Paulo Coelho Quotes

You're alive only once, as far as we know, and what could be worse than getting to the end of your life and realizing you hadn't lived it?

You only live once, so live a good life!

You only live once, and I just don’t want to waste a minute of my life.

A successful life depends less on how long you live than on how much you can pack into the time you have.

If you're not busy living, you're dying.

Life wastes itself whilst we are preparing to live.

You have to live before you die, or you'll die before you live.

I'm talking about living life to its fullest.

We don't beat the reaper by living longer, but by living well, and living fully - for the reaper will come for all of us. The question is: what do we do between the time we're born and the time he shows up.

I want to live my life so that my nights are not full of regrets.

It is not length of life, but depth of life.

If this was the last day of your life, would you spend it the way you're spending today?

Many a life has been injured by the constant expectation of death. It is life we have to do with, not death. The best preparation for the night is to work diligently while the day lasts. The best preparation for death is life.

Death isn't sad. The sad thing is: most people don't live at all.

Nobody gets to pick their time to die, but living every day to the max is something we all get to do.

Make use of life while you have it. Whether you have lived enough depends upon yourself, not on the number of your years.

Cause' I don't wanna' spend my life jaded, waiting to wake up one day and find that I've let all these years go by wasted. Oh I don't wanna' keep on wishing, missing, but still every morning the color of the night, I ain't spending no more time wasted.

The man who gets the most out of life is not the one who has lived it longest, but the one who has felt life most deeply.

One of the things that has helped me as much as any other is not how long I am going to live, but how much I can do while living.

Men regret their life has been ill-spent, but this does not always induce them to make a better use of the time they have yet to live.

We must each lead a way of life with self-awareness and compassion, to do as much as we can. Then, whatever happens we will have no regrets.

Dying without actually fully living, without waking up to our lives while we have the chance, is an ongoing and significant risk.

Life is too short to nurse one's misery. Hurry across the lowlands so that you may spend more time on the mountain tops.

Don't seek more days in your life but more life in your days.

Life, if well lived, is long enough.
