Life is like
eating artichokes, you have got to go through so much to get
so little.
-- Thomas A. Dorgan
Life is
infinitely stranger than anything which the mind of man
could invent. We would not dare to conceive the things which
are really merely commonplaces of existence. If we could fly
out of that window hand in hand, hover over this great city,
gently remove the roofs and peep in at the queer things
which are going on, the strange coincidences, the planning,
the cross-purposes, the wonderful chain of events, working
through generations and leading to the most outer results,
it would make all fiction with its conventionalities and
foreseen conclusions most stale and unprofitable.
-- Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
1859-1930, British Author,
''Sherlock Holmes''
He lives who
dies to win a lasting name.
-- Henry Drummond
1786-1860, British Banker,

When I
consider life, it is all a cheat. Yet fooled with hope,
people favor this deceit.
-- John Dryden
1631-1700, British Poet,
Dramatist, Critic

People do not
live nowadays. They get about 10% out of life.
-- Isadora Duncan
1878-1927, American Dancer
What life
means to us is determined, not so much by what life brings
to us as by the attitude we bring to life; not so much by
what happens to us as by our reaction to what happens.
-- Lewis L Dunnington
Maxim for
life: You get treated in life the way you teach people to
treat you.
-- Wayne Dyer
1940-, American
Psychotherapist, Author, Lecturer
Be glad of
life because it gives you a chance to love and to work and
to play and to look up at stars.
-- Henry Van Dyke
1852--1933, American
Protestant Clergyman and Writer
