Life

Life is not holding a good hand; Life is playing a poor hand well.
-- Danish proverb

Accept no one’s definition of your life but define yourself.
-- Harvey Fierstein
Live the life you've imagined.
- - Henry David Thoreau

There is more in us than we know. If we can be made to see it, perhaps, for the rest of our lives, we will be unwilling to settle for less.
-- Kurt Hahn

We learn the ropes of life by untying the knots.
- Unknown

Is the life I'm living the life that wants to live in me?
-- Parker Palmer

"The greatest use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it."
-- William James

Fate gives all of us three teachers, three friends, three enemies, and three great loves in our lives.  But these twelve are always disguised, and we can never know which one is which until we've loved them, left them or fought them.
- - Gregory David Roberts 

Life isn't always ideal or romantic. It's a series of triumphs and disappointments, and that's okay.  That best we can do is open our hearts and learn to appreciate and forgive.
- - Adrian Grenier, star of HBA series 'Entourage' ("Turning Point," Readers Digest, June 2007)

Nothing will sustain you more potently than the power to recognize in your humdrum routine, as perhaps it may be thought, the true poetry of life.
- Sir William Osler (1849-1919) Canadian physician

In the end, only three things matter:
How much you loved,
How gently your lived
and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you.
- Guatama Buddha
