SOME
QUOTES ON LIFE
Life is defined in many ways. A few
of them are : existence, aliveness and animation.
The opposite of life is death which
means the body stops breathing.
Quotes on life are thoughts on life
which describe the nature and purpose of life.
For example, according to American
journalist Gamallel Bailey (1807-59): We live in deeds , not years; in
thoughts, not breaths; in feelings ,not in figures on the dial; we should count
time by heart throbs. He most lives who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts
the best.
Another anonymous quote says : Life
is a journey, not a home; a road, not a city of habitation; and the enjoyments
and blessings we have are but little inns on the roadside of life, where we may
be refreshed for a moment, that we may with new strength press on to the end
--- to the rest that remaineth for the people of God.
Finally, a quote by philosopher -
writer Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) : To live is not merely to breathe, it
is to act; it is to make use of our organs, senses, faculties, of all those
parts of ourselves which give us the feelings of existence. The man who has
lived longest is not the man who has counted most years, but who has enjoyed
life most.
