Our path is sometimes rough and sometimes smooth; nonetheless, life is a constant journey... whatever we do is regarded as our journey, our path. That path consists of opening oneself to the road, opening oneself to the steps we are about to take.
Nothing in life is sure, my son. Except the promise of death.
A lot of Americans like happy endings, but life does not necessarily have a happy ending.
Dying is easy, it's living that scares me to death.
You're never safe from being surprised until you're dead.
Remember to be gentle with yourself and others. We are all children of chance and none can say why some fields will blossom while others lay brown beneath the August sun.
Life is too mysterious to try to map it out. I've certainly lived long enough to know it will take you places you never thought it would take you - and some of those places are kind of wonderful.
In real life things don’t go so smoothly. At certain points in our lives, when we really need a clear-cut solution, the person who knocks at our door is, more likely than not, a messenger bearing bad news.
Not everything in life can go perfectly according to plan. I mean I didn't keep every girlfriend I ever had.
Life is a question without a standard answer.
I thought I knew everything about love and relationships in my 20s, the ignorance of youth is bliss. As you get older, you start to realise that you don't really know anything and life is a great traveling journey. Life is unexpected...you just never know whats going to happen.
Benjamin Franklin said there were only two things certain in life: death and taxes. But I'd like to add a third certainty: trash. And while some in this room might want to discuss reducing taxes, I want to talk about reducing trash.
Life doesn't often turn out the way we think it will, does it?
You may have a plan, but life throws you curve balls. Put God first; his plan is better anyway.
We almost manage to forget that things happen that we don't anticipate.
Life is complex. Each one of us must make his own path through life. There are no self-help manuals, no formulas, no easy answers. The right road for one is the wrong road for another...The journey of life is not paved in blacktop; it is not brightly lit, and it has no road signs. It is a rocky path through the wilderness.
Life isn't a book. There's no guarantee of a happy ending.
There are no guarantees in life. The simple twists of fate and the breaks of the game are the two maxims that define so much of the success and failure in life.
Not everything in this life has a happy ending, but this life is not the end of the story.
For every moment of truth, there's confusion in life
Spiritual stagnation ensues when man's environment becomes unpredictable or when his inner life is made wholly predictable.
Everybody dies. There’s nothing you can do about it. Whether or not you eat six almonds a day. Whether or not you believe in God. (Although there’s no question a belief in God would come in handy. It would be great to think there’s a plan, and that everything happens for a reason. I don’t happen to believe that. And every time one of my friends says to me, “Everything happens for a reason,” I would like to smack her.)
I've learned to accept birth and death . . . but sometimes I still worry about what lies between.
Do you ever wonder why things have to turn out the way they do?
Let's face it, life is a constant challenge. It's full of unexpected detours that no one but you can navigate.
