When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best...
And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life.

If you cannot be a poet, be the poem.

For what is life but a play in which everyone acts a part until the curtain comes down?

Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old Time is still a-flying:
And this same flower that smiles today
Tomorrow will be dying.

Just living is not enough. One must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower.

The miracle is not to fly in the air, or to walk on the water, but to walk on the earth.

Don’t be afraid your life will end; be afraid that it will never begin.

Life is short and we have never too much time for gladdening the hearts of those who are travelling the dark journey with us. Oh be swift to love, make haste to be kind.

Among the notable things about fire is that it also requires oxygen to burn – exactly like its enemy, life. Thereby are life and flames so often compared.

Life is a tragedy for those who feel, and a comedy for those who think.

Dost thou love life?
Then do not squander time,
for that is the stuff life is made of.

To me, if life boils down to one thing, it's movement. To live is to keep moving.

And in the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.

Sing like no one's listening, love like you've never been hurt, dance like nobody's watching. and live like it's heaven on earth.

For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one.

All experiences of life seem to prove that the impediments thrown in the way of human advancement may, for the most part, be overcome by steady good conduct, honest zeal, activity, perseverance and above all, by a determined resolution to surmount.

Believe in yourself and you can achieve greatness in your life.

For man, as for flower and beast and bird, the supreme triumph is to be most vividly, most perfectly alive.

Life is a ticket to the greatest show on earth.

Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving.

I find it fascinating that most people plan their vacations with better care than they do their lives.

I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that it's not the answer.

Life is a pure flame,
and we live by an invisible sun within us.

Life is the flower for which love is the honey.

In the book of life, the answers aren't in the back.

It is by acts, and not by ideas that people live.

Life is a zoo in a jungle.

Life is the only thing worth living for.

O, with what freshness,
what solemnity and beauty,
is each new day born;
as if to say to insensate man,
'Behold!
thou hast one more chance!
Strive for immortal glory!'

Life is the sum of all your choices.
