Life                                                                       [1094 - 119]

The years come in silence.

Life - we have come here only to visit, not to stay.

The good life is a process, not a state. It is a direction, not a destination.

Believe that life is worth living and your faith makes it a reality.

Your life is worth living, but not that you constantly think about it.

Life is full of big things for you, if you learn to live with small things.

Many of us humans spend our lives brooding over the past, worrying about the present and fearing the future.

Very few of us live today - most of us prepare to live tomorrow.

The past is a lesson. The present is a gift. The future is the reason to continue.

Don't ask what is the meaning of life, but what meaning you want for your life.

You yourself must find your own meaning for your life, because life in itself has no meaning.

The purpose of your life is that you acquire a purpose for your life.

When you take your life into your own hands, and what happens? Terrible thing: you have no one to blame.

If you take difficulties in advance, you will suffer twice.

Don't try to live forever! You will not succeed.

We only live once, but that's good enough.

We all have two lives. The second one begins when we realize that we only have one.

I can sum up everything I've learned about life in few words: it goes on.

Aging

Middle age: when our feelings begin to turn into symptoms.

A man never grows up, he just gets older.

A man over fifty-five doesn't do stupid things anymore - he thinks.

Aging is transition from passion to compassion.

If you want a long old age, you must grow old early.

It's not the years that make us old, but life.

We recognize old age that we do not learn new things and that we do not forget old things.

Aging: First we forget names, then faces, later we forget to pull the zipper up and then down.

The best thing about getting older is that I no longer want all the things I couldn't have when I was younger.

Above all, the elderly must be careful not to be lazy and inactive.

Old age is not so terrible at all when we think of its alternative.

Old age and sickness bring out the essential features of our character.

It's a myth that older people are wise, they've just become more cautious.

Aging doesn't make us wiser, it makes us walk slower.

Changes and upheavals have always been repulsive and hateful to us old people.

The old go towards death, the young comes it.

The only cure for old age is a grave.

Death 

Life is a sexually transmitted disease whose mortality is 100%.

The seven deadly sins: wealth without work, pleasure without conscience, science without humanity, knowledge without character, politics without principles, commerce without morality, worship without sacrifice.

Bear your cross patiently, but don't let it strain you to death.

There is life before death. It is too late to give compliments after death.

Career is a horse that arrives at the gate of eternity without a rider.

I don't get to choose when and how I die. Only to decide how I will live.

To live is dangerous - one can die - but does anyone know if it is dangerous to die?

Die, Doctor? That would be the last thing I would do.

Death has a good side: it sets a limit to old age.

Life equalizes all men, death highlights the most significant.

Life is a beautiful soap bubble. In death you see how empty the human bubble is.

Death changes everything, erases everything. Even the mistakes.

Life? Yes, it always ends badly.

There are cures for everything but death.

Death is the greatest thing, and therefore it is the last.

Your death is more the problem of those left behind than your own.

Miscellaneous

Life does not begin at conception or birth. It only starts when the children have moved out of the home.

Adults never understand anything, and children constantly cannot explain things to them.

It takes a lifetime to realize that you don't know anything. That's why grandmother and grandchildren get along so well.

The word "Love" is used to describe the sexual desire of the young, for the middle-aged their cohabitation and the mutual dependence of the elderly.

As a young you should study wisdom and as an old you should practice it.

The young encounter difficulties, difficulties encounter the old.

If you go slow, an accident will catches up you, if you go fast, you will go an accident.

When the young yearn to go out into the world, the old yearn for home.

When wealth disappears, nothing disappears. When health disappears, something disappears. When the character disappears, everything disappears.

Glory and fame are quickly forgotten, but anonymity lasts forever.

Let go of the past and move on.
