It is here that we encounter the central theme of existentialism: to live is to suffer, to survive is to find meaning in the suffering.
These tasks, and therefore the meaning of life, differ from man to man, and from moment to moment. Thus it is impossible to define the meaning in life in a general way.
Despair is suffering without meaning.
Life is not what it’s supposed to be. It’s what it is. The way you cope with it is what makes the difference.
Most of my life I have done what I wanted to do. I have had fun on the job.
Happiness is a state of mind. It’s just according to the way you look at things.
Be curious, not judgmental.
The question, O me! so sad, recurring – What good amid these, O me, O life? That you are here – that life exists and identity, that the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.
I would say that life at 84, I am having as much fun as I’ve ever had in my life. I mean I get to do what I love every day with the people I love-and it just doesn’t get any better than that.
After all, a crisis doesn’t make a person; it reveals what a person is made of.
Let the world know why you’re here, and do it with passion.
Seize every second of your life and savor it. Value your present moments.
Don’t ever let someone tell you that you can’t do something. You got a dream, you gotta protect it. When people can’t do something themselves, they are going to tell you that you can’t do it. You want something, go get it. Period.
Danger is very real but fear is a choice.
Don’t let failure go to your heart, and don’t let success go to your head.
Study while others are sleeping; work while others are loafing; prepare while others are playing; and dream while others are wishing.
If you can imagine it, you can achieve it. If you can dream it, you can become it.
The adventure of life is to learn...
No pain, no palm; no thorns, no throne; no gall, no glory; no cross, no crown.
The hardest thing in the world is to simplify your life; it’s so easy to make it complex.
