Quotes on the Living of Life   ( quotes) Last week, I joined a forum in Ecademy, which is called the Intellectualize Club.  People from different nations and cultures assemble in this online community and talk about the great books, and the living of life.  Here are some of the great quotes I was able to collect.   If the brain were so simple we could understand it, we would be so simple we couldn't. - Lyall Watson   Get Real. If all it takes is an angry stranger to ruin your day, what are you going to do if something really serious happens? Why give someone else control of your life like that?" - Jeffrey Gitomer   Inside yourself or outside, you never have to change what you see, only the way you see it. -- Thaddeus Golas   The result is not the point. It is the effort to improve ourselves that is valuable. There is no end to this practice. -- Shnuryu SuzukiI have learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends on our dispositions and not on our circumstances."  -- Martha Washington "Take heed: you do not find what you do not seek."  -- English Proverb "The more positive you are when you think and work toward your goals, the faster you achieve them." - Brian Tracy "If you approach life with a sense of possibility and the expectation of positive results, you're more likely to have a life in which possibilities are realized and results are positive."  - Lisa Funderburg A man who becomes conscious of the responsibility he bears toward a human being who affectionately waits for him, or to an unfinished work, will never be able to throw away his life. He knows the "why" for his existence, and will be able to bear almost any "how." -- Victor Frankl We have no more right to consume happiness without producing it than to consume wealth without producing it.   -- George Bernard Shaw, Candida, 1898 If you observe a really happy man you will find him building a boat, writing a symphony, educating his son, growing double dahlias in his garden, or looking for dinosaur eggs in the Gobi desert. He will not be searching for happiness as if it were a collar button that has rolled under the radiator. He will not be striving for it as a goal in itself. He will have become aware that he is happy in the course of living life twenty-four crowded hours of the day.   ~W. Beran Wolfe 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 Every kind of peaceful cooperation among men is primarily based on mutual trust and only secondarily on institutions such as courts of justice and police." -   Albert Einstein   "A cynic is a man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing." --  Oscar Wilde.   "For every person who climbs the ladder of success, there are adozen waiting for the elevator.
