TEN ENLIGHTENING SHORT QUOTES ABOUT LIVING LIFE DELIBERATELY WITH MEANING and PURPOSE
Wisdom from Henry David Thoreau, Paulo Coehlo, Maria Shriver, Pablo Picasso, Kurt Vonnegut, Carlos Castaneda and others
LOOKING FOR THE INNER SANCTUARY
Many men go fishing
All of their lives
Without knowing that it is
Not fish they are after.
—Henry David Thoreau
LIVING DELIBERATELY
I went to the woods
Because I wanted to live deliberately.
I wanted to live deep and
Suck out all the marrow of life…
To put to rout all that was not life;
And not, when I came to die,
Discover that I had not lived.
—Henry David Thoreau
THE COURAGE TO CHANGE
If you’re brave enough
To say goodbye,
Life will reward you
With a new hello.
—Paulo Coehlo
SURROUND YOURSELF WITH THE GOOD
There are more people doing
Good stuff and moving us forward
Than people sowing division.
I surround myself with people
Who have faith in the future of humanity.
—Maria Shriver
GO FOR GREATNESS
Don’t be afraid
To give up the good
To go for the great.
—John D. Rockefeller
THE POWER WITHIN YOU
Never underestimate the power
You have to take your life
In a new direction.
—Germany Kent
DON’T WAIT
Only put off until tomorrow
What you are willing to
Die having left undone.
—Pablo Picasso
LIFE IS ABOUT GROWING WINGS
We have to continually be
Jumping off cliffs and developing
Our wings on the way down.
—Kurt Vonnegut
THE FIRST STEP
The first step towards getting somewhere
Is to decide you’re not going to
Stay where you are.
—J.P. Morgan
THE WISE PERSON CHOOSES TO BE STRONG
We either make ourselves miserable
Or make ourselves strong.
The amount of work is the same.
—Carlos Castaneda
