The mark of the immature man is that he wants to die nobly for a cause, while the mark of the mature man is that he wants to live humbly for one.
The function of man is to live, not to exist.
Your life has purpose as long as you dedicate it to love. It's not what we do but who we are that forms our biggest contribution.
You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.
The meaning of life is not to be discovered only after death in some hidden, mysterious realm; on the contrary, it can be found by eating the succulent fruit of the Tree of Life and by living in the here and now as fully and creatively as we can.
The unexamined life is not worth living.
A psychoneurosis must be understood, ultimately, as the suffering of a soul which has not discovered its meaning.
It is not death or dying that is tragic, but rather to have existed without fully participating in life- that is the deepest personal tragedy.
For the secret of man's being is not only to live but to have something to live for. Without a stable conception of the object of life, man would not consent to go on living, and would rather destroy himself than remain on earth, though he had bread in abundance.
I think life is really good.
The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.
I leave this life with no regrets. It was a wonderful life - full and complete with the great loves and great endeavors that make it worth living.
Wealth, my son, should never be your goal in life. Your words are eloquent but they are mere words. True wealth is of the heart, not of the purse.
Don't seek more days in your life but more life in your days.
The greatest tragedy in life is not death, but a life without a purpose.
There's more to life than physical and material.
The measure of a man's life is the well spending of it, and not the length.
The meaning of life is just to be alive. It is so plain and so obvious and so simple.
We come unbidden into this life, and if we are lucky we find a purpose beyond starvation, misery, and early death which, lest we forget, is the common lot.
You'll be old and you never lived, and you kind of feel silly to lie down and die and to never have lived, to have been a job chaser and never have lived.
The world must be romanticized. In this way the originary meaning may be found again.
For this is the journey that men and women make, to find themselves. If they fail in this, it doesn't matter much else what they find.
To give life a meaning, one must have a purpose larger than self.
Try not to become a man of success, but a man of value. Look around at how people want to get more out of life than they put in. A man of value will give more than he receives. Be creative, but make sure that what you create is not a curse for mankind.
If you contribute to other peoples happiness, you will find the true meaning of life. The key point is to have a genuine sense of universal responsibility
