Our Lives Quotes

We are speeding up our lives and working harder in a futile attempt to buy the time to slow down and enjoy it Picture Quote #1

Not only does art imitate life but life imitates art. Perhaps we not only learn about life from stories, perhaps we make our lives through the stories we tell ourselves about the things that happen to us Picture Quote #1

What does it matter, if we tell the same old stories?... Stories tell us who we are. What we’re capable of. When we go out looking for stories we are, I think, in many ways going in search of ourselves, trying to find understanding of our lives, and the people around us. Stories, and language tell us what’s important Picture Quote #1

We may not be able to create or control all of the events that impact our lives but we can create and control our responses to everything that we experience Picture Quote #1

Difficulties come into our lives to develop us. Every storm is a school. Every trial is a teacher. Every experience is an education Picture Quote #1

Our task is to strike a balance, to find a middle way, to learn not to overextend ourselves with extraneous activities and preoccupations, but to simplify our lives more and more. The key to finding a happy balance in modern life is simplicity Picture Quote #1

We wait for things to be different in order to feel okay with life. As long as we keep attaching our happiness to the external events of our lives, which are ever changing, we’ll always be left waiting for it Picture Quote #1

There are those who open their hearts to others... who never think twice about giving of themselves. They are the wonderful warmhearted people who make all the difference in our lives Picture Quote #1

We need to respect the oceans and take care of them as if our lives depended on it. Because they do Picture Quote #1

I have learned that most of us must face some form of challenge in our lives. But without hardship, we wouldn’t learn and grow Picture Quote #1

So often the most meaningful moments in our lives are those that we share with our families. Treasured memories are created by celebrating, sharing and embracing the moments of life with the people we love Picture Quote #1

It’s important how we feel in our homes, because feeling good makes us more gracious. And that makes it easier to welcome others not only into our homes but into our lives Picture Quote #1

The greatest crisis of our lives is neither economic, intellectual, nor even what we usually call religious. It is a crisis of imagination. We get stuck on our paths because we are unable to reimagine our lives differently from what they are right now. We hold on desperately to the status quo, afraid that if we let go, we will be swept away by the torrential undercurrents of our emptiness Picture Quote #1

Sometimes a movie encapsulates a period or a moment in all of our lives in such a way that it never dies Picture Quote #1

If we spent as much time feeling positive about getting older, as we do trying to stay young, how much different our lives would be Picture Quote #1

The greatest opportunity of our lives is to wake ourselves up and get going. There is so much to be done and so little time to do it. We should impress ourselves with the seriousness of slothfulness Picture Quote #1

When we have faith and discipline everything becomes easier. Patience is the mother of all virtues. With anxiety all our lives become worse Picture Quote #1

Like all our memories, we like to take it out once in a while and lay it flat on the kitchen table, the way my wife does with her sewing patterns, where we line up the shape of our lives against that which we thought it would be by now Picture Quote #1

I want labor to be the point, because everything in our lives is miraculously made with no idea of how it’s done. As an active and critical consumer, and as someone who has attempted to make the flawless and failed, I wanted a transparency of construction here. If we know how it is made and how it falls apart, we will know how to rebuild it Picture Quote #1

Life in this world is short. Let us make use of our lives in the pursuit of happiness and not trouble Picture Quote #1

At the threshold of every transition in our lives the devil send a spirit of fear. Therefore be strong and very courageous! Picture Quote #1

I think it’s because we’re looking for the meaning. Where is the meaning? We have mindless jobs, we take frantic vacations, deficit finance trips to the mall to buy more things that we think are going to fill these holes in our lives. Is it any wonder that we’ve lost our sense of direction? Picture Quote #1

I shall clasp my hands together and bow to the corners of the world. May your villages remain ignorant of tax collectors, and may your sons be many and ugly and strong and willing workers, and may your daughters be few and beautiful and excellent providers of love gifts from eminent families that live very far away, and may your lives be blessed by the beauty that has touched mine. Farewell Picture Quote #1

Think of a single word. We’ll use soul as our example. How do you define soul? Is it the same definition I use? Can it ever be it? My soul is not your soul. Our souls, our definitions, are shaped by the singular and cumulative experiences in our lives, the emotional weight we attach to a concept forever locked in the space behind our own eyes Picture Quote #1

If you take any flower you please and look it over and turn it about and smell it and feel it and try to find out all its little secrets, not of flower only but of leaf, bud and stem as well, you will discover many wonderful things. This is how you make friends with plants, and very good friends you will find them to the end of our lives Picture Quote #1

I do not believe that there is any secret or single formula for success, but there are common threads of thought and action that characterize the successful people that I have been fortunate enough to know and observe. I do know, from my own experience, that our chance of succeeding is much greater when we organize and take charge of our lives. When we are willing to make decisions, we aggressively pursue those things in life that are important to us Picture Quote #1

The ability to see our lives as stories rather than unrelated, random events increases the possibility for significant and purposeful action Picture Quote #1

Until we find the meaning of the stories in our lives we’re destined to wander in a wilderness even though we’re in a promised land Picture Quote #1

What would our lives be like if our days and nights were as immersed in nature as they are in technology? Picture Quote #1

Theatres, actors, critics and public are interlocked in a machine that creaks but never stops. There is always a new season in hand and we are to busy to ask the only vital question which measures the whole structure. Why theatre at all? What for? Is it an anachronism, a superannuated oddity? Surviving like an old monument or a quaint custom? Why do we applaud and what? Has the stage a real place in our lives? What function can it have? What could it serve? What could it explore? What are its special properties? Picture Quote #1
