Life is not so short but that there is always time enough for courtesy.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Each man lived his own life and paid his own price for living it. The only pity was one had to pay so often for a single fault. One had to pay over and over again, indeed. In her dealings with man, Destiny never closed her accounts.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“Ordinary people waited till life disclosed to them its secrets, but to the few, to the elect, the mysteries of life were revealed before the veil was drawn away. Sometimes this was the effect of art, and chiefly of the art of literature, which dealt immediately with the passions and the intellect.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“Each of us has heaven and hell in him, Basil, cried Dorian with a wild gesture of despair.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“Romance lives by repetition, and repetition converts an appetite into an art. Besides, each time that one loves is the only time one has ever loved. Difference of object does not alter singleness of passion. It merely intensifies it. We can have in life but one great experience at best, and the secret of life is to reproduce that experience as often as possible”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“One's days were too brief to take the burden of another's errors on one's shoulders. Each man lived his own life and paid his own price for living it.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“Human life--that appeared to him the one thing worth investigating. Compared to it there was nothing else of any value. It was true that as one watched life in its curious crucible of pain and pleasure, one could not wear over one's face a mask of glass, nor keep the sulphurous fumes from troubling the brain and making the imagination turbid with monstrous fancies and misshapen dreams.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“If one were to live his life fully and completely were to give form to every feeling, expression to every thought, reality to every dream.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“But a chance tone of colour in a room or a morning sky, a particular perfume that you had once loved and that brings subtle memories with it, a line from a forgotten poem that you had come across again, a cadence from a piece of music that you had ceased to play— I tell you, Dorian, that it is on things like these that our lives depend.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“the costume of the nineteenth century is detestable. It is so sombre, so depressing. Sin is the only real colour-element left in modern life.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“I have given away my whole soul to some one who treats it as if it were a flower to put in his coat, a bit of decoration to charm his vanity, an ornament for a summer's day.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“Out of the unreal shadows of night comes back the real life that we had known. We have to resume it where we had left off... p 207”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“No theory of life seemed to him to be of any importance compared with life itself”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“What the worm was to the corpse, his sins would be to the painted image on the canvas. They would mar its beauty, and eat away its grace. they would defile it, and make it shameful. And yet the thing would still live on. It would be always alive. (Dorian Gray regarding his portrait)”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
Without patience, we will learn less in life. We will see less. We will feel less. We will hear less. Ironically, rush and more usually mean less
Quote by -Mother Teresa
At the heart of silence is prayer. At the heart of prayer is faith. At the heart of faith is life. At the heart of life is service
Quote by -Mother Teresa
At the end of life we will not be judged by how many diplomas we have received, how much money we have made, how many great things we have done. We will be judged by “I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat, I was naked and you clothed me. I was homeless, and you took me in
Quote by -Mother Teresa
Keep the corners of your mouth turned up. Speak in a low, persuasive tone. Listen; be teachable. Laugh at good stories and learn to tell them…For as long as you are green, you can grow
Quote by -Mother Teresa
It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish
Quote by -Mother Teresa
It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish
Quote by -Mother Teresa
“Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life; dream of it; think of it; live on that idea. Let the brain, the body, muscles, nerves, every part of your body be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success, and this is the way great spiritual giants are produced.”
Quote by -Swami Vivekananda
“In a day, when you don't come across any problems - you can be sure that you are travelling in a wrong path”
Quote by -Swami Vivekananda
“Dare to be free, dare to go as far as your thought leads, and dare to carry that out in your life. ”
Quote by -Swami Vivekananda
“We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far. ”
Quote by -Swami Vivekananda
“All love is expansion, all selfishness is contraction. Love is therefore the only law of life. He who loves lives, he who is selfish is dying. Therefore love for love's sake, because it is the only law of life, just as you breathe to live.”
Quote by -Swami Vivekananda
“The whole life is a succession of dreams. My ambition is to be a conscious dreamer, that is all.”
Quote by -Swami Vivekananda
“Where can we go to find God if we cannot see Him in our own hearts and in every living being.”
Quote by -Swami Vivekananda
“Be not afraid of life. Believe that life is worth living, and your belief will help create the fact.”
Quote by -William James
“I am done with great things and big things, great institutions and big success, and I am for those tiny, invisible molecular moral forces that work from individual to individual, creeping through the crannies of the world like so many rootlets, or like the capillary oozing of water, yet which if you give them time, will rend the hardest monuments of man's pride.”
Quote by -William James
“If you believe that feeling bad or worrying long enough will change a past or future event, then you are residing on another planet with a different reality system.”
Quote by -William James
“Human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives.”
Quote by -William James
“Knowledge about life is one thing; effective occupation of a place in life, with its dynamic currents passing through your being, is another.”
Quote by -William James
