Live for Today, Hope for Tomorrow

Tomorrow is not promised…therefore:

“Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.” —Mahatma Gandhi

“Lives, like money, are spent. What are you buying with yours?” —Roy H. Williams

“How far you go in life depends on you being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and the strong. Because someday in life you will have been all of these.” —George Washington Carver

“Life is a succession of lessons, which must be lived to be understood.” —Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Life begets life. Energy becomes energy. It is by spending oneself that one becomes rich.” —Sarah Bernhardt

“An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.” —Martin Luther King Jr.

“Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.” —Albert Einstein

“We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” —Winston Churchill

“Dream as if you’ll live forever, live as if you’ll die today.” —James Dean

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” — Mark Twain

“Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams.” —Ashley Smith

“Reverence for Life affords me my fundamental principle of morality, namely, that good consists in maintaining, assisting, and enhancing life and that to destroy, harm, or to hinder life is evil. Affirmation of the world — that is affirmation of the will to live, which appears in phenomenal forms all around me — is only possible for me in that I give myself out for other life.” —Albert Schweitzer

“Life is like an onion: You peel it off one layer at a time, and sometimes you weep.”  —Carl Sandburg

Came across this page through my Blogrush widget. Awesome quotes by some very brilliant people. Nothing in life is guaranteed, and I believe the best way to live and figure out what you want in life is to find the happy medium between learning from yesterday, living for today, and preparing for tomorrow.

Thanks for posting these!

Hey I like the new graphics next to the comments. They are pretty cool :)

I think the quote by James Dean is almost spooky, because he fulfilled that quote.
