Haruki Murakami

We were always eating expired things. Milk, bread, biscuits, cake. We forgot about them as they sat around the house and just as they had gone bad, we put them in our mouths. Chocolates I brought back with me from Australia, cheeses in last year's Christmas hamper, juice from the last time someone decided to go grocery shopping. We didn't always realize they tasted funny – not everything curdles and a two-month-old orange can be just as sweet. When we did, it was usually too late. Sometimes it wasn't. We finished what we had started anyway.

~ Cheryl Julia Lee
