We live not in our moments or our years: The present we fling from us like the rind Of some sweet future, which we after find Bitter to taste.
- quote by Richard Chenevix Trench
We sleep, but the loom of life never stops and the pattern which was weaving when the sun went down is weaving when it comes up to-morrow.
- quote by Henry Ward Beecher
We write to taste life twice, in the moment, and in retrospection. We write, like Proust, to render all of it eternal, and to persuade ourselves that it is eternal. We write to be able to transcend our life, to reach beyond it.
- quote by Anaïs Nin
We, we live! ours are the hours, and the living have their claims.
- quote by Friedrich Schiller
Well, as you know, there are many things in life that are not fair, that wealthy people can afford and poor people can't. But I don't believe that the Federal Government should take action to try to make these opportunities exactly equal, particularly when there is a moral factor involved.
- quote by Jimmy Carter
Were I to live my life over again, I should live it just as I have done. I neither complain of the past, nor do I fear the future.
- quote by Michel de Montaigne
Were the offer made true, I would engage to run again, from beginning to end, the same career of life. All I would ask should be the privilege of an author, to correct, in a second edition, certain errors of the first.
- quote by Benjamin Franklin
What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead.
- quote by Nelson Mandela
What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead.
- quote by Nelson Mandela
What is a great life? It is the dreams of youth realised in old age.
- quote by Alfred de Vigny
