The golden moments in the stream of life rush past us, and we see nothing but sand; the angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone.

Life is an unfoldment, and the further we travel the more truth we can comprehend. To understand the things that are at our door is the best preparation for understanding those that lie beyond.

The things that will destroy America are prosperity-at-any-price, peace-at-any-price, safety-first instead of duty-first, the love of soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life.

Give me the luxuries of life and I will willingly do without the necessities.

You cannot share your life with a dog, as I had done in Bournemouth, or a cat, and not know perfectly well that animals have personalities and minds and feelings.

March on. Do not tarry. To go forward is to move toward perfection. March on, and fear not the thorns, or the sharp stones on life’s path.

I look to the future because that’s where I’m going to spend the rest of my life.

The ultimate value of life depends upon awareness and the power of contemplation rather than upon mere survival.

Life is too short to not have fun; we are only here for a short time compared to the sun and the moon and all that.

Life is like a dogsled team. If you ain’t the lead dog, the scenery never changes.

No matter where you are, what point in your life you’re at, it’s not the end.

There is no passion to be found playing small – in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.

We all face storms in life. Some are more difficult than others, but we all go through trials and tribulation. That’s why we have the gift of faith.

Life is a journey. When we stop, things don’t go right.

Youth is something I never wanna take for granted. I just want to smile and live life.

Singing is my life. It has always been my life. It will always be my life.

What if you gave someone a gift, and they neglected to thank you for it – would you be likely to give them another? Life is the same way. In order to attract more of the blessings that life has to offer, you must truly appreciate what you already have.
