The biggest disease today is not leprosy or tuberculosis, but rather the feeling of being unwanted.

Some people come in our life as blessings. Some come in your life as lessons

Life is an opportunity, benefit from it. Life is beauty, admire it. Life is a dream, realize it. Life is a challenge, meet it. Life is a duty, complete it. Life is a game, play it. Life is a promise, fulfill it. Life is sorrow, overcome it. Life is a song, sing it. Life is a struggle, accept it. Life is a tragedy, confront it. Life is an adventure, dare it. Life is luck, make it. Life is too precious, do not destroy it. Life is life, fight for it

At the heart of silence is prayer. At the heart of prayer is faith. At the heart of faith is life. At the heart of life is service

Life is an adventure, dare it.

Life is a game, play it… Life is too precious, do not destroy it.

Without patience, we will learn less in life. We will see less. We will feel less. We will hear less. Ironically, rush and more usually mean less

Life is an opportunity, benefit from it. Life is beauty, admire it. Life is a dream, realize it.”

Life is love, enjoy it. Life is mystery, know it. Life is a promise, fulfill it.

A life not lived for others is not a life.

The success of love is in the loving – it is not in the result of loving. Of course it is natural in love to want the best for the other person, but whether it turns out that way or not does NOT determine the value of what we have done.

“What the worm was to the corpse, his sins would be to the painted image on the canvas. They would mar its beauty, and eat away its grace. they would defile it, and make it shameful. And yet the thing would still live on. It would be always alive. (Dorian Gray regarding his portrait)” 

“No theory of life seemed to him to be of any importance compared with life itself” 

“Out of the unreal shadows of night comes back the real life that we had known. We have to resume it where we had left off... p 207” 

“I have given away my whole soul to some one who treats it as if it were a flower to put in his coat, a bit of decoration to charm his vanity, an ornament for a summer's day.” 

“the costume of the nineteenth century is detestable. It is so sombre, so depressing. Sin is the only real colour-element left in modern life.” 

“Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault.” 

“But a chance tone of colour in a room or a morning sky, a particular perfume that you had once loved and that brings subtle memories with it, a line from a forgotten poem that you had come across again, a cadence from a piece of music that you had ceased to play— I tell you, Dorian, that it is on things like these that our lives depend.” 

“If one were to live his life fully and completely were to give form to every feeling, expression to every thought, reality to every dream.” 

“Human life--that appeared to him the one thing worth investigating. Compared to it there was nothing else of any value. It was true that as one watched life in its curious crucible of pain and pleasure, one could not wear over one's face a mask of glass, nor keep the sulphurous fumes from troubling the brain and making the imagination turbid with monstrous fancies and misshapen dreams.” 

“One's days were too brief to take the burden of another's errors on one's shoulders. Each man lived his own life and paid his own price for living it.” 

Live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air.

“Romance lives by repetition, and repetition converts an appetite into an art. Besides, each time that one loves is the only time one has ever loved. Difference of object does not alter singleness of passion. It merely intensifies it. We can have in life but one great experience at best, and the secret of life is to reproduce that experience as often as possible” 

“Each of us has heaven and hell in him, Basil, cried Dorian with a wild gesture of despair.”
