There’s more to life than increasing its speed. – Mohandas Ghandi

They say before you die, your life flashes before your eyes...make yours worth watching.

Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

One day you'll come to me and ask me what's more important:  You or my life.  I'll say my life and you'll walk away never knowing that you're in my life.

We each take different paths in life but no matter where we go we take a little of each other everywhere.

It doesn't matter where you go in life.  It's who you have beside you that makes it worthwhile.

Some people are just not meant to be in your life, no matter how much you want them to be.

Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they are meant to be there; they serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson, or help you figure out who you are.

Most of the meaningful aspects of life are closely associated with people.  Even the dictionary definition of life involves people.

Life may not be the party we hoped for but as long as we're here we might as well dance.

On the keyboard of life, always keep one finger on the escape key.

People say life is short.  I say I'm shorter.

Monday is a lame way to spend one-seventh of your life.

You spend your whole life believing that you're on the right track, only to discover that you're on the wrong train.

Appreciate the many things that make your life so valuable.

Live life to the fullest, yesterday is gone and tomorrow may never come.

Life’s gifts are wondrous and come to us when it’s time.

Life is like a bicycle; you won't fall off unless you stop pedaling.

Life is like a coin, you can spend it any way you want but you can only spend it once.

Life is what you make it.

Life.  It's just a cereal.

Life is glamorous and exciting.  Just not for me.

Life is full of different things.  It's full of hope and sorrow. 

The things you choose to do today could affect your life tomorrow.

Life is full of decisions, so be careful what you choose.

Life is yours to cherish, but it's also yours to lose.

Live life only for yourself because that's the only person who is going to be there in the end.

Sometimes life hands you what you think is too much to handle, but if it really was, it wouldn't have been given to you.

Life is like a hot bath.  It feels good while you're in it, but the longer you stay the more wrinkled you get.

In life you got to take the good with the bad, smile with the sad, love what you got and remember what you had.

Life brings tears, smiles, and memories.  Tears will dry, smiles will fade, but memories will last forever!

Wherever life takes you may happiness follow.

Life is a journey, a journey that takes us down many roads, some good and some not so good.  However, as we travel we learn, grow, and meet people that make those journeys all worth the travel.  Those kinds of people in a way are like Angels.
