"The art of living is more like wrestling than dancing."
Marcus Aurelius
Gaius Julius the Caesar's Uncle, Marcus Aurelius, is a Roman senator. He is too a Roman Warrior, once won a war with Persians. Yes, I know life is not just an art. But here we know, that life is full of struggles and problems to fight for, rather than dancing around, just have fun.

"Here is the test to find whether your mission on Earth is finished: if you're alive, it isn't."
Richard Bach
If you're still alive in this world, remember, that nobody else have rights to stop you, your life, and your jobs in earth. Including you, except God himself your life planner and creator.

"I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see."

"Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well."
Josh Billings
Born Henry Wheller Shaw, is a humorist that once wrote this: good life, luxury life, all things wealthy, won't help your life, if you don't use then good.

"Life is a long lesson in humility."
James M. Barrie
Time after time, sometimes we were humiliated. That's learning.

"The purpose of life is a life of purpose."
Robert Byrne
We have a purpose that God gave to us, even before we were born, God bless us and planned all things for us, since we were still in our mother's womb. And we, have to live that purpose. That's our form of worship in our daily and nightly life.

"You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life."
Albert Camus
This philosopher wants to tell us that, we don't have to search for what happiness means, or looking for the meaning of life. How to find them? Don't have to search them. You'll find it yourself, along your life's way.

"Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out."
Anton Chekhov
Even idiots, if they work hard, they can get through problems.

"You fall out of your mother's womb, you crawl across open country under fire, and drop into your grave."

A simple life without meaning, it's just that.

"Only a few things are really important."

Not all things important. Be selective.

"Life has meaning only if one barters it day by day for something other than itself."

What mission that God gave us? Live for others.

"Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself."

No one can control yourselves except God. Be yourself, be your own.

And of course, one of my favourites ...

"If you always put limit on everything you do, physical or anything else. It will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them."
Bruce Lee
If you keep lazy, you will be forever lazy.
