Life Quotes A-Z by Author |
Money is one of the most important subjects of your entire life. Some of life's
greatest enjoyments and most of life's greatest disappointments stem from your
decisions about money. Whether you experience great peace of mind or constant
anxiety will depend on getting your finances under control.

I am just a person who is human, down to earth enjoying life.. whatever god

We must have a theme, a goal, a purpose in our lives. If you don’t know
where you’re aiming, you don’t have a goal. My goal is to live my life
in such a way that when I die, someone can say, she cared.

We do not consider our principles as dogmas contained in books said to come
from heaven. We derive our inspiration, not from heaven, or the unseen world,
but directly from life.

Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives.. you are now lying
in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference
between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side here in
this country of ours.. You the mothers who sent their sons from far away countries
wipe away your tears. Your sons are now living in our bosom and are in peace.
Having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well
Mustafa
Kemal Ataturk - Life

I absolutely believe in the power of tithing
and giving back. My own experience about
all the blessings I've had in my life is
that the more I give away, the more that
comes back. That is the way life works,
and that is the way energy works.

It is once your ideas have been transformed
into enough money, and if all failed, you
would still live your lifestyle, and you
understand that just because you have made
more money than most, you are not better
than the common person. We are all going
to die broke. (Blixseth's definition of
success)

I swore I was going to exclusively collect
assets and not liabilities for the rest
of my life. I swore never to take gambles
I couldn’t back up, or that I couldn’t
afford to lose. And, I’ve stuck with
that ever since.

I found that in prison that I had more time
to read the Bible, I had more time to contemplate
life, and more time to look upon my fellow
man. And I worked very hard during the period
in there to help other people in the same
situation. And I think that even in the
most dastardly people, there is a goodness
there, and you've got to find that goodness.
Alan
Bond - Life

Ridiculous yachts and private planes and big limousines won’t make people
enjoy life more, and it sends out terrible messages to the people who work
for them. It would be so much better if that money was spent in Africa –
and it’s about getting a balance.
Richard
Branson - Philanthropy
There is a spiritual side to our connection with the planet. And in this
material world, that's anathema. It is somewhat worrying. What I say.. it makes
life. It gives us fulfilment. It makes us whole human beings. And without it,
we make mistakes. And, boy, are the leaders of the world making mistakes at the
moment.
Bob

It's important for us to explain to our
nation that life is important. It's not
only life of babies, but it's life of children

My pro-life position is I believe there's
life. It's not necessarily based in religion.
I think there's a life there, therefore
the notion of life, liberty and pursuit

Your life right now is a reflection of your
past thoughts. That includes all the great
things, and all the things you consider
not so great. Since you attract to you what
you think about most, it is easy to see
what your dominant thoughts have been on
every subject of your life, because that
is what you have experienced.
Rhonda
Byrne - Thinking

- Attraction
Be grateful for what you have now. As you begin to think about all the things
in your life you are grateful for, you will be amazed at the never ending thoughts
that come back to you of more things to be grateful for. You have to make a start,
and then the law of attraction will receive those grateful thoughts and give you
more just like them.

It seems that we have it backward in our society. We tend to look up to people
who are under a great deal of stress, who can handle loads of stress, and those
who are under a great deal of pressure.

Noone knows exactly where thought comes from, but it can be said that thought
comes from the same place as whatever it is that beats our heart.. it comes from
being alive.
Richard
Carlson - Life

In order for us human beings to commit ourselves personally to the inhumanity
of war, we find it necessary first to dehumanize our opponents, which is in itself
a violation of the beliefs of all religions. Once we characterize our adversaries
as beyond the scope of God's mercy and grace, their lives lose all value.
Jimmy
Carter - War

The world’s forests need to be seen for what they are.. giant global
utilities, providing essential services to humanity on a vast scale. Rainforests
store carbon, which is lost to the atmosphere when they burn, increasing global
warming. The life they support cleans the atmosphere of pollutants and feeds it
with moisture. They help regulate our climate and sustain the lives of some of
the poorest people on this Earth.

To have passion, to have a dream, to have a purpose in life. And there are
three components to that purpose, one is to find out who you really are, to discover
God, the second is to serve other human beings, because we are here to do that
and the third is to express your unique talents and when you are expressing your
unique talents you lose track of time.

The way you think, the way you behave, the way you eat, can influence your

My view is that, you know, life unfolds at its own rhythm. You know, I have never
lived a life that I thought I could plan out. And I'm just trying to do the best
I can every day. I find I have a lot to get done between the time I get up and
the time I go to bed.

You know, people make a lot of money talking about me, don't they? They just
get on those shows, and they talk away. There's nothing I can do. And that's one
of the great lessons I try to convey in my book, which my mother implanted in
me as a young girl.. Is you can either be an actor in your own life, or a reactor
in somebody else's.

For many people a job is more than an income – it's an important part
of who we are. So a career transition of any sort is one of the most unsettling

I just found it interesting to talk to adults I admired, and to discover that
the path they took was never all that clearly defined. It was comforting to me
when I figured out that you don't have to know what you want to do with your life;
you just have to take a few steps in one direction, and other opportunities will
open up.

I'm convinced that we can write and live our own scripts more than most people
will acknowledge. I also know the price that must be paid. It's a real struggle
to do it. It requires visualization and affirmation. It involves living a life
of integrity, starting with making and keeping promises, until the whole human
personality the senses, the thinking, the feeling, and the intuition are ultimately
integrated and harmonized.

Actually I did not invent the seven habits, they are universal principles
and most of what I wrote about is just common sense. I am embarrassed when people
talk about the Covey Habits, and dislike the idea of being some sort of guru.

We are the creative force of our life, and through our own

My life honestly isn't as weird as people

The biggest shock when I lost it all was
the realization that so much of my life
had been out of my control. When I started
to make the money back, I vowed that it
would never happen again. I
bought things only when I could afford them.
There was no big mortgage, no cars on hire
purchase. I remember buying a TR6 sports
car for £6,000, and funnily enough
it gave me more pleasure than the Porsche
ever had.

If we agree that the bottom line of life

I do not deny that many appear to have succeeded in a material way by cutting
corners and by manipulating associates, both in their professional and in their
personal lives. But material success is possible in this world and far more satisfying
when it comes without exploiting others.
