“All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another.”
Anatole France
“Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live.”
Norman Cousins
“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children...to leave the world a better place...to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Change is the constant, the signal for rebirth, the egg of the phoenix”
Christina Baldwin
“Our greatest glory is not in never falling but in rising every time we fall”
Confucius
“This life as you live it now and have lived it, you will have to live again and again, times without number, and there will be nothing new in it, but every pain and every joy and every thought and sigh and all the unspeakably small and great in your life must return to you and everything in the same series and sequence -- and in the same way this spider and this moonlight among the trees, and this same way this moment and I myself. The eternal hour glass of existence will be turned again and again -- and you with it, you dust of dust!”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“We do not know what to do with this short life, yet we want another which will be eternal.”
