Herb Kelleher Quotes

The advantage of living is not measured by length, but by use; some men have lived long, and lived little; attend to it while you are in it. It lies in your will, not in the number of years, for you to have lived enough.

It does not matter how long you live, but how well you do it.

There must be more to life than having everything.

I always believed no matter where you are, as long as you're doing what you love doing, you're going to be happy.

Our obligation is to give meaning to life and in doing so to overcome the passive, indifferent life.

Merely to exist is not enough.

Are You Living or Just Existing?" -Tyler Perry The Family That Preys

The measure of a man's life is the well spending of it, and not the length.

A life well used procures a happy death.

There is certainly no greater happiness than to be able to look back on a life usefully and virtuously employed, to trace our own progress in existence, by such tokens as excite neither shame nor sorrow.

It is not enough to merely exist. It's not enough to say, 'I'm earning enough to live and support my family. I do my work well. I'm a good parent.' That's all very well. But you must do something more.

You weren’t created to simply exist, to endure, or to go through the motions; you were created to be really alive.

Whilst I yet live, let me not live in vain.

What is a great life but a youthful intention carried out in maturity?

Our great and glorious masterpiece is to live appropriately.

To live is not a blessing, but to live well.

Start embracing the life that is calling you and use your life to serve the world.

When you spend your life doing what you love to do, you are nourishing your Soul. It matters not what you do, only that you love whatever you happen to do.

I seek not a long life, but a full one, like you Lord Jesus.

I can't think of anything better to do with a life than to wear it out in efforts to be useful to the world.

I think every person should be able to enjoy life. Try to decide what you most enjoy doing, and then look around to see if there is a job for which you could prepare yourself that would enable you to continue having this sort of joy.

...that not life, but a good life, is to be chiefly valued.
